In honor of tonight’s Svengoolie movie Godzilla vs. Monster Zero, here is a little Kaiju parody song for Bat Books for Beginners.
It is pretty straightforward, going back to my ‘less than an hour’ approach. Simple rhythm and leads. To be honest I did a bunch of versions of the leads behind the vocals and I Frankensteined them together to take the best parts of each take.
This is using my Fender HSS Highway 1 Strat with using the bridge Duncan Distortion pickup. The distortion is just what my Fender Mustang I uses as the British 60s model. Both the rhythm and lead use the same setup. I did add some Audacity reverb to the opening lead to give it a little air.
One thing I’m not sure about is that for the first pass through the rhythm riff I don’t do the strum scratching. My theory is that I wanted to give it a little build up and I think it works. However, it does sound a little bare, luckily it is just the first time through.
