Tunes for Steve To Lay Down Tracks For

Post Date File Notes
3/31/2020 Street Lights - The guitar track we have was good, but the guitar was slightly out of tune.
3/31/2020 Get It Down - We don't have a Motz track for this one.
None A Hollow Sound This starts out with Motz's guitar so it will be difficult to it will need a click track to make sure it syncs up with the drums before they come in.
3/31/2020 It would be nice to have several takes to pick and choose from.
See section above Around Here You could use the current track since we never worked out the guitar parts. What I have is a sketch.
???? Hope I Didn't Hold You Back To much debate around what we're doing with this one.
