This song was recorded on Saturday, August 28th 2010 at the Saint Claire Recording Company in Lexington, Kentucky.
In order to get multiple camera angles I had the students record the song using a click track. Not only did using the click track help create a better video, but many professional recordings are laid down to a click track.
Viewers continue to wonder why the students aren't jumping around and delivering a great visual performance as well. Apparently no one bothers to read these video descriptions. Playing along with the click track requires a great deal of concentration, so that wouldn't possible for many musicians, especially a bunch of kids....in this case students ranging in age from 13 to 16.
We only had 2 hours to record and videotape this performance. In a rush we missed a very important detail. The intro of the song is supposed to be 2 guitars playing with a clean tone. Although we dialed back the gain on the amps when we recorded the intro, there was still a little bit of distortion which you can hear in the track.
The guitars were recorded with a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier and a Marshall head. The speaker cabinets were two 4x12 Shawnee cabinets and were mic'd with a set of Royers.
We attempted to mix the song just like the original recording. All of the effects, levels, etc... are based on the original version.
We videotaped the performance using two Panasonic AG-HVX200 DVCPRO's.
