Guitarist Recording Collective July 2007 - “Reflection”

The July task for the Recording Collective was to:

Make a piece of music involving a palindrome, where the second half of *something* is the reverse of the first half. This can be the main melody, the riff, the chord sequence, whatever you want… but something has to be palindromic.

I started by taking a repeating two bar chord change for the A section with a B section consisting of a set of descending chords.

For the second half of the piece, I reversed the B section then swapped the two chords around in the A section, ending up with a structure like:

[A] [B] [A] [B] [rev B] [rev A] [rev B] [rev A]

Basically a mirror image hence why I called it ‘Reflection’ :).

Also opted to do some filming again and recorded myself laying down the main lead guitar part on camera :o:

Gear Used:

Lead/Rhythm Guitar: Ibanez RGA321 -> Guitar Rig 2
Bass: Peavey Dynabass -> Guitar Rig 2
Drums: Triphop Loops from eJay
