Stefanos Alexiou – Day Tripper

After taking a couple months much needed brake, yesterday I decided to do a video on The Beatles classic “Day Tripper” which is one of my favorite songs from them.

However I wanted to do a very different and original version of Day Tripper, so here’s how it the story:

Rhythm Guitar for Day Tripper

Started by playing the Rhythm Guitar…

Drums for Day Tripper

Then played the drums based on the rhythm guitar…

After that recorded the bass guitar, which I did on a regular guitar with the help of a POG2 pedal since I don’t have an actual bass guitar. 😉

Lead Guitar for Day Tripper

Finally I played the lead guitar for it and here’s where most of the originality happens…

By the time I finished recording all these 4 tracks (taking a video as it went), it got late and I was already exhausted but the final mix to the trucks had to be done prior to syncing the audio tracks to the video track for a YouTube upload.

During the mix some reverb was added to the rhythm & lead guitars and also to the overhead truck of the drums. Also decided to put the rhythm guitar track to the left side at 60% and the lead guitar to the right side at also at 60% for what sounded as a better audio effect during the mix.

So here’s the final result as it was uploaded on YouTube early this morning:
