Spytunes Spytunes' guitar guru blogs about acoustic and electric guitar lessons

Sandy Buglass First Blog, vocal overdubbing

Here's the room we recorded in for Natasha's session

Here at the site we thought it would be fun to document (or ‘blog’ as today’s young folk say) about what I get up to as a musician and life outside the SpyTunes camp.

I get asked quite a lot about what being a musician actually entails and how you go about your daily routine so hopefully it’ll bring some insight to those wanting to become professional musicians themselves. I’ll try my best to keep the blog weekly, short, interesting and as multi-media as possible (Videos, pictures etc!)

January is generally a quiet spell for us musical types but this is a welcome break as December was particularly busy with gigs and the odd session.
Highlights included playing a show at ‘Fabric’ in London (To anyone unfamiliar with London, Fabric is essentially a massive dance club) and a session with my friend Natasha Bobbe who was demoing for a label (Hot UK boy band, ‘JLS’, were in the next room which was tremendously exiting)

Today I’m putting my producer hat on and recording my friend and fellow musician Murray MacLeod.

He’s in a band called The Xcerts who are super and you should check them out. The song is being sent to New York today to a chap called Mike Sapone (producer for the likes of Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Public Enemy) Here’s a short clip of us recording some vocals in my room:

Enough of my rambling, see you next week, happy playing!
