Song076_Within Reach

Today's song started with an acoustic guitar part...finger-picked A, E then F#m, D, Bm, E. Since I had the acoustic guitar mic'ed and ready I decided to record a second song written in the same key. Then, I tied the two sections together with a common string section. I recorded bass for the first part (a synth sound emulating a finger-picked analog bass), and then I recorded bass for the second song (a synth sound that's very gritty...with phaser added). I layered each song with similar elements, but they each have their own sound. The entire song has a variety of moods in a short amount of time (total run-time is under 6 minutes).
