Today I uploaded an instrumental version of my latest track for What We Were Missing, entitled The Chase.

I came up with the background guitar part while taking a break from recording a different song. I like the new sound well enough to postpone the other one for later and focus on this one. By the time I’d worked out the bass and drum parts, I had something that had an urgent, surf guitar feel to it, like something from the soundtrack of a 70s car chase movie.

From there I began working on the guitar solo. I’d just picked up a couple new glass slides from my local music shop and decided to put them to use on this song. The solo came together pretty quickly, and I figured I could extend it and put out an instrumental version of the song while I worked on the vocals.

Now the instrumental is finished, the lyrics are written, and in the next few days I should have the vocal version done as well.
