I'm continuing to work on using our new AEA R84A Active Ribbon Mic, and I jammed a quick 3 chorus version of "My Blue Heaven" while my family was out of the house. I used the intro from the classic 1940 Artie Shaw and his Gramercy Five recording (an arrangement my Campus Five plays regularly), and quickly dashed out a rhythm guitar track to blow over.
Both the rhythm and lead tracks were captured with the mic positioned as you see it, in front of my 1932 Gibson L-5. There's no additional EQ, save for a HPF at 100hz, and only some vintage-style compression and touch of extra room sound added.
This style of Chord-melody playing and soloing is my own version of the playing of Allan Reuss, who played with Benny Goodman from 1935-1938 before going onto play with many of the best big bands and combos of the 30's and 40's, before settling into studio work in the late 40's. While there's scant resources for this style of playing, the THIRD volume of my DC-Music School Course is one of best places to start. It contains transcriptions of my improvisations in the Reuss-style over standard tunes, using all of the classic Reuss vocabulary and techniques.
Get it, and the other 2 volumes (mostly CC-style single note playing) at DC-Musicschool.com
