Update - Now With Pictures

I now have the guitars done for one more song. About a week and half ago, I sat down and recorded the acoustic guitar tracks. Three of them. Here's what I did: I plugged the guitar pickup into one input, I placed a mic close up to where the neck meets the body and made that the second input, and then I put a room mic about six feet up and pointed it straight down at the guitar for the third input. The great thing about this configuration is that I now have three tracks of acoustic guitar to either blend together or discard as I choose to get a sound I like, and I only had to record them once.

The following weekend I sat down and recorded the electric guitar parts for the song, four of them. So yeah, now there are seven tracks of guitar going on in this song right now. But to be fair, they're layered. The four electric parts are as follows: 1) Clean electric that plays throughout the entire song (but will disappear into the mix later in the song, 2) A crunch rhythm guitar that shows up in the second chorus and plays through to the end, 3) A "solo" that I would more call a lead break, and that shows up twice, and 4) A brief slide part that shows up only in the second verse (although I did record it for the first verse as well, I don't think I'm going to use it there.)
And I may say that the slide part gives is one of those parts that gives me the musical boner. You musicians know what I'm talking about: those parts that you write and when you hear it, you just say, "Yeah!" One of those.

And now for some pictures:
