Happy New Year!! This is my second winter song for the season. I recently played Undertale for the first time on stream about a month ago, and was blown away by how fun, wholesome, cute, and hilarious it is. The soundtrack was also phenomenal, and this song in particular was one of the ones that stuck with me a lot after playing. Plus, it was on theme, so I just had to do it! :p

I started out wanting to do an arrangement that stuck to a much lighter, acoustic feel, but eventually I caved and allowed this one to build and build into my usual heavier territory. I was conscience to keep it fairly simple and slow still, despite getting much heavier and louder towards the end. I also experimented with re-harmonizing some of the chords in the 2nd and 3rd repetition of the song, and it seemed to work really well! It gave the 2nd repetition a cool jazzy feel, while the heavy repetition sounded a lot darker and evil sounding. Totally the opposite of the original song haha.

I've been fighting with my lead guitar tone of my JP100 a lot, trying to get rid of the harshness, especially in the highest register of the guitar. I've come to the conclusion that it's probably my pickups, or just the way I'm recording it. I currently run my guitars (besides acoustic and bass) through my Boss OS-2 pedal into my interface, which then goes to AmpliTube 4. I might have to record it a bit louder, as the harshness kind of sounds like the sound is being hard limited in a sense. If it's my pickups, I'm not sure what to do besides get better ones lol. Or maybe lower them away from the strings a bit. Any suggestions are welcome as I want to continually improve my sound!
