The ninth song released in my home studio demo series and I think I am the most excited about this song. The reason is in the way the song came together all on it's own. I was working on another song when I stumbled upon the main guitar riff for "Beautifully Inked". I liked the riff so I stayed with it and the next thing I know I was playing the chorus. And though it was a different hook and feel from the main guitar riff the two blended well together. So I stopped what I was doing and started to work on the drum line. The first thing I came up with for both guitar lines worked perfectly. Normally the drums take me more than several tries to get the right but on this one the drums were born on the first try. It was going so well that I decided to record it. I recorded the drums and two guitars in less than 30 minutes. I then grabbed the bass and played along with the song once and recorded the bass on the second. I ended up recording it from beginning to end in one take. I then spent some time playing with different ideas on the lead guitar lines and picked the ones that really stood out. I had the whole song recorded in under three hours. Most songs take me at least six to eight hours to record. It was almost like the song was born instead of being written.
