sounds great!! did you make this with real instruments or did you use a midi keyboard and do this on a DAW software? (sorry if this is a dumb question, i'm not a musician but would love to learn how to produce.)
I used some sort of keyboard that allows you to record I think 3 or 4 tracks. I essentially play each instrument (the guitar, the drums, the organ) one at a time. Every time I record a new instrument, the others play back to me in real time as I play. That's why the instruments are not perfectly on beat because, you know, human error by a slight second or so.
For some reason though, that keyboard did not allow you to record pitch sliding, so in that particular song, I played that instrument live as I recorded the song off my cellphone.
If you listen closely, you can hear the organ fluctuating. That's me wiggling the slider knob the whole time. Regrettably, I sold that keyboard some time later. Man, I miss that note sliding wheel it had.
