Tracking Arrangement Verse 1 -

Acoustic, G1*, P1 Very subtle, quick pad to bring in the song. I don’t want it to be as sudden of a start as original.

Chorus 1 - Concert bass drum roll starting three counts prior to chorus, crecendo into down beat of chorus. Tons of verb. Make it huge. - Acousitic, Bass, G2, P2 - G2 crecendo in starting three measures prior to chorus. In full throughout entire chorus 1. Turnaround 1 - Drums, Acoustic, Bass, G2, G3, P2 Verse 2 -

Drums, Acoustic, Bass, G4, P2

Chorus 2 - Drums, G5, G6, Bass, Acoustic, P2 Bridge 1 - Drums G5, G6, G7, Bass, Acoustic, P2 - G5 & G6 move from strumming on downbeat only to strumming on each beat (8th notes). Turnaround 2 - Acoustic, G8 Bridge 2 - Drums, Bass, G8, Acoustic, G5, G6 - Fade in G5 & G6 last two measures of bridge 2. Chorus 3 - All tracks, except lead vocal, cuts on the downbeat of chorus 3. Let all track’s verb carry and add a little “thingy” with a delay that hits only once on the downbeat and dies pretty quickly. Listen to measure 95 for reference. - Everything back in on downbeat of third measure of chorus 3. - Drums, G7, G5, G6, Bass, Acoustic, P2
