Maggie May - HbGuitar

A classic(68-72) Stones vibe going on with this one. An obvious nod to "sympathy" with the BGV but the actual riff reminded me more of Monkey Man. So that's the kind of direction I went with this one - plus a little bit of Jack White slide guitar.

Main challenge was all the mic spill - Some of it was OK but the kick drum mic was picking up so much bass guitar and cymbals, getting a decent kick drum level without wallowing bass or smashing cymbals everywhere was tricky. A bit of lateral thinking with the EQ and I ended up using kick drum mic for both kick and bass levels and using bass track almost as a spot mic to give some attack.

Thanks for listening. Feedback welcome
