For us it’s a punt and you never know when and where it might get used or how much money you might make. People and organisations who need it buy it ‘off the shelf.’ A lot of pro musicians and composers will write a library track if there is no commission or project on the current table.
(For anyone who doesn’t know, library music is what you hear on a lot of TV and radio programs, adverts, corporate events blah blah blah. The MP3 is a library track in the style of Fleetwood Mac’s Albatross. There’s a PDF of the article here and an MP3. You can catch Joe Bonamassa playing some great slide with one of these guitars if you go to Youtube and search for The River. Whilst pitched at slide guitarists it’s actually very versatile and in the article I promised to record some stuff and put it here on the blog.
I recently did a review of the Chandler Lectraslide guitar for Music Maker magazine.
