After Brett and I finished up the rhythm tracks for both the songs (so far), Aref and Shahin took their turn at laying down the melody tracks.
Waiting For Rain went pretty well. Shahin got his track in one, while Aref retracked his solo.
Soho was another story. The opening of the song has both Aref and Shahin playing on their own for four measures. That's a long time for the two of them to keep on meter without having any other instrumentation to try and help them out. We spent quite a few takes trying to get them to come in at the right place. After a while, we figured out that the count we used at the outset was different than what we used when got four bars into the tune (which might give you an insight into how off tempo two melody players can get in a short period of time). Instead of being four even beats, it was more like 3.75 beats. After about three or four tries, we had something that was good enough, and we broke for dinner.
