Phil Collins - I Missed Again (Guitar Cover)

The Song:

"I Missed Again” is a song from Phil Collins's debut solo studio album, Face Value. It was the lead single from the album and is a "mid-tempo rocker that has R&B underpinnings, melodic pop keyboard and Collins' easily identifiable light tenor, Released on February 27, 1981 on Virgin Records.

"I Missed Again” is written in the key of Am with a relative major of C. I am a huge fan of the R&B tracks that Phil Collins brough us during the 80’s. I love Take a Look at me Now and this track. Just a wonderful guitar part that accompanies the track and while its not the key focus of the song it’s a perfect complement to the song and 100% additive. This one fits in the don’t overplay or overcomplicate songs, just play your part and contribute to a huge hit song. Kudos to Daryl Stuermer for the wonderful guitar parts on many of these Phil Collins songs.

The Video:

The process of final product you are seeing is as follows: I import the original track from iTunes into PreSonus Studio One, tempo map it in PreSonus Studio One, and record all the guitar part as close as I can get them to the original track.

I then buss the guitars to an effects track where I use a send for reverb. On the master I have a limiter, compression and EQ and I usually master in the same workspace. All the guitars are recorded through a Fractal Audio AXE FX III, I generally use the standard Fractal presets and tweak them a bit.
I record the video on my iPhone (with the lesser quality audio), import the video onto my MAC where I use DaVinci Resolve to edit the video and replace the iPhone audio with the studio quality audio from PreSonus Studio One.

The Equipment:

I recorded this track using a 2020 Fender Mod Shop Stratocaster, Fiesta Red, Fender American Professional Stratocaster Specs. I played all guitars directly into to a Fractal Audio FXIII and then into PreSonus Studio One.
