Congrats Adam Lambert!


I'm heading home today after a week in Ibiza. More about this trip on tomorrow's blog, but in the meantime I would like to congratulate Adam Lambert on his first number one Billboard Album Chart entry.

I played on "Shady" and we had a lot of fun doing it. Below I'm posting videos from our session together.

Wishing you many more to come... Congrats Adam Lambert!


 


NRP meets RCA & MTV before hearing "SHADY"


The first time I heard the chorus of "SHADY" - I always work on the chorus first


Figuring out the song form of "SHADY"


Hearing the "SHADY" intro for the first time


At this point I've played "SHADY" at least 20 different ways and now I was just jamming


I explain to Adam after just meeting him why I played these first ideas before I got a chance to hear his ideas


Playing different ideas over Sam Sparro's bridge


At his point we'd gotten the song down, then I played a pedal part so they can fade it in & out

Wow.. This is hard...


Ha ha!
