Guitarist BRUCE KULICK (GRAND FUNK RAILROAD, ex-KISS, UNION), has issued the ninth installment of his studio blog update:

"Day 9: July 13, 2007...

We picked up where I left off on that song 'What Did I Say' by finishing off some harmony lines and then doubling the main riff. The hardest part was finding the right guitar for the job. We settled on the ES 345 SV, which stands for Stereo Varitone. I have a special cable to make it mono. We didn't get fancy with it; it was the proper guitar for the double of the Les Paul. Next up were some harmony lines and we chose the SG Reissue from Gibson, that really has it own ripping sound. We switched to the Marshall set up for that.

Jeremy, who was really pushing me to do the solo, got his wish. I am always so reluctant to do them to be honest. I remembered the solo on the demo, although not by heart. I figured it out pretty quickly and the Marshall and the Boss SD 1 with an analog delay pedal did the trick for the big guitar sound. Guitar wise, I was very happy to say it was the Gibson 58 Reissue that I just got a few days ago. It really had an amazing sound, and I am proud to have it in my guitar arsenal.

We did some harmony parts to the solo at the end with the '53 Les Paul. It was exciting to hear all the lines in that song done. When you all hear the music you will see what I mean. Jeremy and I really worked hard on making these lines a real lift in the tune. And his symphonic brain came up with some unusual harmonies, which I always love to capture and interpret for him. That is what a good producer does.

The sun setting gave me a chance to get this pic with Joe in my car. He really is enjoying the studio and that is a relief for me. I hate when he is uncomfortable, but remember he is the one and only AUDIODOG!"
