Interview with Eduardo Marcolino (Eddie)
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I don't do anything without giving 100% to it. If I think something is not good enough, I will redo it.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been playing the guitar for more than 20 years, mostly doing original music.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: For guitar solos, I like to play with a "bluesy" feel, even if it's straight rock or pop songs. For rhythm, I like to get "funky" whenever possible.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: High level guitar playing, with a lot of feel. Tight, in tune, and with high quality sound.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Every album I've released with my instrumental band Anxtron, in which I record all guitars and also write many of the songs.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm always working on original music projects.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes, my friend Ronaldo Rodrigues, who is an insanely talented keyboardist.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Being able to express myself musically.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: "Can you do something like that?" (with a link) Usually it's a yes.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Some clients think I'm gonna guess the guitar arrangement they have in their minds. The more detailed explanations given, the better.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Do you have any song/artist references for what you want?
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: One acoustic guitar, one electric guitar, a multi-fx processor, a loop pedal, and an amp.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: All talented and passionate artists are always a pleasure to work with.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rock, pop, blues, and also electronic/EDM when guitars are needed.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Mark Knopfler, Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, Larry Carlton, Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Robben Ford, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson, John Mayer, Pat Metheny, Eddie Van Halen, and many more!
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Home studio with high quality electric guitars and effects that I run directly to my audio interface.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: If I had to choose one: digital, because of the great ammount of possibilities with not that many pieces of gear. Current technology allows us to sound awesome with digital effects. But I still use analog overdrive and distortion.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Find the best ones and hire them!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: If you think you can do better, it's still not good enough.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Melodic and emotional guitar solos.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First, I communicate with the client to know exactly what they want from me in terms of sound and arrangement. Then, I will listen to the track several times and play along, trying to find the best way to play each part. Finally, I actually record the guitar tracks a few times, meticulously choosing the best takes to send the client for approval.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Recording guitar solos and rhythm guitar tracks for songs or soundtracks.
