The instrumentation for “Campfire Song” came about over a period of writing the album. This is the first songs I wrote for the album and when I started I only had a melody and chord progression. At this point I laid down the acoustic tracks, a melody track, some bass, and drums. Then I started working on the other songs. As I started to fill in the guitar parts for the other songs I would come back to “Campfire Song” and fill in a guitar part. Eventually I ended up with 4 electric guitar tracks, 2 acoustic guitar tracks, a dobro, tremolo guitar, a couple slide guitars, bass, drums, and vocals with harmonies. It was a lot of fun taking the instrumentation from other songs and bringing them in on “Campfire Song”.
