Some very, very fine playing from all the contributors. The running order is:

0:05 Bassface7

1:35 The Tiggs

3:06 Old Swanner

4:36 Skyline Band (with bass from Davebass)

6:06 Stickyfiddle (with bass from Davebass)

7:37 english_bob (with bass from english_bob )


Apologies to Not the DJ, who also submitted a track, but didn't reply to my PM about how Cubase wouldn't import an m4a file, so sadly couldn't be included in the final mixdown- sorry Col! Sorry to others who wanted to contribute and didn't get in before the deadline- next time!!

Must do this again some time.

Very interesting! \:\)

Special thanks to English Bob for making the backing track and doing the final mix.

EDIT: For future reference, this site is handy for the odd file conversion, and claims to be able to handle .m4a files.

Oops. Didn't see the PM (been on Holiday for a couple of weeks and didn't seem to get an e-mail saying I had a PM, must check my forum settings).

Never mind though. Looking forward to hearing the finished result when I get home tonight.

Brilliant! I particularly liked english_bob's contribution but guys, are you trying to demoralise me or what?!!!

It's surprising how little "technique" you need to sound good over a simple progression if you know how to apply it.

Most of the solos this time round were fairly simple and relied on space and good note choices to sound good- all about playing the right note over the right chord.

Did you try playing over the backing track? You might surprise yourself

Your comment made me want to have a go. However, funky stuff is not my style so I recorded 16 bars of drums, bass and organ in Em at 85bpm and added three simple guitar lines. You're all going to p*ss yourself laughing but hey, it's the first time I've recorded myself playing (for want of a better word) the guitar. It's improvised and rather repetitive but there you are. Should I persevere or just give up?

It's here !

PS. I connected the Line Out of the Marshall to the Mic input of my Terratec sound card rather than mic the amp. I tried a Line input but the signal was too weak and if I'd turned the amp up, I'd have had the Environmental Health Officer knocking on my door!

Persevere. Definitely. I say this wearing my composer's hat: you have some good musical ideas.

Wearing my producer's hat I can tell you that your timing is a lot better than many guitarists, and I would be very happy to get tracks like that to work on! Usually the first thing I have to do with guitar tracks is correct the timing errors.

Dave
