[Lachy]

laided back solo over the nice backing track swede posted. It goes a bit wrong at the end....

Nice tone and lots of space here. Sounds like no pick? Gear used? Good show!

[SuperSwede]

Hey that sounds great! Good job :)

[Spudman]

Sounds great Lachy.

[marnold]

Am I right in detecting a Mark Knopfler influence there? I liked it.

[Spudman]

Here is my interpretation of the same backing track

[SuperSwede]

Nice harmonies Spud, sounds great :R

[helliott]

And the award for cool use of multi-tracking goes to ...

So many different approaches, and all sounds really cool.

Nice to see people taking advantage of Swede's labours, even after the track's been around for a while. Thanks, Swede.

Just like the good old days when the fret.net was young, ah we used to play to backing tracks all the time.. http://www.collectibles-articles.com/antique/collectible-image-large/gibson-harp-guitar-player-unusual-early-1900s-photo_390262501803.jpg

Nice harmonies Spud, sounds great :R

Thanks SS. It was an experiment. It's something I hadn't tried before and I want to keep moving forward so I just had to give it a go. I probably wouldn't have done anything if it weren't for Lachy doing such a great job and bringing the track to my attention.

Nice work, both of you! I love it when a backing track gets some action!

[Lev]

Here's my take: http://www.box.net/shared/yf2ef55o62

It's funny I deliberately didn't listen to Lachy and Spuds take until I had finished mine. I think both myself and Lachy ended up with a very similar feel. Spud I love the harmonies, was that the M13's harmonizer effect? Sounds awsome!

[helliott]

Very nice take, Lev. Liked the double stops and dual note melody. Very pretty.

Really nice Lev. I just double tracked the harmonies. That's what I meant when I said it was something I hadn't tried before. I can sing harmony all day but I have a really hard time plying it on guitar. That was my challenge.

Even more impressive then!

That's a great take. I like when you stay in the bluespentatonic instead of following major pentatonic. Very cool! Extremely good sound. Thanks for sharing.

[SuperSwede]

Nice one Lev! Your clean sound fits the track perfectly!

If anyone missed it, do check out Helliots take on this backer in a earlier thread, love that Gibson ES sound :)

[helliott]

Swede's being typically modest. Mine's ok, but his on the same thread is better. He did something with the minor bit in the middle that is more effective than what I did. And given he also wrote the backer, it's worth giving him a listen and credit.

[Lachy]

Ah, what sweet tones, good job spud and lev, and the guys in the other post. Sorry I didn't see the previous post of this BT. I would have posted there to keep them all together, anyway my bad!

As for gear Helliot, I used my 45 yo strat copy and my beloved Vox VT50 on manual settings, and as I normally do I used a medium pick.

I've always loved Knopfler, so not surprised that comes thru a bit Marnold.
