A very l-o-n-g blues backing track in G

[stingx]

I just finished this one. It's 13 minutes long and perfect for those that like to do extended jams or for collaborations of several people. I used some of my favorite soundfonts on this. I'm particularly fond of the piano. Enjoy!

Nice tinkling of the ivories there. This one is going to be fun for sure.

[Moshe]

Sting who is the cool looking guy in your avatar? ;)

[duhvoodooman]

Looks like KEEF to me! Like about a hundred years ago.....

[Hogfullofblues]

Oh oh. I added my poorly played minutes worth, but then the track exceeded 10mb and mybox said no no. Gotta pay to upload over 10mb. Oh well. Something to remember for next time....

Nicely done. I like your playing style.

[Spudman]

I had to chop a couple minutes off this to get it under 10 mb so that Box.net would take it. 10 mb is their free limit per file. It is now 10 minutes 20 with a fade starting at 10. With my part added it is 8.3 mb. It may need to be shortened again to get more people on it.

I went until 2:45

Nice job Spudman!

I listened to it in the car on the way to work yesterday....Cranked it to 11.

Who's next??

[oldguy]

I took a shot at it. 2:45-3:55, half acoustic, half electric. It's now at 9.4mb.

[Spudman]

Great job oldguy. Wow, this is turning into one cool track.

[oldguy]

Thanks, Spuds, I liked your take on it also. As well as Moshe's. Kudos to Sting for putting this one up! Hope Hogfulloblues will give it another shot, too. Hog's got some good sounds!:D We can always trim it down again if need be.
BTW, Spuds,
When are we going to get to hear that Mace?:R

Oh I didn't buy it to actually play it. ;) It's far to valuable for that. lmao

[duhvoodooman]

Okey-doke, I tacked on about another minute. It's out to just about 5 min. now and 9.5MB....

[oldguy]

GOOD, Voodooman! Really clean, too! Kick it' Bro! What'd you use to record with?

[Spudman]

Oh ya! Nice job. This is coming out to be a smokin track. Can anyone drop an accordian solo in by chance? :)

[oldguy]

Nope, but I got a set of spoons (as soon as I get the dishes washed).:confused:

[duhvoodooman]

Thanks, OG. Played on my Strat, using the middle & bridge p'ups in series; this has become my favorite Strat tone since adding this pickup combo through the "Strat Lover's" wiring mod detailed HERE (http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php?t=1365). Played through my Vox AD30VT, Tweed 4x10 plus reverb. Tone is overdriven with a combo of my Radial ToneBone and Bad Monkey pedals. Mic'ed the amp (Behringer XM8500 mic) directly into my PC's sound card and recorded over the backing track with Audacity.

I'm working on a different slow blues backing track using the same Strat set-up, but with no OD pedals and using the Boutique CL amp model. This should give a very clean and unadorned rendering of this middle/bridge-in-series pickup combo that I've grown to love so much. Should hopefully have it finished and posted by the weekend, at the latest....

[oldguy]

Thanks, DVM, I'll be watching (listening) for it.

[M29]

Thanks stingx for offering this to us, I will have some fun with this one! Don't know what good I will do with it but it will be fun for sure.

Great job all!!

M29

[zeusse]

This is sounding awesome guys just fabulous playing by all you guys I can throw a lick in after M29 if you want....Big kudo's to Sting X for this class track:)

[stingx]

Save the last dance...err...spot for me!

http://www.box.net/public/5d832e488t

Oh yeah. Very, very nice!

Kudos to all who added to this thus far. I didn't think this would snowball like it has.

[Hogfullofblues]

Hmmm....
I finally went ahead an added my minutes worth, then lopped a minute off the end. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. Well, anyway, there is still plenty of room to record on and its only about 8.5 now. Hopefully that will be about right once the rest is filled, but whoever's last will need to fade it out.
Lots of great playin on there! I don't mind sayin it was a bit intimidaing to follow all that, but thats just a testiment to all the skill and talent around here.

Sweet job guys, can't wait to hear the next edition.

Oooo, that 'splains why he looks like he is about a hundred years old.

& I thought it was the heroin. :D

[M29]

Hello,

I am sorry if I have help up this thread, I planned to play on it for my self for a long time and just realised I may be holding some up. Anyone please go ahead, I will be a long while before I can put anything of value to this. I'm having the time of my life with it, what a great feel for jammin!!

Thanks again stingx

M29

[duhvoodooman]

Don't worry about it, M!! We were all too busy arguing about tone and how much you have to pay for it over at the General Guitar Talk forum to add to it anyway.... ;) :D

[M29]

I forgot to say what a great job you all are doing on this, great job all!!!

M29

[oldguy]

No worries, M!
Besides, you can always go back to the first post on this thread and start it all over again! :DR
Glenn

[Hogfullofblues]

Right on OG. These tracks can be recycled! I didn't mean it to sound like I was being held up, I'm just slow.

[stingx]

Here's my take on the backing.

Used my Ibanez RS140, Micocube, and Dunlop Crybaby.
Recorded and mixed with my Zoom MRS-8.

Great stuff here. I missed it until now. Anyone wants to do another round, I'd love to join in.

[stingx]

The ending is still open. Fill the rest of the track up and post it back. :beer:

Then take the original backer and fill 'er up again. :beer:

[helliott]

Great. Sounds like a good project for New Years Day!

[Robert]

Here's my take at the end. Using my Fender Strat with the Line 6 UX1 and Gearbox. Amp model was the Soldano SLO-100 with a Distortion pedal added.

FretNet Jam with Robert at the end. (http://www.box.net/shared/static/rerhcd9w8w.mp3)

I hate hearing myself play! :(

[SuperSwede]

Good job Robert!

Here is my take, I just had to record something since I finally bought a new 9v adapter for my GT2. I love this pedal :)

Nice job SS, tasty licks and sweet tone.

[Justaguyin_nc]

Great job Robert.. Might sound funny, but it is inspiring hearing someone that plays so well.. to hate hearing themselves.. Enjoyed it!!

SS!! You got it started again.. in a great way.. loved the Tech gt2... as always...some sweet playing and sounds!
