Here is one in C, there's some static in it, but it's still a good one.
Very nice bridge that works well with Robert's chromatic lesson, also sounds good w/ a quick Maj 7th chord or scale, where it goes to Dm-Em-D#m.
Of course, being blues, the pentatonic sounds good over it.
I really think anyone who digs that chromatic will like it over this,though.:D
I'm not doing a take on this one right now.
I thought of a couple of blues players on here I'd like to hear do a take, but I won't mention any names. ;) :cool:

Thanks for posting that great sounding backing track. I had a go at it earlier.

Here's a link to it if you'd like to hear it:

I used my PodXT and Ibanez RS140. Patch used was Bassman Crunch. I played with the neck single-coil. Slight delay and compression added to taste. Mixed and mastered in Tracktion.

Very tasty playing jg_nc! I enjoyed your take on the track, just wish you played a little longer.

Love this backing track to bits. Lots of fun to play over.

Sting, Justa, good job! Both you guys did a great job!:D
Hope some more fretters listen to this one, and maybe do their own take on it. It just caught my ear when I heard it, thought it was good for blues.

Edit: I reposted these with reverb. What a difference. Space - the final, um...

My reverb vanished on mixdown for some reason. If I can figure it out I'll re-post these. Otherwise, here is my plain toast version. Take 4.

I still can't figure out why I'm loosing the reverb, but here is the first take I did. I actually like the interplay with the piano better on this one.

I listened to about 8 bars of it to figure out tempo and key and then pushed record.

And here is take 3. A little spunkier.

I scratched on take 2.

Spud,

I liked your first take in particular. Do you have to listen to the BT a few times through to get the feel for it, or do you just go ahead and play?

Thanks.

I've been finding that the less I listen to the BT before I record - the fresher sounding my first take is. I usually listen to maybe 20 seconds of the BT to get the key and feel and then I just go for it. Usually by the second chorus or verse I can play more ahead of the changes instead of just reacting to them. It makes it sound a little more like I know what I'm doing. Fake it till ya make it I guess.

Thanks oldguy for posting this one, I can't wait to play around with it. I probably won't post anything for a while, I will have to work on it for a while.

Nice work guys on the takes!!

Nice playing everyone..

Spud, I thought that the first one was best too.. very nice BBesque and very SPUDdy tone (?!)

I took a stab at it. This is kind of the way I imagined the tune sounding, with the chromatic lick of Roberts and the Maj7 tossed in somewhere. And yes, that noodling from around 3:20 to 3:50 was left on there intentionally. Oh, well:rolleyes:

Smashing oldguy! That was first rate. You've done this type of stuff before haven't you?;)

That was just excellent. I listened thru each take, what a blueslicious smörgåsbord. In fact, I'm goin back for seconds.

I know what ya mean about the BT... it just calls you to play over it... and every time I come with something different yet the same..lol

here is a longer clip...with Strat to BD-2 with no gain (clean boost?) to mild delay to Crate Powerblock with a little gain... well..its they way I liked it..lol

Real nice, Justaguy... good and bluesy.:)
Much better on the second time around. I think you've improved big in the past few months... looking forward to hearing some more.;)
