Here is a cool funky backer to play around with.

We can either split it up and collaborate or do the whole thing as a solo.

While you are thinking about what you'd like to do you can listen to my take which is once through with a rhythm guitar and then one take with a solo. It would be a good track to put some polish on though. However, I'm impulsive. :D

Hey Spud,

I made one take on the first 50 seconds approx.

Have some problems with my recording program so that imported drums sound horrible.

To get an idea where it starts (actually the beginning of the song) listen to this:

Get the solo standalone here:

Hopefully, you can add the solo to your file.

Look forward to hearing other fretters takes to complete this excellent track.

That was GREAT Jimi! Thanks for that. It was fun to listen to it as a stand alone solo too. Gives an idea about the space involved and some thoughts about timing. Cool!

Good backer Spud. I really enjoyed listening to both yours and Jimi's playing as well. You both have great tone and some very interesting phrasing. Hopefully I will get some time this week to lay down a version of my own. Thanks for the backer and the inspiration!

Yeah, why don't you put the next 50 seconds after mine so we make it a cool collaboration.

Maybe Spud can mix the three takes together.

Sounds like a good project for this weekend for me. Will give it a try.

You get it to work? Not sure if it's just linking through for me because I'm a member - that box thingy tried to make me pay, thus i rejected it.

Man, I shouldn't play when I've had booze, think I might've been going for the Prince stylee tone. How very 80's.

Yes, but then, perhaps, you'd hardly ever play ;).

What a groove! The vibe reminds me a wee bit of the Barney Miller theme song which I always thought was awesome.

I tried to come up with some lines to play over this before I listened to everyone else's take. I have to say I'm really impressed which each and every clip that was posted. :master:

I really need to work on my improv skills. However, this is something that can be worked on, and I plan to. That doesn't mean that I won't have fun for the rest of the morning/day/week noodling over this track trying my best to create and improve my skills.

Thanks for inspiring me today. Now I'm feeling good :AOK:

Very much appreciated...

Thanks for the backing track. Here's my crack at it, with lots of slop and goofs in it but it was fun...

Well I played around with Audacity a bit tonight and figured a few things out.
http://www.box.net/shared/9vukz1wkkw

I used the Nash Tele Neck P/U through the Gearbox preset 'Lux Verb Chorus amp model.

I love this groove Spudman put up here. I'm hoping I can continue to play around with it and improve.

Cheers :beer:

Thanks very much Steve/Steve!

There's always a huge differential from what I hear in my head, from what I can actually play on the guitar.., but that's is what is so motivating!

I know I have limited improve skills, but I can feel the riff's deep down in me.

Again, thanks for posting an awesome track that inspired me to post my very first Fret recording!

Truly appreciated...

Hey!

This is deja vu all over again! :D

What I mean is... I've already done a take on this very BT a while ago already! :D

Nevertheless, thanks for bringing this back, it is a great BT!!

And here is my take from way back:

http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php?t=3169

I only listened to Spud's take, really great! :AOK: Going to listen to the others now, meanwhile listen to mine and please be gentle... ;)

P.S.: I notice that the recording is clipping quite a bit, sorry for that... it was one take and without much attention to detail, unfortunately...

Hey, really great riffs! I like your feel and disagree that you have "limited improvisation skills"!

Good takes all you guys! I have heard this backing before. I think I have it on my computer too. I guess I should get my fanny in gear and add my wanking too... ?

I have funk love affair, so I get all excited listening to this kinda stuff. Good job all you! :AOK:

Man, all you guys sound great on this cool BT. Algonquin, yours has a Stanley Jordan sort of vibe and I like the repeated melody structures that change every few bars.
Good work everyone. I may take a stab at this too.

April 18th, 2008, 01:42 PM
I did take a run at this cool BT. Reminds me of the way I used to play Dave Mason's Feelin' Alright many moons ago, so I threw some of that structure and feel into it.
