swede's cool bt with melody
Swede posted this in the bt section, and loved it when I heard it. Reminds me of a one of those high school dance tunes when the guys danced too close. Or else a west coast crime movie from the 80s. Anyway, added a quick melody -- anyone interested in using it to start a new collab?
I used my ES339 through a new amp, Traynor Darkhorse. Great small amp for low wattage use at home and real small rooms out. Nice speaker with removable back panel, -- 12 inch celestian greenback.

You came up with a really nice melody Helliot! Love the tone too!
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Here is my take on this backer... it should be called "who´s afraid of the big bad delay"...
Its kinda sloppy but I think that the middle rhythm part became quite nice!
Anyhow, this is strat>blackstar HT-drive>Garageband(plus delay! and reverb).

Really nice SS. Great tone and restraint. I really like your approach.

Agree with moderator Spud on this. Lovely tone, lots of room. And the rhythm solo part over the minor transition is really nice. Also you got yours down in the mix just right so it doesn't overwhelm the BT, whereas mine was too far out in front. Super job Swede!

Thanks all. I'm with Swede -- who else will get in on this. It's short and catchy, and wide open to make your own. C'mon down!

I think some fretless bass in there would sound nice.Originally Posted by SuperSwede

If I wanted to put a bassline in it, how would I accomplish that?

Load up the backing track in your recording software, add another track and then play along (dont forget to press record)

You did a very impressive job of generating a very nice melody and using it to great effect repeatedly yet not sounding repetitive. I really should work on keeping up leads that way, so they'd be interesting without going to a gazillion directions and tricks within seconds even. One gripe though, it sounds slightly off-tune though at times to me...is the guitar intonation quite accurate? Even so, good work.

Heh.. well the strat needs a visit to my luthier since the frets are so uneven. So I havent bothered with the intonation for a while.

Actually I was referring to Helliot's take...my bad, shoulda quoted. I actually missed yours completely, the link was so close to a picture. But, great work there too, and very refined-stylish sound.

Yeah, unfortunately I don't have recording software. My setup is quite primitive and consists of a Korg D4 4-track digital recorder.Load up the backing track in your recording software, add another track and then play along (dont forget to press record
About the best I could do is to run a 1/8-inch line into the second input of the recorder from my computer and then run my bass into the other channel to try to combine them. It would sound a bit cheesy, but might get the idea across at least.

My cousin's strat had such worn frets that you couldn't even for chords anymore without it sounding horrible. I'd definitely recommend a fret job for it.
