    Default My First Backing Track

    Hey everyone. Here is my first backing track. I used a drum loop but the 'bass' part and rhythm part is my Peavey. I say 'bass' part because I used a custom preset on my Mustang amp for a Fender Bassman with only a little gain and not much treble. It came out sounding somewhat like a bass.

    I guess I'd call the style funk?

    Comments appreciated.

    Thanks Monkus.

    I uploaded a new version; cleaned up the guitar part and changed it a bit.

    Thanks for the comments, guys. I'll have to see if I can muster up some sort of solo to play against it.

    Although the chord progression's 3rd chord is a bit too obvious a choice IMO, this sure sounds cool. Should be good to solo over, and also makes for a good vocal backing in the vein of Jane's Addiction maybe or some obscure Pearl Jam song or something. Good work! Should you change the last chord for something more unexpected/uncommon, it could be more than good.

    Good point, deeaa. After listening to it a bit, I agree that section does sound a tad average.

    I'll stick it in the back of my mind to percolate and see if anything bubbles up.
