    Default Backing Tracks in A

    Wondered if someone could use these for practice/instructional purposes. One is slower than the other, and they might be useful to help learn scales and such. Along with Dolphinstreet's lessons they could be useful and fun.

    Here's another that sounds like somebody, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe an 80's hard rock band?

    This one's kinda long, but has a nice synth and drum groove to it. Let's hear some of you Fretter's get some clips posted w/ these, I know you got the talent for it.

    Ok. I took the shuffle in A and added a rhythm guitar track and did some lead until about bar 30 something.

    Here's what we'll try.

    The next person that can get on it can take up where I left off and do the next verse and chorus. Someone else can do something after that. We'll be doing a little collaborating kind of like it's open mic night and whoever is on the stage gets a round to do their stuff.

    The next person to lay down a part has to put up a link to their file or somehow make their version accessible so the next person can do their thing. The box.net seems to be a great place to store and collect your files for free. It's easy to use with a PLAY or DOWNLOAD option.

    Here is my part. Let me know if you can't get the file.

    Great jam you guys I hope you didn't mind I was at home and decided to give it a quick go and I left the last break for somebody else. I'm kinda rusty on my blues as you'll see

    Great job Sewede and Zeusse. Awesome playing. I felt like I was on stage waiting for the waitress to bring another round for the band.

    Whoo hoo! That was hands down, Katie bar the door, hang on, the best track I have listened to so far. 3 different tones and styles and you all play excellent. I felt like I was at the end of an all day concert when all the notables get together and jam that last song.

    Great job everybody.(insert clapping smiley) Now that we know how to do it we can jam more often and everyone with the ability to record can contribute. Awesome!

    For those who didn't try anything yet on this...you can easily go back and download the same track at any stage in this process and add your own part to it.

    I admit that I screwed up and didn't provide just the rhythm track that I added without the lead. Sorry. I think that would be crucial to giving everyone a chance to play. Next time we post a backing track and lay just a rhythm over it we should be sure to make just that track available as well so that a person can start playing from anywhere on the track. Deal?

    Clap, clap, clap. Nice job gents. Beer is on Steve from Sun Valley.

    Great stuff there Voodooman glad you had enough left to squeeze in some riffs...I got a tone of backers that are split up nicely to make 4 and 5 equal spots like that one I even got a couple that are 6 spottters...and if anybody is interested in a colab. project on something I'm always up for it doesn't matter who the artist or backer is. I've always enjoyed community jams it's great to hear all the different styles on tones...mind you I gotta get a blues tone organized

    Great playing guys! This one is going on my iPod for future listening. If this is a small example of what the Fret Net CD will sound like, I can wait for it to be completed.

    The only trouble I am having with this compiling of several musicians on one song is ... how in the heck did you do it? I cannot figure it out. I am working with Audacity, but can not figure out how the three of you guys did what you did.

    Modelers: V-AMP 2, Digitech RP-100A.

    Pedals: Boss RC-2 Loop Station, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, Digitech Bad Monkey, Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo, DOD VFX40B 7-Band Graphic EQ, Ibanez CS-5 Super Chorus.

    Easy, really. After Oldguy recorded the backing track and uploaded it, each of us (I assume!) just did the following:

    1. Download the MP3
    2. Import into recording software
    3. Dub in the new part
    4. Export to MP3
    5. Upload to Box.net
    6. Repeat as needed

    Yes its very easy. I import the mp3 file as a stereo track, and then add another stereo track for the guitar that merges with the first when exported as AIFF. After that I convert it to MP3 (usually 160kb/s)

    LOL!! If you guys come over to play, I'll buy at least the first pitcher! Seriously, I was listening on the way up to work to the project after DVM added in, and I couldn't stop re-playing the song. Could each contributor please share the equipment used and settings involved? It just rocked! I am now committed to playing thousands of scales so I can get comfortable enough to play some of those licks. Thanks guys, the beers on me. Hope you like it like I like my coffee, strong and dark!
