[duhvoodooman***]

.....and I left the last break for somebody else.

Well, Spuds, Swede and Zeusse have done all the heavy lifting, so I just stuck an end on it, 'cuz it needed one....

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.

Yeah what Spuds said!! This was an excellent listen... You guys rock (Flicking his bic in the air).... hope to hear more soon..

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

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!

P.S. I am serious. If someone comes in to town on vacation or whatever, I will buy.

Its a long haul for me out your way I use travel through Idaho quite a bit years ago on my way to Vancouver. I will take you up on the offer if I ever make it out the way again. For recording I'm using a Digitech GNX4 usb. to the pc and Pro Tracks Plus for the software thats pretty much it, once in awhile I'll mic my Fender Twin Reverb through the GNX. Its pretty simple really.

Thanks Zeusse, and you are welcome any time to take me up on my offer. BTW, which guitar were you working on the track?

I used my customized Ibanez Roadstar 2 not excactly a blues guitar I probably should use my Strat or LP for the blues stuff. I have active pickups in the Ibanez so they are a bit too raunchy for the blues. I'll have things sorted out better for the next bit of blues I do

Sounds like we have a similar taste in coffee, I like to drink espresso....in a mug

Gear on this song: Schecter C1 Elite > Marshall GV2 > Tonelab > iMac.

DVM's Record-for-Cheap Set-up:

• Behringer XM8500 mic
• Sound card in my PC
• Audacity recording/editing software (free!)

Actually, I didn't even mic the amp, as I usually do. My wife was dozing on the family room couch Sunday afternoon, and I didn't want to disturb her. So instead, I recorded by running the headphone output of my AD30VT (which unfortunately is pre-tube/power stage) into the Line In jack on my sound card. I don't like what that does tonally, because it really scoops out the bottom and accentuates the highs. But since the backing track already had a "bottom", I didn't think it sounded that bad.

As far as the guitar & amp go, it was my Strat Plus played with the bridge & middle p'ups in series (one of the "Strat Lovers" wiring mods I did a while back), using the AC30TB model on my Vox AD30VT amp, with quite a bit of reverb, and juiced up with my ToneBone and Bad Monkey OD pedals in combination.
