Reply With QuoteCool as always. But you need to turn the track up a little.
And yes the challenge is to keep idea rolling. Try thinking thematically instead of riffmatically.

Groovin' with Dolphinstreet
I finally got a few moments to hook up my Toneport for the first time to my MacBook Pro today. I haven't recorded anything for many months...
Here's a little groove I quickly jammed over:

Gets boring to play over the same thing over and over - more than 2 minutes on this and I start to run out of ideas...

Is my guitar low volume, or the whole track?
I never think it terms of riffs, actually. Still, when the track is one static part like this, it can be hard to find interesting ideas.

Nice track Robert!
The guitar could have been louder (and played through a real spankin plexi)
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

I find your guitar track flows perfectly into the backing track. Maybe volumes could be adjusted a little, but regarding playing, grooving and sound quality I give you 10 out of 10 points!

Thanks! So the guitar tone is good, eh? It's the Toneport with my Strat, using the Super Lead 100 model with the stompbox distortion model added for extra gain. Since I don't have the real thing, I have to simulate!

Tone and playing are awesome, as noted. Bit of boost on the lead track would help. Too bad that BT doesn't have a middle eight or something to change it up, it's a very cool groove. Your Strat at work here?

Thanks Helliot! Yes, it's the Strat with the Marshall Super Lead model in Gearbox. A bit of distortion stompbox modeling added in.

I've got to pay more attention to the individual sections and stay away from the 'most recent' button a bit. It's too easy to miss great threads like this one and all the others posted here.

Sounded great Robert it flows right in there. I hear the git on the left only maybe panning it to the right as well would bring it out enough, it don't need much. In my humble opinion of course
