Wreck Me Baby
I made a blues backing track tonight. This one will be covered on my Blues DVD, or at least that is the plan right now. It will show how to play the 2 rhythm parts, as well as some lead ideas.
Please let me know what you think of the overall quality. I didn't spend much time on details such as great drum programming and dynamics. I figure as practice tunes, they might be okay like this.
What do you think?

Sound pretty good to me. But was there also bass on it?

Thanks, yes there is bass on it. Can't you hear it?
Is there overall volume too low?

Hi Robert,
The simplicity is blues-beautiful, the instruments sound fine, and it is a great platform to play from.
Yes, the bass could come up just a fraction (it's almost where it should be, but just a little more prominence would do the trick...it is so good!).
Your "Wreck Me Baby" is an excellent BT! Great job--and thanks!
PS The bonus "Rock Me In Texas" BT right after it is sweet too! I always did like "two for ones"!

Well, bass could be a little louder in the mix.Originally Posted by Robert

Yeah, let's use this backer and make a great collab! I personally think some organ would be a nice addition. A good old school sound. But it is Robert's backer, so I defer to him.

Yeah sure thing, but let me improve the drums a bit this one first.

Nice BT Robert! Thanks for sharing
You should turn up the bass a notch or two.
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 updated the track - increased the overall volume, cranked the bass a bit and added some drum fills and cymbals. Thoughts?

Hmm, my untrained ear leans toward the less bassey mix. I think the drum fills and cymbals sound nice. Just my honest .02. Thanks for working on it.

Feel free everyone to grab this one and record over it. A collaboration piece!
I can make it much longer if you guys want. Just tell me how minutes, and I'll just extend it.

Sounds great. Like the second version, but can't get it to come up in the usual boxnet display with the easy download click option.
We could do a collaboration with different people taking a slot. It's 4:25 now, maybe double that, and anyone who wants to take a one-minute or so slot?

I can make 8-10 minutes if you want. I'll let you guys know when it's been uploaded.
Oh by the way, my friend Myra (who is a great vocalist) is adding some vocals to this tune and we're making it into an original. I'll definitely try and make a bit more professional at that time, and less backing-tracky, so to speak....

You might want to wait to see if there's any interest in doing this sort of collab other than from me. If there isn't, people can just record over the shorter version.

Great backing track, but it's got too much guitar already IMHO. I tried to solo over it and the two rhythm guitars got in the way.
My suggestion is, if you want to turn into something more professional, you might consider replacing at least one of the guitars with an organ or piano or lose it completely, and turn the other one down, too.
Other than that, it sounds tight! I especially like the bass. Thank you for posting it!

It's not supposed to be something professional, just a practice track. I could of course upload a version where the main guitar theme (both guitars) is only for first 12 bars, then a bunch of bars with only the "back beat" rhythm guitar, and then end the whole thing again with the same 12 bars as the beginning. Would be more fun to solo over.
Thanks for the feedback Vihar!
