New fret.net jam over Robert's slow blues backer

[sunvalleylaw]

Ok, here is mine, and I added a couple more loops of the backer. I come in after Lev at 11:43.

Mine was an experiment. I was trying to break out of my normal pentatonic wank, and basically stole some lines and ideas from a famous jazz horn player (I am interested if anyone guesses the song and artist.), and tried for a Dorian oriented feel. I obviously have not been playing a lot of lead lines in blues lately. Lots of big shoes were ahead of me in line. But what the hey?! I may record another take tomorrow, . . . but in the meantime here it is, lumps and all! Who's next?

Oh yeah, gear . . . Hagstrom Viking into DVM's Rabid Rodent set to Red LED Overdrive setting, distortion set at 9:30, filter just north of neutral to add a little bite, a little bit of '63 spring verb out of the M9, into my Fender Concert mic'd with my SM57 into the Toneport UX2, Gearbox and Garageband, no effects applied in either.'


EDIT: I hear upon listening today that I was a bit tentative as I got into the licks. I may keep working on this idea and see if I can't smooth it out. but the experiments that are not completely successful teach you as much or more than those that come out just as you expect right away. Play on!

All of y'all sound great!

I gotta give you props for stepping outside your comfort zone, SVL.

Thanks Kat. I transposed the horn lines from a different key, and had to make them fit a different rhythm/tempo/feel from the original song, but it made me try something a bit different anyway. I am going to keep working on the idea and see if it develops. Ok, whose next? Kat, got anytime to rip something this weekend?

I might try to slip a solo in tomorrow (or is it later today?), on a study break. The part I need is super cheap (pennies, really). Then it's just a matter of figuring out the amph software, and reloading Audacity.
