Let's hear your version
We did something like this in another forum I frequent and it turned out to be lots of fun, so I thought it could be some fun here. This is a backing track I pulled off the Line 6 site. The idea is I played a solo over it now I want to hear everyone else's take on it that wants to contribute. Keep all entries in this post and I will keep them organized by who posted it so they wiil be easy to listen to all from one place. So get busy and lets hear it. Backing track is in A Major.
I used a GNX3 with the Solo preset, Squire Strat, and Sonar 8.5 with some miner EQ tweeks and add some reverb and comp on the master track.My solo track was panned right to about 56%

I get some time to fiddle with the DL an other computer related stuff with this I'll give it a try. But even with a lil confidense for me to sustain a 3 an a half min. jam, might be stretching it...
No pressure to do this. I thought it could be fun to see the different
takes that people would have on this with everyone’s difference in playing styles.
I find it exhausting to try and come up with things that even remotely sound original.
I thought this could be something that we could just all just pound out something to
without a great deal of thought. Just for the record, my definition of a musician is someone who gets paid to play. I my friend do not get paid. Hope you go ahead and give this a shot, because I like both kinds of music, good and bad. LOL
But...besides being a lame-@$$ blues player, I honestly don't think I could perform a worthy jam for 3+ minutes without sounding like the rank amateur I am. :oops:
I did consider d/l'g it and doing my usual \"\"fill it up with fun stuff\" treatment, but a straight-up blues jam doesn't really lend itself to that - it requires actual ability, which when it comes to straight-up blues, I don't have...sigh...no wonder Shania doesn't return my phone calls... :P
I'll leave up the links for a couple more days and then delete them
if the post get's no takers. Rawb, and Shred, thanks for your thoughts on this.
You're a lame blues player? :shock: How did you start out learning to play lead? Just about everyone I know started with blues in one form or another...
But when it comes to playing blues...well, I'm just not very inventive. I could see people rolling their eyes at my uncreative efforts... :oops:
Don't take it down.. :? I never said I wouldn't .. I said I would give it a shot , just can't get to it right off.. hehck embarrassing myself is my forte' :P
Count me in. I'll see if I can get something recorded/posted in the next few days.
Ok! Now we are getting somewhere. Thanks Iliace, Partch, Rawb, E.J, and Shred, I hope you go ahead and try. This is a forum devoted to guitar players, NO ?
I decided I should take a crack at this, in order to put forth the impression that there's a reason for me to be here.
I d/l'd the b/t to put on my Tascam...jammed with it a while and then did a coupla takes to see what came outta the wash.
Not so hot...by the time I was done, an appropriate title would've been \"SRV-wannabe Pentatonic Blues\". I could barely fill 12 bars, let alone 3-1/2 minutes :oops: Ridiculously unimpressive, so much so that I won't humiliate myself by posting it. There are so many easier ways to humiliate myself.
But I won't make any excuses, except for stating the obvious: RUSH doesn't play blues. So I never learned how. Maybe if I drank more. A LOT more. :P
Well I really want to play with a band now, what fun it is to sign and play a bluey song today.
Good for you man. Glad you posted. Feels good to get that out I'll bet. Also you jammed it out all the way. Nice one!
ones who tried to play something to this backing track. I had read several posts that members felt that this sight was dead, and this was my attempt to try to shake the trees to see what fell out. Maybe it was my choice of the type of backing track that was used, maybe it needed to be more rock influenced, but I thought any player could take a whack at some blues. At any rate 2 people out of all the people that frequent the songs forum to submit a post is indeed a sign of something, like maybe a lot of lurkers and not that many members hitting the song sights, or I am missing out on the next latest craze, where it’s more fun to talk about playing than to actually play. At any rate this was my total lame a$$ attempt to create some forum fun. I am not taking my ball and mitt and going home, just saying I am disappointed.
I honestly didn't mean to disappoint. Early next week is looking like a dim light at the end of a tunnel, so I'll record something Monday and post it on Tuesday.
Just got back this past Saturday and now playing catch-up at work, so hope to have some time next week to record some of the ideas I'd noodled around with shortly after you posted the track.
Life happens. Music is a hobby.

Thanks for adding your version to the collection. The vocal effect was cool.
