a little tune to solo over - Page 3

getbent · October 19th, 2007, 02:54 PM

you know in your post about microphone's I started to say some other stuff, but I'm trying to just 'answer the question' than 'upsell' into a bunch of stuff... but... if you are mostly recording guitar and a little vocals... I'd buy a tone port and buy a shure sm57 that will allow for an xlr to 1/4 cable for when you need to sing... you can scam your way to the 70.00 for the toneport out of lunch money... then add the mic when you need it.

If you end up playing in a band you can repurpose the 57 and get more use out of it. in the meantime the toneport will give you everything you need.

There will be other opinions that would work, but you'll get useful sounds out of what I'm suggesting... otherwise the snowball is a good usb mic.

Getbent,

Thank you for posting the backing tracks, great stuff. One forgets how much more fun it is to play with a band compared to playing solos by yourself.

leftyjay, your solo on the first country track posted blew me away. Great stuff. Surely you are a professional player?

Just discovered this part of the tdpri a few days ago and I cannot believe the quality of everything I have heard. Really inspiring especially the solo Jazz stuff.

Thanks again getbent!

Jake

Just a footnote leftyjay,

Every consider transcribing that solo you played over getbent's country backing track. Just getting into Jazz and country out of a heavier blues and metal style. IT goes without saying soloing over changes is much more complex than just playing pentatonic or harmonic minor stuff. I wonder how many of us would be grateful to have that solo written out to learn from?

Just a thought-- Where can one find a good country solo written out in Tab to learn from? Someone once said to play music well one must first imitate, then assimilate and then innovate.

Get one of Terry Downs videos. They are great and hard and I am still working through some of the solos (my fingers are dumber than crap sometimes)

Glad you like the jams... they are fun to do and I have some new ones coming!

Texsunburst59 · October 24th, 2007, 01:33 AM

Geez Getbent, I just went through the whole thread and didn't realize you had posted that many backing tracks. Man I'll have a NICE collection of BT to jam to thanks to you. Anyway It might be a little late,but here's my take on You're very first backing track you posted. Here's the link and THANKS again.

Gabba-Billy! it may be a little corny...

Get your spaghetti western groove on Olive Garden

just some more fun with garageband and learning to 'normalize' I did some panning on these too. These don't sound that great on my laptop speakers...but I like how they sound in headphones and on a stereo....

Nice job Texasunburst! I gotta save a little getus and call your buddy about that vibrolux! That is what Santa should get me!

Hey thanks Getbent. My buddy can make you a PTP repro if that's what you're talking about. Right now he's got a Blonde PTP Repro Deluxe Reverb you could talk to him about. Let me know, and I'll get you in touch with him.

getbent · October 25th, 2007, 09:29 PM

woo hoo getting close to buying a new control surface and MELODYNE! fake as Dolly's tetas! in the words of Maxwell Smart "and.... loving it."

TSB, santa is on the horizon... I know I gotta have a repro vibrolux... it is the 'last' amp I'll ever buy! ha ha!

I hate to sound like someone half my age, but what the hell:

DUDE, THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!

I just rechecked this thread after a few weeks and found more getbent goodies. I've got headphones on blasting this track with my sorry a$$ guitar playing cranked up and am in absolute wanna-be-a-rock-star heaven. I swear getbent, your backing tracks have provided me some serious feel good moments.

Thanks man!

- James

P.S. Okay, I'll stop being a doofus now.

getbent · October 28th, 2007, 12:18 AM

James,
Hey man, I appreciate the positive feedback! I'm busy in my little studio... I've got some more coming... I wanna do a backing track for folks to do Ghost Riders in the Sky (or just wail over the progression) and a buckaroo one... and maybe some others.... My bosses boss just gave me 3 extra days off this month, so I'll take two of them just to record. I also just got some new country drum loops so I'm messing around with them...

MORE TO COME... lemme know when you get sick of them.

One word: AWESOME!

Thanks for the tracks. Sounds great and love listening to what everyone's added.

Don Miller · November 3rd, 2007, 04:58 PM

I found the first track posted over on the FDP...I didnt make the association of that track to this thread until this morning...

Anyway, heres my take on the inital backing track. Sometimes trying to mike a dobro is like giving a drunkard a pie pan and a spoon. There are a couple clams but nothing that would grab your foot and drown you...

Don, nice job! I dig the dobro! Would it be possible to send me just the track with dobro not the backing part? There are two parts of it I'd like to cut into a loop if it would be okay with you... I've been messing around with creating a loop library (I put an example on this thread) and I'd love to have your dobro on there... just kicking around an idea for an expansion to the product.

Don Miller · November 3rd, 2007, 07:55 PM

Indeed Randy...I will get that track off to you a bit later.

Ignatius · November 3rd, 2007, 10:58 PM

Hey Getbent,

Thanks for these! Always cool to have these kinds of tracks to mess with! And they're all very nicely done too.

Well, I guess I was feeling quirky tonight. I hadn't played blues in a while and I thought I'd have some fun trying *not* to play my usual blues cliches over this one. I was out there on the edge of the limb with a few of these phrases - my timing is a little off in spots and you can sort of hear me thinking about what not to play next

.

This is definitely not "blues" per se, but I thought it had some interesting/entertaining moments, if for no other purpose than to hear someone playing blues who is trying hard not to play blues!

This is my 50's tele with a Deluxe Nashville neck, Fralin Blues at the bridge, Line6 UX2. Not perfectly in tune and this was my first (and only) take. I just grabbed the last several measures because a) they were the most interesting and b) it would have bored us all to death to hear me noodling over this whole tune.

getbent · November 4th, 2007, 12:00 AM

dig it! some sweet phrasing in there! good sounds outta that ux2... you can really hear the geetar! nice job!

Thanks! I guess it's my Steely Dan influence coming through. I always liked that angular sort of phrasing in the SD guitar solos.

Thanks again for sharing the tracks - I'm going to have some fun with these. Love the Cajun-flavored one!

getbent · November 18th, 2007, 01:55 AM

Wikur sent his take on a track... really, really, really great job!

Wow!

sorry I've been slacking guys! I'll get to work tomorrow.. I was in meetings for many days.... it is like being out of jail! into the studio (I'm full of crap.. it is my garage) tomorrow... I'll see what I can come up with.

if you guys can't figure out a way to host a tune... let me know... I have a pretty good storage system.

garytelecastor · November 18th, 2007, 02:21 AM

Very nice. Thanks a lot. Is it a B3 in the background?

wikur · November 19th, 2007, 12:13 PM

Nope.Thats a Telecaster with a fast flanger.
Jimmy Vaughan use to have his guitar sound that way on some songs.I like it even if I never can get close to Jimmys tone.Would be great to know how he does it,can`t just be that he plays a Strat!,or is it?
Thanks for your help Getbent!
Cheers,Wikur!
