I know EXACTLY what you are saying, GB. As time goes on, I often think that it has finally become impossible to write anything that is truly original anymore. With the millions (billions) of songs that already exist, how can anything new be written using the same finite set of notes, chords, melodies, etc.

And yet, new songs do indeed get written every day. How amazing is that?
At the same time, though, I think it becomes increasingly difficult to come up with anything that hasn't already been done before.

Doesn't mean that, as musicians, we shouldn't keep trying!

GB-

I am LOVIN' your backing tracks. What a service you are providing for us.

They REALLY help put it all together when we don't have band to work with.

Thanks again, GB.

Okay, some fellers are gettin' antsy for some new tunes... I haven't finished "Buckaroo" yet... But, here is "Green Onions"

First, with guitar
Second without guitar

enjoy, sorry for the cheesy organ... I've been way too busy on work and volunteer projects... but, I finally got an afternoon and night off... more to come!

getbent · March 26th, 2008, 02:58 AM

Get Ready

with guitar

without guitar

you should be able to wail on this... I did it quite awhile ago... it missed the cut for a project I did for a little company... I was time machining tonight and thought you guys would dig this...

wikur · March 26th, 2008, 01:56 PM

Thanks GB!
Green onions and Get ready,backingtracks supreme!!!
I`m really having fun with theese ones!
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,Wikur!

getbent · June 20th, 2008, 03:26 AM

Hey, any requests? I'm getting ready to do some recording in the next couple of weeks.. if there is a song or two you want the solo tracks to.... I'll do what I can....

My efforts? Almost makes me ill.

getbent · September 6th, 2008, 05:28 PM

hmmmm... over all of them.... most are loops (with some adjustments) but a couple ARE synths (very few) from logic... their electric piano and organ synths (more like triggered samples) are just really good...

sorry about that...

hou35male · September 6th, 2008, 05:57 PM

Buckaroo and Ghost Riders with Workin Man Blues as a back-up!!!!

Is not a problem. Your backing tracks are so pristine and clean.

I use Ableton Live 7 and an Edirol FA-66. I guess a TonePort (USB?) would take the place of the Edirol. But then there's latency probs...

good jamming buddy I think I'll put some stuff down!!

What a SUPER thread! I'm lovin' it. Thanks for all the good work!

Great stuff, and many thanks for sharing. If you get a chance maybe explain your process and what software your using? I'm having a hard time getting my mind comprehending this samples and loops, etc. What drum program are you using? I'm running cakewalkwith SR-16 drum machine, but I think maybe the loops is the way to go.

I'm using mostly garageband and a little logic. I own an SR16 but I haven't used it in years (they are great too) I've found I like to work fast and have a PLAN.

It is easy to get lost in feature sets (notice that lost and lots have the same letters!) I can write a song in an hour and record it in 10 minutes... then build my plan for making a 'real' recording... I have to set time limits to 'get it' and my major goals are in tune and in time...

The tonequest thing is not as important to me (perish the thought) I try really hard to not worry about that aspect and I tend to add effects (if I use any) after the fact...

in this thread I have a curtis mayfield style thing that is slightly out of tune... so I used a phaser to cover it... it still isn't perfect... but, I like it so I kept it....

Garageband is a really, really great product (I am totally biased) and as I've gotten better in Logic... I dig how I can use them together... and now I've added melodyne and it should really earn its keep on a project I'm starting next month....

Artemio_Cruz · October 27th, 2008, 10:22 PM

nice stuff, thanks a lot, i love you getbent!

getbent · October 27th, 2008, 10:23 PM

Thanks man! I need to get some stuff finished that I have 'half' done....

more coming.. I just need a couple of 'noise free' days.

KCKC · October 27th, 2008, 11:15 PM

GB,

These are awesome! Thanks!

Man if my recording, playing and production even come close to 1/10 of your's I'd be psyched! You're stuff always seems to have great feel!

graphs · October 28th, 2008, 01:33 AM

I just saw this thread for the first time. The tracks all sound really good! Thanks, getbent, day 2 of my vacation will be spent playing over these.

graphs · October 29th, 2008, 10:55 PM

You know getbent, these tracks are a real great resource for TDPRIers. It would be cool if they all could be found in one place. Like, perhaps if you edited your first post to include new additions so they'd all be compiled there as well as in the thread.

Not trying to make more work for you, just a suggestion because I think these are awesome and deserve more attention/easier access.

getbent · October 29th, 2008, 11:12 PM

okay, let me try to do that...

thanks for the suggestion and glad you like them.

DMRoller · October 30th, 2008, 12:03 AM

These are great!!

Thanks for the great resources, getbent.

And compliments to everybody that has posted their playing over them. Nice job. Downright inspirational.

Take care.
Dale

getbent · October 30th, 2008, 12:26 AM

Okay, I put all of them in the first post of the thread... I'm feeling guilty for not getting the rest done... I'll get'em done... sorry for the delay...

and here is a little tune I used midi and a guitar synth (borrowed) for

blues for billr

T Prior · November 15th, 2008, 12:05 PM

well here's my take of the "first one in G", which is the 1st track.

Much appreciation and thanks to GETBENT for all of the music and the thread..and for all those who posted clips, man they are great ! In between a few cups of coffee and actually going out to Walmart this morning somehow I got to play a little bit over this really fine track.
