a little tune to solo over

[getbent]

here is a little something to solo over while you read the tdpri...


it took just a few minutes... I'm using it with some kids I'm working with.

EDITED: after several requests... here are each of the tunes... read the thread for all the different guys jamming to them... pretty awesome playing!

first one in G

"Green Onions"

First, with guitar
Second without guitar

Get Ready

with guitar

without guitar

randy bachman on a g string

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

Get your spaghetti western groove on Olive Garden

SWA-No 'Lectric guitars-->you need to add them
SWA-Lectric geetars no solos or leads you add them

time to blow

time to blow with tenor

Funkaloopy! don't come in here unless you have a floppy hat on and some bootsy glasses.

kinda old timey quasi blue grassy in G

and this

here is the easy dog blues in g with harp

I started a thread for the tune that easy dog requested in this twanger central too.

a little soul riff to jam over.... there are a couple of mistakes, but I kind of liked them so I left'em

But FIRST, HERE IS NEHRU!

Palo Alto Calling

Elvis at Candlestick
a little more challenging kids!

overfilled!

here is a more country flavored one...

arroz

"easydog in a" it is a simple blues in a.. just bass, just drums.

the second I call "Skully's alien love child with Sheryl Crow"

'Long Distance'

HWY 129

sun-shine

I think that is all of them... I need some time off to finish some others.. I've got to get some done for some work projects anyway... so, stay tuned... more to come and I still owe 'buckaroo' and 'grits' and one for big dan...

[stinkymommasboy]

Man, that's better than butter. I been playing it nonstop.

[getbent]

here is a more country flavored one... I have lots more tracks on these but thinned them out so there is more room to cut loose

[stinkymommasboy]

keep 'em coming

[leftyjay]

do you want us to post our solo's over these backing tracks?

[getbent]

leftyjay,

I'd love to hear your solo's! My only purpose in posting them was to give back a little.... I love playing and reading the tdpri and having some tracks to play over is lots of fun for me... I figured it might be for some of my tdpri bros & sisters....

but, yeah, post away...

[Stefan]

Thank you very, very much! That will save my weekend! Since I don´t have a band to jam with these backingtracks are great! Do you have any more Country tunes?

[markothefish]

that is great stuff, GB... I love to screw around over backing tracks like that. Thank you again chief...

[getbent]

here is one more for tonight... I'm doing a bunch of recording this weekend (along with going fishing) so, I'll have some stuff on monday too... but here is a little cajuney country.. perfect for twangy tele...

arroz

[Grin'n'pick]

GB - thank you so much for these. Being someone without the necessary tools to make my own I am thrilled to see these. It is harder than you think to get suitable backing tracks, especially ones geared exactly to our needs like these, so I for one will get a lot of use out these and I'm exceedingly grateful for your time and trouble. Can't wait to get going on them when I get home (I can sneak a peak at the TDPRI here but doubt I'd get away with pulling a guitar out!)

My friend, I am a Cajun. And you hit the nail on the head with that one. I could play that for anyone here and they would love it.

tomorrow is dedicated to tracking stuff... I owe some sound samples etc... so, I'll put some more together and post them.. glad you like them... they are really fun for me (and divert me from working on my own wildly subpar songs!)

[RodeoTex]

Hey, thanks guys for all the postings. I'm not in a band and backing tracks are great to work with. Please keep 'em coming.

Nice job on the backing tracks GB and LJ did a sweet job building those solos. Hats off to both of you guys..........

[Easydog]

Sheesh. this could hurt a guy's feelings... fortunately, as Robert Zimmerman once said, "I used to care, but things have changed"...

Okay, first, is one for easydog called "easydog in a" it is a simple blues in a.. just bass, just drums.

the second I call "Skully's alien love child with Sheryl Crow"


I have a bunch of songs I'm actually really working on... but after hearing skully's tunes, Jere's tunes, krash's tune, wickedgtr's tunes... I best shut up for a spell... I'll wait until there are only songs being done by techno groups.. then I'll post my watered down super pap.

Easydog, there are a bunch of good programs out there to make rhythm tracks...

Band in a box is good
Arturia makes some software I had to use on a project once... really cool and powerful... but I kept falling into dance beats.. which weren't very merle haggard if you know what I mean!

Reason etc etc etc. You can also get one of those little gdec amps from Fender... I've seen them on craigslist for 150.00

or you can just record the tracks or snag drums, add the bass etc.

many paths to groovacious noodlin'

[mcfalljames]

getbent: Thanks man! Very cool of you.

leftyjay: Shweeeeet!

[leftyjay]

thanks for giving me some compliments out there. i thought the tracks were worth soloing over because they were done very well.

not to hi-jack the page, but......

if you are interested in hearing my mp3s and seeing me in some youtube vids, check out my website http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jaysmith

lots of guitar playing, banjo, piano, vocals

i like to show off with all kinds of playing styles. something for everyone.

i still have to get my satriani and eric johnson stuff videotaped.

[getbent]

blue angel is insane! Wow! I'm glad I started the thread if just to unearth your playing...

Amazing Work Jay! Hijack anytime you want!


Okay, last one of the night 'Long Distance'

[getbent]

slow blues in G
