Just do it man, what do you have to lose? We're nice on this forum.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
Once it seems like we have all the contestants were gonna get, we will discuss the backing track. It can be bluesy, grungy, country, who knows what it will be like. Maybe we can collectivley agree on a song to solo over or something. We shall see, regardless its a good get to know eachothers tone activity, and hopefully if this goes down well, we can do more, by going across all styles of music for the backing track, we will get to see the versatility in alot of the players on here.

We should solo over Alive....or Ledbetter!!! :D
Those are my best

Good job^^. I think Alive, Ledbetter, RIFTW would be good. Maybe RIFTW and Ledbetter, ya know, one slow solo and one fast.

Allright guys, its that special time...backing track desicion. Because we have about 10 people, i think its tiem to start deciding on what the track should be. I have a keyboard/midi for drums/piano, bass, and guitar. The drum beat will be extremely simple, but as far as the backign goes we have to make a desicion as a group. Heres what you have to figure:
Style Genre:
- electric rock
- soft rock
- acoustic melody
- blues
- any suggestions welcome
its gonna be in the key of G, just because alot of people who arent familiar with the neck still know this scale, and its extremely easy to write songs, so i hope you guys can agree on that.
The length will be aprox. 3 minutes. so just choose a style and tempo, and maybe even try and attach an artists style such as "neil youngish" or " 70's rock" or whatever. Hope we can agree!
my suggestion is "Mid paced heavy/pyschadelic blues"

Yeah, prob not a good idea to do a progression and Sir Mike solo's over, like the one poster said. Plus I've tried covering some so I would be stuck on that.
My vote on speed would have to be something low to mid tempo, just because if you get to high it sounds like your just wankin off, ala Eddie Van Halen.
so im definately seeing some older chunkier style of music, ala neil young....i could definately make some mid-tempo stuff like his. Something like, cortez the killer, even down by the river ish...? im thinking like a maggot brain that progressivly gets harder into something youngish. what do you guys thinking?

How did I miss that you typed Maggot Brain?! GASP! That's my vote. Maggot Brain-ish.
i edited it, lol, im thining it will start with the slow arpeggios like maggot braind and eventually break into the heavy chords, neil young ish maybe, so i geuss we'll see how it goes. We have to decide how voting will go too...maybe i can start an online poll somewhere...peopel will have to be honest and vote only once though...
edit: http://www.snappoll.com seems like a good place to conduct the voting. just dont advertise yourself, we need the peopel to hear the songs, then vote accordingly because we want true results. maybe we can have the top two voted players, to have a showdown, with a new sample track.....hmmm tasty

I can't believe how amazing Maggot Brain-ish sounds right now. I don't think I've ever played anything Maggot Brain-ish, and to tell you the truth, I'm excited.
since this isnt the confirmed thread, no. but once we have all our participants, and the sound samples, then hopefully we can get it sticked. This is definately gonna take some work on my aprt, but ill see what i can get together. Every couple months we should do this, different style backing tracks and whatnot. We'll have to set up a tutorial recording thread to for the average home computer person. And possibly find some freeware to distribute, im working on it though!

There are at least two freeware software programs that will help you to do this.
http://www.kreatives.org/kristal/
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
All you need then is way to get your signal into the PCs line in.
Oh, and this may help to get the files from MP3 to Wav and back again.

P.S. - Its moster, not monster like on the first page sign up. Common mistake! You can't help but insist that you see an "N" in there!
My vote on speed would have to be something low to mid tempo, just because if you get to high it sounds like your just wankin off, ala Eddie Van Halen.
I'm cool with all the suggested genre's of style.
And Neil Young-ish sounds amazing!
So does 70s rock.
I'm open to anything really and any key is fine.

What would be an example of this ???
"Sorry is the fool who trades his love for high-rise rent, Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get"
.NJD.
Pink Floyd, maybe?
but that's only because I've done that one before!
No but seriously, Maggot Brain is a wicked backing. I'd love to do another.
like slower jimi hendrix, robin trower, funkadelic...etc...
