Moderators Red Ant Posted October 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2015 With Halloween nearly upon us, what backing track could be more appropriate than Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein"?!?!? Without further ado... Frankenstein backing: https://app.box.com/s/4df4fuvrno6s3e2qo11nujabd76lxgkq And here's my take.... I completely winged it, having the song burned into my brain since an early age, but I did have to punch in once half-way through, having completely botched a landing Red Ant: https://app.box.com/s/q0mooognxi4bh7imrr1dfb718fzvalyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brought a huge smile to my face. Love how that first solo gets going after you lay into the wang wheel! Great outside stuff at 1:17!! And where the keyboard solo goes to the end was over-the-top wanky awesomeness!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Red Ant Posted October 25, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2015 Mwahaha!! Join the dark side!!

First take, but I did a a do-over on the keyboard solo part. The first one wasn't pretty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you got the after-solo part right, starting from the ascending licks... ya b@stard! I just winged, haha The 6/8 part is just freakin' INSANE.

My band does this song as an encore a lot so I know the ascending lick pretty well. Although I never did bother to figure out the dimished-y lick after that. I usually just turn my volume down and move my fingers while whistling inconspicuously. I think the closest I've gotten it was on that take.

I figured you'd played through this tune a time or two I have also, but not in a looooong time. And my approach to that diminished lick is "it ends on a natural VI" Edited October 25, 2015 by Red Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 With Halloween nearly upon us, what backing track could be more appropriate than Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein"?!?!? I thought you might do "Spooky", but Frankenstein is also an outstanding choice for the Halloween edition of the jam! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
