Members carlygtr56 Posted May 16, 2006 Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 As if creating a backing track is a big deal.....as some here would have you believe........ Here's a meandering jam on one chord journey for 8 minutes....first take with a Strat/wah/ Mesa MK-III from '87. Notice the dynamics. It's not balls out every second.....building to a funk jam. That amp sounded great, IMO Crank if you can...... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=343910&songID=3919089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you got the Trower sound and melodic thing going in the beginning, but there were some of the same licks Marino uses (that he stole from Hendrix) going on in the lead work. Were you playing a Strat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carlygtr56 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 Originally posted by SuperStrat Your clip sounds good! Are you going to post the backing? Dude, I wish I had them. I'd love to use my current gear and my current way of playing over all my old tracks. I got 5 cassettes worth, but I never saved the backing tracks.

Were you playing a Strat? That's a Strat. Probably an American Standard....possibly had HS-3's in it when I made the track. Track sounds like a movie soundtrack or something......some kind of backround music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tweed Posted May 16, 2006 Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 I still dont understand a guy with your chops, top dollar gear, playing like a madman, still using cassettes. Spend 99 bucks Carl and get a guitarport or something. Would be nice to hear some better quality(soundwise) of you playing, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I just got a new laptop, so I was looking at simple PC recording stuff, but then the PC has to be near my amps. i wont use fake guitar sounds.....so I'll likely get one of those digital multi-track units.I wanna be able to download a backing track and play over it.

Members Digital Jams Posted May 16, 2006 Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 BTW...there is also a M version of the same device that has the Pro Tools a/d converters if you must have better but it is around $100 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saved the link.While I like playing over tracks and creating stuff, I really don't like the part of learning {censored} about recording at all.....and the whole mechanical aspect of it. I burnt out in the 80's after making 5 cassettes worth of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
