[White Gold]

funky track!

I love it...you got a solo so I can get inspired?

[Mark Wein]

I got a little busy...I'll probably crank one out tomorrow afternoon...

[Denverdave]

I might take a shot at that one....

I hear a Funkadelic, Hendrix inspired, OD drenched lead line on top of that.....

Or something Prince-ish....

Too bad I can't pull either of those off.... :quag:

[platypus]

So what modes would you use for that track F# mixolydian?

[Mark Wein]

You could use F# Mixolydian, F# Blues, F# Minor Pentatonic, F# Major Pentatonic and even try F# Dorian.


You can also trying to superimpose the following arpeggios over the F#7 chord:

A#m7b5 ( A# C# E G ) - Bbm7b5 would be easier to think but A# is actually the 3rd in F# so it keeps it all straight....


C#m9 (C# E G# B D#)

E major 7 (E G# B D#)

Sheeite! That's awesom1

[Denverdave]

I just screw around on the guitar until I find a scale I like. My 'comfort zone' is usually the minor pentatonic scale though....

Here is what great funk solos can be....

Nice, I enjoyed that - felt like I was listening to Band of Gypsies for a bit in there.

I played with the track a bit last night, ended up in a F#m blues/dorian hybrid thingy and some A major thrown in, I didn't like the outcome too much biggrin

[White Gold]

any solo's yet mark?

I'm not trying to rush you, but I just need inspiration!

i wan't to play this desperatly

[Mark Wein]

Sorry...I have a couple of test passes...maybe I'll put one of those up tomorrow....

Even though the A major has the same notes as F# natural minor if you are thinking A major when you play your resolutions probably won't work out so well....

[platypus]

yep, they didn't biggrin

OK...here is my test pass..I'll probably do another one later over the whole thing with a shighly less crappy sound :weebz:

You always told me when I play to leave brakes so the rhthem can fill in...

Was that only for blues you suggested, because I didn't hear brakes in this...

Different "rules" for funk?

I especially told you that to get you used to playing coherent phrases in a more traditional blues sense...

Not really any rules for funk, but I wasn't really doing much more than yammering over the track to get a feel for what would work....theres quite a bit of crap in that take as I did a little trial and error...

How can I record over this funk track? I can record my own stuff and I 'm not sure how to do it over another mp3 file.  i want to be able to record at home rather than taking our lesson time to record...

OK, I finally had a minute to sit down and drop one in. I'm actually pretty happy, got it in one take. AOK Usually I do 3 and pick the best one (after much deliberation as to which one is actually the best one biggrin ). Added a little reverb, doubled the track and here you go.

I was hoping to use my Mbox for another take but that ended in tragedy...maybe I'll do a less metal version later today...

[platypus]

you should have a handicap...you're a pro...your next clip has to be a polka style accordion solo over this backing track biggrin

[Mark Wein]

I do own an accordion, but its been on "loan" to our keyboard player for about a decade smi

[platypus]

is it hard to play?

[Mark Wein]

its a 120 button one and my finger tips are too large to push one button at a time so I gave up trying...I can play the right hand fine since I play piano but the left hand was physically impossible....

[platypus]

make it a kazoo then tongue0

[telecaster911]

Can you at least make it do the wile e coyote hitting the ground after falling off a clif sound biggrin

[Mark Wein]

Here is something a little different...someone asked me about playing F# Phrygian Dominant (or B Harmonic Minor) over this.

Its not something I do very often but I thought I would do a short sample of the sound...i kind of like it smi

http://www.markweinguitarlessons.com/soundfiles/phrygiandom.mp3

[platypus]

Wow, that was different! You were wearing a turban and playing that weren't you? Maybe the shoes with the curly toes? biggrin



You know it's funny, I was watching the dorian mode, and minor pentatonic lessons, thinking if these are all the same notes that are in a major scale what the hell is the big deal with modes? Why do I need them? This clip gave me the answer to that question, thank you...kinda, I think. I'm still a little confused. tongue0

biggrin

Its all in getting the "flavor" of each mode out of those collections of notes. F# Phrygian Dominant is just the 5th mode of B Harmonic Minor. If I just played it as B Harmonic Minor and played my Yngwie licks that all resolve to notes in B nothing would have made much sense... smi

I've known the scale was there but I've never really bothered to use it...I might actually start using it more often now that I've given it a spin...

:weebz:

Sorry. I often skim over the backing tracks because I find it pretty difficult to come up with interesting lead guitar lines that last 4 minutes. :weebz:

Plus, I've been pulling my hair out trying to get my new laptop setup for recording.

I think I got it figured out this morning, so I may give this a go this evening, provided I don't have a catastrophic setback in the world of peripheral conflicts with Windows Vista when I get home.

[platypus]

Good luck with that, vista hates me and my peripherals :mad: That used mac place Warren posted is looking pretty good to me right now.

I cut the clip I did way short, hell I lost interest after a few minutes biggrin

Here's what I was running into.

Laptop has Vista Home Premium 64. Also has a card reader, 4 USB 2.0 ports, a Firewire port and an expansion slot.

I installed an ESATA expansion card for my external harddrive. I had to get the external hard drive because the computer's internal one is 5400 RPM and was too slow to record 10+ tracks of audio for an hour +. So, I got a 7200 RPM 1.5 TB drive and hooked it up via ESATA. I've got two Firepods run in series into the Firewire port. I also had my wireless internet card (USB) plugged in and had a USB flash drive plugged in.

With everything plugged in, the computer wouldn't recognize the Firepods. Once I unplugged everything except the Firepods and the ESATA card, it works fine. idn_smilie

[telecaster911]

See if the firepod site has drivers for 64 bit windows. My stuff runs fine with absolutely no problems on 32 bit Vista. I have 64 bit XP at work and most of the old stuff that I have doesn't work. :mad:

I've got the latest Firepod driver installed, and it's working fine, so long as I don't have more than 2 peripherals plugged in at once. idn_smilie

Ahhh, OK

[Prages]

Okay, got the backing track downloaded and will give this a take in the morning (Mrs. P has to be AT WORK at 6 am, so I have plenty of time in the morning after she leaves).

I can definitely lay down some pentatonic funk wanking on this. cop0

Kinda reminds me of some of Alex Lifeson's solos for some reason.

Are you thinking something like "Limelight"?

[Phil513]

Oh i dont know for sure, i'd have to listen again. I had no song in particular in mind, it just sounds like a scale he would use.

[Prages]

I've got my take uploading now. Should be ready to post in just a few minutes.

In the meantime, I'll start downloading some of the other takes posted so far.

some cool playing there

[platypus]

AOK

Was that a talk box I heard in there? and what did you use for the fuz?

I would say that you added two words to my vocabulary with that clip, wankalicious, and sexified :quag:

[Prages]

It was an over the top flange setting in a Cubase plugin. I only put it in there because I hit a really bum note and wanted to detract attention from it with the use of a cool effect. :weebz:

I didn't use any fuzz. That's my US Masters straight into my Classic 30. The clean part is the neck/middle on the clean channel, the dirty part is the OD channel with the gain about 2/3 of the way up using the bridge pickup (Dimarzio Tone Zone). Then I put on a little delay and reverb using plugins.

Glad you liked it. AOK

[platypus]

wow, that classic 30 sounds like a screaming fuzzface love0

[Prages]

I didn't really do anything different than normal. Maybe I had the mic a little too hot and clipped the mic pre a little or something, though I don't think so.

I've never owned a fuzz pedal in my life. idn_smilie

closet fuzz pedal user biggrin

[Phil513]

Dang Prages. That was awesome. AOK

[Prages]

Thanks, tosser. :weebz:

It was really just my usual pentatonic wanking for the most part. I think I did two takes on the clean part and one take on the dirty part. idn_smilie

[Phil513]

For wanking it seemed pretty well constructed. You are a good wanker. hahahahahaha.


Seriously. Very impressive.

[Prages]

In no particular order:

Mark's (I think) Phrygiandom take: Cool. Never would have occurred to me to use most of those notes, but they seem to work somehow.

Thredlok's first take: I like the theme you're working with. Sounds good. Pretty cool tone too.

Thredlok's second take: 20% less clams indeed. I see that you kept with the same theme and just refined the playing in this one. Again, very nice.

Tele911: I like it. Very nice note selection, and really nice tone to boot. This is probably the smoothest take I've heard yet. AOK

RonK: Some really good stuff going on here. Kind of restrained sounding. Nice space, it lets you get over what just happened before moving on to the next phrase.

thank you, you are too kind chears

[telecaster911]

Thanks dude AOK wave0

[Prages]

Rocklegend: First take: A little sloppy, yeah, but some good ideas going on. With a little refining this one could be right up there, I think.

Rocklegend: Take 2: This one is less sloppy. Still a few little timing issues, but overall, a really good take.

[Prages]

I just relistened to my take.

I love whatever it is I was doing the last 10 seconds.

I may have to write a song around that. :weebz:

[platypus]

that last part was tubular and flangtastic AOK

[Mark Wein]

Bump!

[jayhitz]

I'm going to try to play around with this one. Not listening to everyone else's take yet, or I'm sure I'll be intimidated and might not want to try it. I'll see what I can come up with for a few days, then maybe see if I can record something worth saving.

Ok, I've been brave..:o...there's lots of crap in here..and I find it really hard to solo for longer than about a minute..:o :facepalm:..but, as Joe Perry said "Hey, I was enjoying myself!"...

Right, so far I've listened to:

Mark - :eek: 'nuff said.

Prages - Lovely, nice phrasing, liked that take a lot :thu:

Tele911 - Very tasty! :thu:..nice articulation as well.

I'm really enjoying playing along with this, might be a few more days before I get a chance to do any recording. Really looking forward to hearing everyone's take on it, but I'm going to wait until after I've tried to do something with it. Hopefully might get a day off the first part of next week, and get a chance to hook everything up & try recording something.

Looking forward to it!

Haven't forgotten this, my "few more days" has turned into a couple of months, but still would like to give it a try, and Chihli's backing track as well. Just can't seem to come up with anything I think is worth keeping, especially after hearing what the rest of you guys did. Have a couple days off this weekend, finally, and will do my best to try again and see if I have any better luck.

Please do! The idea is for everyone here of ALL skill levels to challenge themselves and not to be too self conscious about it....

Well, I got a take on this done today, but haven't been able to get it rendered to MP3. I had no problems before, but reinstalled Reaper today, and its telling me that my lame_enc.dll is not a valid Window image. Not sure what that means, and have messed with it today until I'm getting a headache and am giving up. May try again tomorrow.

If I can get it converted to MP3, I'll post it here ASAP. Not that it's very good, but I figured it's better to do something than do nothing, I seem to learn a little something every time, although I have a long way to go.

[jayhitz]

Well here's what I got yesterday. Finally figured out how to convert it with Itunes, as the rendering thing has me stumped for now.

Pretty much just a one shot deal, as I'm not able to really edit much yet. There are a few bad notes in there, but overall it's one of the better takes on it I've done I guess. Pretty pedestrian sounding, I think, like pretty much everything I seem to play, but I like playing over this, so may try and come up with some new ideas and try again later on.

Thanks! I appreciate you listening! Still want to try it again later on, though. It's really fun to play along with.

I agree...theres some good stuff in there!

[jayhitz]

I agree...theres some good stuff in there!

Thanks to you too, Mark. Seems like pretty much anything sounds OK over that track. The medium tempo and lack of chord changes make it pretty much right up my alley (kind of hard to screw up too much!).

Tonight I may try to go back and listen to what the rest of you guys did, and maybe if I have time try again this weekend and see what happens. Like I said, if nothing else, it's a lot of fun to play along to!

Thanks again for listening.

[jayhitz]

Just listened to the rest of them-liked them all! All you guys rock!
