Anyone up for a new Jam?!!

[mosiddiqi]

Thought it was about time..:o...I'll move this to the BT area once a few of you have got involved :cop:

Here's the BT:

And here's my take to get us going, don't be shy! :)

http://www.box.net/shared/no78cdekxl

As the file names suggests, it's pretty mixolydian sounding :o...G Mixolydian, which has the same notes as C Major..nice and easy!...and it's barely a minute long, so easier to focus on I think.

I'll see if I can find some time..I haven't been able to get my recording rig happening in my office since I had to replace my hard drive...

Have downloaded the BT and will have a go at it today (after I've sorted out the ma-in-law). But I'm not going to listen to Mo's take until I have recorded one that I'm happy with, coz it'll only make me despondent. :o

[micwalt]

That's a cool take, Mo--very melodic. I've been jamming a lot of mixolydian on a new song I'm working on (laid down rhythm tracks and haven't written any lyrics yet, so I've been treating it as a BT).
I'll try and get a take down on this one maybe tomorrow.
:aok:

:thu: :rawk: :rawk:..look forward to 'em!

As an aside, I think Mixolydian is my favourite mode to jam in..something about that Major 3rd with a b7 I really like.

Just a bump for now.

I was up until 3:30 last night recording some takes. I converted my WAV file to MP3 (or so I thought) and loaded into box.net. All I have now is a 2 minute silent MP3. I will post later today when I figure out why my converting program didn't work. :(

I've used FreeRip several times in the past without any problems. What do you guys use to convert WAV to MP3?

[micwalt]

It's been too hot to play guitar.
Maybe I'll be able to do something tonight.

I convert WAV to MP3 in Reaper..you need to download the DLL and store it in the same directory as Reaper..IIRC. Then, when rendering a mix, you just select "convert to MP3" in Reapers dialog box.

Finally!!!!! ready to post. I don't know why my wav to mp3 conversions were giving me blank songs.

I'm posting this mostly to show how different two people can interpret a song's feel. I didn't listen to mosiddiqi's take until after I did mine.

Mosiddiqi went with a precision, hard rockin' feel :aok: and I went with a sloppy, poorly timed, mellow feel. messedup0

But here it is. I promised myself when I finally went to digital recording I would post my stuff to get feedback and hopefully motivate myself to practice more and improve.

That was trippy dudeman!..I like!..the repeated phrase definitely gave it a hypnotic quality...actually when you played more notes, you sounded less confident with the phrases, though they worked fine...maybe land on chord tones a bit more on those busier phrases, which would give them a more melodic/connected feel. But, fine job overall! :thu:

Oh, as one of the guys in the LL suggested, I did a more laid back take too. :o

Very nice. I like the mellowness.

Oh shit! That's perfect. The phrasing is great, and the note you hit at :22 gave me chills.
Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to try this out yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Thanks Mike! :)..I was trying to hit more chord tones and just lay off on the phrasing a bit rather than attacking the hell out of it. :o

Look forward to yours!...Mark, I'll move this over the weekend.

Hey, here's mine:
http://hc.bloodyvelvet.com/files/225/01%20MoMyx%20Jam.mp3
I don't think it turned out that great. I really didn't feel comfortable in mixolydian on this one, so it ended up being about 60/40-straight major licks/mixolydian licks.
Whatever.

Sounded damn good to me!..the lick just after the mid point change is great..and the sweepy sounding licks towards the end..:love:. If I was going to be super picky, I'd say it lacked a bit of micwalt fire..but that's 'cos I expect to hear that from you everytime. :)..damn, you're HUMAN! :D

Well thanks.
I tried a shreddy take, but it just sounded stupid.
This was me laying back.

Okay after hearing awesome takes (Mo, Dude, Mic) I had to jump in on this too. Here is my 1 min and ??? of jamming over Mo's track mistakes and all.

Nice!..I liked the bends and the descending octave thing you did :thu:

Thanks brother Mo. Would love to do a collab with you one day - Cheers!

[ctmusinz]

Love the laid back take!
Some sweet sounding sliding runs in there.
