"Funky Jack" Backing Track Jam - with bonus video :o

[Mark Wein]

For your entertainment:





You can download the track by clicking on the "down arrow" icon. It would be fun to have some jamming going on. The chords are E7 for the first section and G7 for the second one. I might do a tutorial video later on some things to play over a dominant chord other than pentatonic and mixoloydian scales.

A little lesson to go with the track:



@mnewb1 you might be interested in this.

Thanks!

I'm going to crank out a bunch of new ones over the next few months I think.

This is good shit, @Mark Wein

I find it is inspiring me to pick up a guitar and try to jam out.
And I haven't felt that way in quite a while.

I should have watched your video!

I figured I'd just do it without listening to anyone elses take except the original and to just do it without repeated takes or anything - to make things matter I decided to record it on a 7-string guitar that I've never played before.

So, several times I got "lost" just going "ahhhh, wait a sec, I'm one string over than where I should be" which gave some unexpected results.

I really dug the verse riff so I wrote a little power chord melody to go over it that I repeat a few times throughouts. The dominant chords you can tell I basically tried to "minor pentatonic" my way through it.

My take:

 

[aliensporebomb]

Wow. I was hoping some more would join in on this. I thought it was a well done track and there's a lot of fun to be had by jamming along!

I would like to, but I have no recording software. I have Audacity, but it doesn't work with Guitar Rig 5, which I use.

My take:

I dig it. The more Eric Johnson-sounding lines were really cool. I might explore that a little and do another take!
