Here's the latest Micwalt's Backing Track™: Drop D Rawk Jam--Give it a go!

Fantastic!
I especially liked what you did with the first verse section--very cool.

Thanks Mike ...I'm going to be practicing over this track for a while..great track to play over. I find it really hard to solo for more than a minute....most of our songs aren't that long

ok... here's my take... i'll admit... it's pretty damn sloppy... i haven't played much guitar in the past few months... heck, this was the first time that i even turned on my home studio it almost 8 months... this is the first time that i've even picked up my guitar for more than 10 min

for the recording, i used my jackson pc1 into my line 6 pod xt live into my mbox... again, it's sloppy, but i there are some good ideas(i think so anyway)... with a little practice, i can get my chops back...

Nice take. Definitely some good ideas in there. I liked all the whammy stuff too.

Again, cool takes everyone. I have one to post, but didn't have time to mix it down this morning. I'll get to that after I get home from work.

Look forward to it

Mark, are you going to move this to the BT forum?...I was going to stick a jam track in there over the weekend, but thought people might want more time on this first...

Mine might have to wait until after the holidays...I haven't had time to do it justice...

Here's mine. I did 4-5 takes and liked this one best. It's ok - a little sloppy at points.

In retrospect, the lead part could probably be a bit louder.

 

[mosiddiqi]

Cool!..I'll have a listen from home a little later.

Bad Asssssssssssssss

Man, that's some great Riffs. I'm jamming along with it at work

That's a really bloody good take requiem ...very tasty pentatonic/mixolydian licks, very nice "contour" to your lines..quite singable, which is always a good thing. Excellent job!.

Thanks, mo!

I felt ok about it. I might do something I don't usually do, and go back to learn the parts I like.

I'm "learning" some of your parts now

I'm sure you won't mind.

Good stuff guys.

Your hand will recover huge and you'll be playing that lovely slide stuff you do in no time.

Hey, I like the melodic stuff you had going in the verse sections. This is a great take, as well as another great example of what I love about backing track threads: it sounds nothing like what I played, which sounds nothing like what Mo played, etc.

Yeah, we definitely all had different approaches to it. I think it's really beneficial to hear everyone's approach - especially over something like the verse section in this track, where you can treat it as a key change if you want. Thanks for providing the backing - it's a lot of fun to play on.
