alright!!!! cmon guys, post a backing track

Led_zep.... reach into your library and see if you have any more backing tracks!

What type of backing do you guys want? My vote goes for a standard rock track. A great platform for rock and shred licks alike.

EDIT : I did a quick scan through my mini-library, found 2 interesting tracks. One's a funk-fusion flavoured track, the other's a samba Santana-ish track. It would be quite a challenge to solo something tasteful over but it's definitely something different from the usual rock stuff.

Upload 'em if you can.

i wana listen to the funk fusion one

i got jerry c's i'm alright backing track...anyone wanna give it a try?

I think we should look for a generic track rather then an established rhythm track....... more like just basic drums, bassline and riff.

well i think asura can post it first then we see if its suitable or not. how about that?

uploading now, will be done in 10 minutes, if my connection is stable all the way...

echo: u want canon rock's backing track? i also got it..

Me got too.

That song. Gosh. His sweep pick is... (speechless)

For the backings, will go check what I have then. I used to download for fun, without actually playing them. LOL.

thanks but i already have canons backing track

here's the link to i'm alright backing track..

What's the link to the previous virtual jam topics?

I've heard the Jerry C track, not bad I guess, but would it suitable for improv?

fusion one sounds nice but i m not sure if i could play over it. will need to try. at the moment gotta wait til my fingers get alrite before i can try. blacktrix, u heard the backing tracks yet>

No..... send 'em to me if you can.

I've sent both backings to echobrainproject, anybody who wants it, please PM me your email.

Yeah the fusion one is rather hard.

Both sound good...... I think I can bluff may way through either.

My vote goes for the Santana thread.

The Jerry C track isn't too bad either.

nv send me at all?

my vote goes to the sultana smoothie...

btw, one noob question, how u guys record? mic to amp? line in? or any other methods? (i've never done proper recording before)

Sultana Smoothie can easily go over with Pentatonics for me! ahhaahahhaha!!!!!! I vote for that one too!!!!

Wheres the sultana?

Next time don't skip any post when you read a thread. PM your email and I'ill send them to you.

Hopefully, I'll get my Line6 KB37 so I can record the tracks with a proper setup! If no cash, Will go for the UX1 instead......

well since everyone wants santana then better be it. coz if i do the fusion one end up no one doing it then this jam wont be finished.

blacktrix, u sure u want the kb37? the keys feel weird. i would rather recomment getting a UX2 (coz theres phantom power) and later get a m audio midi controller.

for my recordings, at the moment its straight to my laptop's line in.

It's because
a) I want a keyboard because I'm having Audio Design (!!!!!!) as a subject this semester and
b) The foot controller would be AWESOME! I already use 3 foot pedals (2 on the Tonelab SE and my Wylde Wah) and might add in a Whammy and/or a rotovibe if I'm feeling lucky...... I definitely NEED a foot controller to get the most out of my sound..... everybody here knows I cover up my incredibly sucky soloing with the Wah.... it's my own personal "Enhancement" Pedal.

would you like tap dancing classes with that too?

fingers still hurt but i can play already!!!! (but like i said...FREAKIN HURTS though).

is the jam still on?

Looks like only a few of us who are interested.

I have to listen to it properly and see what spots we have available..... and then I'll make a sign up sheet like the last Jam...... Do you want dueling solos again (like the Metal trackin LYN Jam III) or the individual solos (the Classic Rock track, LYN Jam II)??

I'm interested but i'm not good enough to jam at all.

You never know if you don't try.......
but don't you play acoustic??? Would be interesting to hear that on a Santana-esque song!

which jam u guys r u talking abt??the one in echo's place???
can i join too...wanna see u guys play...i cant play electric guitar le

BlueSilver:we can sit there bodoh bodoh n watch them play...haha

No, this is a VIRTUAL Jam.
Basically, we'll post a backing track and then you do a solo over it. We'll list down the time slots where you want to go over with the solo. Once everyone's solo is done, someone will do a master recording and mix all the tracks together, making it seem like a totally awesome jam session!

Check the last 3 Jams to get an idea of what we mean....... but I THINK Jam III wasn't complete. I'll see if I can find Jam II on my PC somewhere.

hehe.. i wouldn't mind sitting there and just be amaze. Acoustic guitar can jam ma? I don't know how to do solo wor...

Sigh........ Read the post.......
It's a VIRTUAL JAM

its a virtual jam. its not at my place.

the jam is gonna be held in THIS thread.

hey guys, dont worry if u cant play well, thats the beauty of virtual jam is that u can record ur take as many times as you want (but then lazy ppl like me will just take the first few tracks and leave mistakes there like dragonforce. hehe)

Hmm... i m interested on it... can i join u all ?? Which track you all goin to jam with ? can send to me ?? thanks !!

welcome aboard! led zep, send him the files!

Hmmmmm...... it looks like I won't have time to record it this week and I'm going off to Shanghai on Sunday...... so I'll look through the song today and see if I can break down the parts.

Ooo virtual jams again eh? can i join?

anyone going to send me the file ? thanks !!

my email is seongkeat@gmail.com

i want to join too, let me know the backing track... i would like the "santana" style, but anything would be good, really.

i don't think i can make it for the virtual jam, not much time to practice and record...

i'll just sit around and hear the end result of the virtual jam..

Woooooooooooooo! Pix is back!!!!! Will definately have to start jamming now!

Backing Tracks sent, check your emails.

wooo!!! pix is joining!!!

asura, just join. u dont need so much time to practice. i wont spend time writing any parts. i'll just hit record and take the first few takes i could improvise.

well, i'll see how things goes...don't be surprise to only hear whacky out-of-tune noises...

backing tracks received... so how the part divided ?

Nope. If someone can divide it, please do....... I have to worry about what to pack to Shanghai....... It's like, 1-5 Celcius down there!

just whack anything on pentatonics. just make sure u nail ur track down before blacktrix, that way blacktrix has nothing left to play. haha. jk.

on a more serious note, just give it a try. alot of us will do mistakes too. you wouldnt learn if u dont try. this is a good chance coz u can do as many takes as you want.

Well... I'll have to buy my Line6 Toneport soon!!!!!!!!

i'll try to get something simple down...recording wise, i'm left with mic to amp only...

Eh.... you got that big Ol' Zoom 9.2tt!!!! Use that sucker!!! I would!

owh man, cmon. im just pluggin into the line in of a laptop!

All my sound card sucks.... and my old faithful, the Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS can't be used in my nForce4 motherboard! Will have to buy an X-Fi anyway because of Vista.

haha... i will try to record with my toneport...

guess I'll make my debut with LYN musicians this time

Backing Track : Sultana Smoothie???

Yup. Sultana Smoothie.

I wouldn't mind playing the second spot AFTER the intro.....

put beginners first so they wont get demotivated when they hear more experienced players play. *cough*means zeroleet goes last or else none of us dares to play*

itll also make the song nicer as it starts simple before building up to more complex structures.

Ok....... but this time, most of the people on the list (except me) are all very experienced players! No real beginners here!

BB King plays faster than I do...
enough with so-I-am-humble-cant-play-shit attitude

LedZep can you send me the backing track ?...I'll pm you my e-mail

Fine... I'll out SHRED everyone here! You might as well put me 20 tracks behind, because I can blow everyone's MIND with my FACE MELTING SOLOS!

Something like that?

sounds just right

Doesn't really matter how fast you are man...... it's how well you play it! You should know that.....

Haha... i will stay in ONE note ... and keep on vibrato ... until my part finish... lol ... kidding... kidding....

I guess I'm the least experienced then...been only 2-3 years for me without any proper learning methods..

Still waiting for your email, mate.

Put me last. Not that I think I'ill pwn everybody, but I won't be free to record until after CNY, so... just to be on the safe side, to avoid anyone else waiting for me.

someone need to break it into different part and list down the time code here..

Me too. I think we will finish this after CNY only

a good excuse to put in some new year feel to it...

Led Zep I already sent you the pm didn't you get it ?
anyways..my e-mail is
mysteriousx12.hotmail.com just put the @ yourself if you dont mind

Nope I didn't. I'm sending them now, you may remove your email.

just got it ...thanks

EDIT: so which track are we playing ?..I like both equally

excuse me.juz wanna share sumthing.lots of backing track can be found at
http://www.guitarbt.com/.
i've downloaded lots of dr. vai n satriani backing track n now i think i can play better(a.k.a playing like a hell)

hi everybody,

sorry, i've been out for few days... now i've got internet on my office computer, and soon i'll have it at home as well.

thanks leddy freaky for the tracks you sent via email, so as i understood, we're all gonna play on Sultana Smoothie ?

I'll try to do the parts by today or tomorrow, so everyone (hopefully) can choose a spot.

Wow, a virtual jam sounds very interesting... Can a noob like me join??

Sure you can.....
And welcome back to the mix Pix....

Will have to see how many people can start first...

im in after 25 feb.
flying back to kuching this weekend and only bringing my acoustic so it means no electric guitar for me (unless i record an acoustic solo. lol)

We'll wait then. I haven't gotten my UX yet.

ok, here is the cut !!

(The time indicates when the part starts. It ends when the next part starts... don't bleed on each other, please, you six-strings vampires !!)

Verse 16 (trumpets) - 4:29
Verse 17 (trumpets) - 4:45

I divided into a lot of little pieces, but i doubt there are 17 people that wanna join !! So feel free to use 2 or 3 slots if you do feel inspired. Shy ones can just use one verse.

The piece is a repetition of the same pattern over and over, with an extended variation when trumpets kick in.

For the "trumpets" verses, I don't recommend soloing wildly over them, but rather try to "voice" them or play "Q&A", or something like this. Because they play a melody, it would sound too "busy" with a solo on top of them. Try to integrate them in your solo, in those ways or your own way (just my two euros, but do as you feel !!)

Have fun !!

Thanks Led Zep ! Hope to hear EBP on this one, and all the newcomers I didn't have a chance to salute.

I'ill take Verse 12 & 13... okay? Since V12 is only 17 seconds long.

i might attempt a keyboard solo. never tried doing that before, but i'll see how.
to make things worse my keyboard skills is horrible

is that alright if i give verse 3 a try?

"a try" ? you'd better give it all you've got, or else, it's so not worth it !!

i forgot how we will record the tracks...
1) send one mp3 with the backing track + solo track
2) send the .wav with only your solo track

Up to someone to do the final mixdown, cutting all the solos on top of the backing track, in order to keep an acceptable audio quality..

Is that correct ?

Blacktrix, not as good as me??? You caught the echobrainproject humble disease too?
Btw, anybody has a USB modeller (Toneport, JamLab, Tonelab etc) to lend??? Previously I've recorded with the Magicstomp into the soundcard and I had to go through loads of post-editing. A Toneport would definitely save my life.

This post has been edited by led_zep_freak: Feb 8 2007, 09:07 PM

this will turn out nicely I believe...btw echobrain, I got a WD-7 ...I'll probably use it to record in this jam...you got any interesting presets for the padel ?

Led_zep, the Tonelab SE does NOT have USB recording..... If it has..... I'd be cutting tracks like mad......

alright,then I'll take verse 3 then....

guess i need to go out buy a usb cable...or else i'll just use mic to amp..

you all so canggih one. mine just normal cable output from my effects straight to my laptop's line in(with a cheap headphone 1/4" to 1/8" converter)!

im afraid i would delay and end up not doing this jam...

plus i am leaving back to kuching this weekend

so after 2 days of not sleeping studying for 3 test papers in 2 days......


i come home after dinner, pick up my guitar....


and.......


DID MY JAM PART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally i manage to join in a jam.

however i like to apologize as i was over excited and took verse 6 all the way to verse 8.

This post has been edited by echobrainproject: Feb 8 2007, 10:36 PM

canggih but no time to record also no use...not much time to even practice already

there are mistakes, and i'm no jemi or zeroleet who can shred and swee pick like mad (mine is messy) so i cant complain so much but practice more.

the mixdown track
http://www.yousendit.com/download/K0JTNU1La0RwM2w1VEE9PQ
tell me who is mixing then i'll send over the solo track
