Welcome to this smooth jazzy collab!
This one should help you guys phrase in C Dorian. Think in terms of phrasing and don't forget to add silences in there. You want to create something tasteful that will captivate the audience.
The tempo of this one is 100BPM.
You can use the C Dorian scale, and C minor pentatonic. Feel free to add chromatic notes to make something a bit more interesting.
Once you are done with your recording, upload your file with backing track and without in this thread.

David, If theres any spots left, i'd like to give this one a shot. I'll go ahead and upload but if theres no room, no worries. I'll try and make the next one! 
Posted by: skennington May 10 2008, 10:44 PM
Man, after listening to the takes that have been uploaded, don't think I was very smooth. Think I may have lost the idea. 
Great job guys!
Posted by: Smells May 10 2008, 10:53 PM
Skenny, I was completly lost on this one mate, I checked out a few lessons here, Ben Howells Jazz licks lesson is great, and also Ivans Jazz lessons, gave me some pointers, not to mention check out some of Davids lessons also
I still think my take stunk but hey its all about the learning
Posted by: skennington May 11 2008, 11:34 PM
Guys, the more I listen to this style, the more i'm intrigued. Been jammin the Soft Jazz station on my cable network and there are some really good jazz guitarists out there. Just to name a few, Russ Freeman (Ringintons), Craig Chaquica, and I'm really liking Marc Antoine.

We have 6 spots left!
Can you tell us the chord progression ?
There's no real chord progression here..
Just a steady bass riff playing over over a C min 7 riff. The chords in the background are just triads type chords that are taken from harmonizing a C Dorian scale.
Just play the C Dorian scale and you'll be good to go!
C Minor pentatonic will also work on this :-)

Nice job! You have popped your cherry.
I liked the feel and groove you have. Your use of chromatics was nice. Excellent job!
At the very end the tone with more gain didn't seem to fit and the last note kind of hurt my ears. Maybe it's just my crappy speakers or me though.
Other than that (which is just a very small nit picky thing) I think you did great.
Well done. Now I can go to bed.
Posted by: ItsMe May 16 2008, 03:33 AM
Thanks a lot
The tone might be a bit agressive. My Vox AD30VT doesn't deliver good higher gain sounds via the recording out so I tweaked it with VST effects. Might be too much. My monitor speakers are M-Audio studiopro 3 and they are just ok. It sounds good with them so I kept the recording. It was one take and I tried it 3 times. The one I took was the first take.
Other than adding compressor and chorus I didn't edit anything.
