GMC Forum _ Collaborations _ Up Tempo Blues Collaboration
Posted by: Jose Mena Dec 14 2008, 11:50 PM
Hello Everyone
I've been wanting to lead a collab for a long time, and I thought it would be fun to play over some old fashioned blues backing track, I used this backing track on a lesson, and every now and then I play it and Jam with it.
So lets jam together, throw in your bluesy licks, chose your scale, this progression gives you a lot of freedom, mix them up and be creative. We can all learn from each other here.
I don't have a limit for the participants. But don't want an extremely large Jam.
Please upload your take completely dry (no time based effects, delay, reverb), on the upload with the backing track mix with your effects and stuff so I can get an Idea of what you want, and also let me know on your upload post.
Cheers

I will do my best to give this a go but I disappear home for Christmas so I may run out of time in the 5 days I have before that. 
I will try and record though.

12 bar blues, nice...i might give it a go if i can figure out something creative to record
Posted by: Jose Mena Dec 15 2008, 03:22 AM
All right OC, give it a shot, I might keep it open for some time, given the holidays and stuff.
Good to have you on board

Posted by: kjutte Dec 15 2008, 12:06 PM
I'm having big troubles being creative with this too.
I'll give it a try I guess 
Posted by: berko Dec 15 2008, 02:25 PM
Please sign me up too, Jose
Posted by: Jose Mena Dec 15 2008, 03:01 PM

feel free to look at the up tempo blues lesson to give you some ideas. Don't think about it too much, just go for it
Posted by: Dexxter Dec 15 2008, 03:14 PM

Posted by: Jose Mena Dec 15 2008, 04:47 PM
Done
Posted by: enforcer Dec 15 2008, 09:09 PM
I want to sign up if its possible
edit:typo?!
Posted by: Oxac Dec 15 2008, 09:32 PM
I already recorded I even made an intro part... (I hope that I'm not disqualified...)
Jose, this was just an improvisation so I didn't want to make 2 takes. But just a little reverb and delay please.
Also, I have a problem when improvising like this. I get very stiff in my right wrist and I start digging too deep >.< Any tip? When I don't improvise my technique is much better. But somehow I get insecure and my playing really suffer from it.

Hey Oxac, cool intro, you are not disqualified but I was thinking of putting everyone's performance in the order that is on the list, I might have to cut the parts that you extended (before and after) I'll see what I can do
You are in
I guess I will keep it open till Friday, for more signups, lets see if we make 15.
By the way, when I meant dry, I meant no reverb or delay, but you should use amp emulation distortion compression and other effects that are part of your sound. It seems that I may have caused some confusion
Posted by: Oxac Dec 16 2008, 06:51 PM
Nemas Problemas Jose, just don't cut the parts inbetween
Posted by: Oxac Dec 17 2008, 08:42 PM
I just finished my 2 first pickups and I thought that I'd upload a take with them (you don't have to include it in the mix if you don't want to). But if you do want to do that, a slight reverb and delay would be awesome.
I hope it's not too much trouble, I'm so very proud of myself right now, you see
-EDIT- Regarding the noice in the beginning; the pickup isn't potted yet and that combined with cheap electronics in the guitar is the villain(s).
Posted by: superize Dec 17 2008, 08:45 PM
I am in for this one
what key is it in
Posted by: Crazyfret Dec 18 2008, 09:31 AM
I'd like to give this a go please if I've not missed the boat.
Got some free time tonight to put a recording down 
Posted by: Jose Mena Dec 18 2008, 03:09 PM
what key is it in
Sorry for not specifying the key, A _____ you fill in the blank,
, Minor works, but there is also a major third, so you can combine with A major, flating the 5th sounds nice too to give it a bluesy sound, and sharp 6 gives it a nice Dorian sound, I guess you can go free here.Im putting your name down

It is cool, no problem, I'll give everyone sometime, the holidays just passed and I guess everyone's been on other things, including myself.
cheers everyone
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jan 13 2009, 09:58 PM
Sorry this is so awfully bad but I had so much fun doing it. I thought what the heck I will go back to my anti solo days and play some weird annoying stuff. 
I love it I might carry on soloing like this more it's great fun.
