Thought I'd post a track that people might like to have a go at soloing over. It's a jazz progression in C major based on the common I VI II V I run. In this case the chords are CM7, Am9, Am7, Dm9, Dm7, G9, Dm6/9 (or G13 with no root), Bb9, Fm6/9 (Bb13 no root) and CM7. 4 bars of I, 4 of VI, 4 II and 2 of V plus 2 of I before it loops. First CM7 uses two different voicings of the M7th, one with the B as the upper note (as an Em triad over C bass) and one as the standard 8th position CM7. Standard 4/4 in 122 bpm.
For soloing - in jazz you follow the chord progression and accent the important notes of the chord or melody to pull out the harmonic progression. So try not to stay with one scale/arpeggio but experiment and see what works - look at Andrew's theory pages if you're not too sure. Apologies I recorded straight in to the pc so the tone is flat and there are no effects/distortion - just a clean semi, fingerpicked. Level is low - tends to be how I record - I hate digital distortion. There are a couple of minor jumps where I had to pause whilst recording as my wife/daughter wanted immediate attention, hopefully they won't put you off. (I'm not great at 'drop in' recording.) Last few bits - a) Collaboration is open to any who want to have a go.  Apologies as I don't have the time to mix your work so you will need to do a merged backing/solo track for up load if you want feedback. (Unless someone wants to volunteer to do the mix...) c) Feedback - I'm a great believer in peer review so if you post then anyone can comment - so long as it's constructive  . Hopefully with peer review more of us might get actively involved in the collaboration Breaking news - I've twisted Andrew's arm (don't worry he can still play ) and he has very kindly agreed to try to add drums and bass to the backing for me. What a nice man . The GMC file has Andrew's backing bass and drums added (thanks Andrew - you're a star). Cheers, Tony This post has been edited by tonymiro: Sep 3 2007, 10:17 PM
