@steve gilfield ... I dig the acoustic approach!
Semi quarantine here in La La land.
I kinda went for a Santana vibe.

Wow! Great tone mate! Your phrasing is very interesting here! It seems that this backing brings out our best Santana version!
Thanks for your take!
Posted by: klasaine Aug 9 2020, 07:16 PM
Thanks for your take!
Thanks Gab!
It's a great set of chords to play over. You can go rock, jazz, latin or get a little ethnic. There is potentially a lot of room to breathe on that track.

Yeah! It is. I continue using this one for my diary jam sessions.

Very cool take. I hadn't thought about going this direction but it works really well! Score.

I was surprised too by the way my brain preferred to come up with this style
Posted by: Todd Simpson Aug 19 2020, 12:04 AM
I think you've inspired all of us to push the boundaries a bit. Nice!
Posted by: Steve Gilfield Aug 19 2020, 09:20 AM
These sessions push my boundaries too so I feel the same too
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 19 2020, 02:26 PM
Nice!!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 26 2020, 06:46 PM

That's great Todd!! You sound cool over Dark Blues backings mate!
Thanks for your take!!
Posted by: Todd Simpson Sep 5 2020, 11:16 PM
Thanks!! It was a very fun bit to solo over I wanted to make the high bends sound sort of like someone crying/wailing/mourning.
Thanks for your take!!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 6 2020, 04:06 PM
I can feel it!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 21 2020, 02:20 PM

On a side note.. I'm mixing this one.
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 21 2020, 08:41 PM
Ok guys!! These is what I've done with our takes!! Hopefully Todd makes a video for this one!
I've tried to make it musical, but I also added some a speech from The Godfather. For any reason, the tune reminds me to that amazing trilogy.

Sounds great Gab! I'm always cool with Marlon Brando making a guest appearance.
*Did you speed up the track a little bit?

heheh thanks a lot mate!
Awesome mate!!
*Did you speed up the track a little bit?
No! Is there anything wrong with your take? I had issues because the format m4a is not supported in Cubase so I had to convert it. If you want, please send me mp3 or wav files and I'll replace your take.
Posted by: klasaine Oct 22 2020, 04:46 AM
No, it sounds fine. I usually can't play that 'fast' anymore
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 22 2020, 01:58 PM
hahaha your loss of speed is running very fast!!
Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 22 2020, 11:03 PM
Video is up!!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 23 2020, 03:18 PM
