What do you do about it? You could play to a metronome at the BPM of the backing track...keeping you on tempo and letting you focus on bends/vibrato Thats what i'd do at least You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Or four times, pan one low and one high to L and R. Then in your DAW lower the volume for the sour parts You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Anyway, my advice would be to find a middle volume where the BT rhythm is clearly audible and strong but your lead won't get "under" it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

First one is to set up backing track in the middle (like Muris said) and learn to do both things well over it. Second solution is to record your solo with markers So you mark the section with loud playing and recording , then you go in and record one with low backing You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Jan 11 2009, 02:38 PM	GMC:er Posts: 1.202 Joined: 23-September 08 From: Istanbul	Thank you people, I think I'll use both of the good advices, I'll try to find a golden middle and sync the metronome with bt, therefore I could hear the bt just fine to keep the right speed sync and feeling, and hear all the details of my playing, keeping the good vibrato and perfect pitch bends. I am very glad that I had so much good advises, thank you all for solving my dilemma You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I connected my KOSS iPod headphones to the guitar amplifier, and put them on my ears; then I connected some larger PC headphones to the iPod playing the backing track and put them over the first headphones, this way I could hear the backing track a bit lower, and my guitar sound higher, without missing the rhythm of the song. This is probably pure rubbish, as: 1) I don't know if this actually helps 2) the headphones are bound to fall off after a while 3) it's extremely uncomfortable and it looks like you have a helmet fit for space travel !

To me there seems to be an art to getting the "monitor mix" right for recording. If the guitar is too loud in the mix, you can loose the inspiration that comes from the harmony or underlying cords in the mix. If it's too soft, the tone can get kind of "wimpy" sounding. There surely is a sweet spot where you can hear the beat and harmony well enough, and yet you can hear yourself play such that it inspires you to reach for that sweet note, or play tightly with the backing tracks.

That would give you confidence to not relay on the backing track. I think the problem is that you're depending too much on the backing and that's ok because we all do but sometimes it's a nice challenge to try to play the parts without any backing so we can hear the real thing and take care of bendings, un-acurate parts, etc. I hope this helps a little too You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
