Well thank you Alex,
Coming from you it's really encouraging. Maybe I'll try part II later on. Thanks JPB

Hi Alex,
Congratulation on your video again- I really like it. It is so original! Really ground breaking! Cool. Nowadays, I am trying to get back into my own groove. Got myself a new guitar - An Ibanez AF105 NT - Niiiice! I think it will be cool for backing. Changed the bridge for a rosewood to get a richer tone. Did the trick. Attached is a quick Blues I recorded today. I tried to keep it dry on the backing to create a cozy dimension. Now I have to get back on the Modes and get out of my traditional scales. (Got your point on last few posts!) Backing is a classic I think. Would appreciate your comments. JPB http://soundcloud.com/jpbluestring/blues-with-ibanez-af105-nt |

 Tried something - Not too fast for now. Defining a drum track was not obvious. I'll have to develop my skills in that area for sure. Only gave it a little time. I am sure I could be more creative but I thought the idea was to get started on this new track for now. Two tracks attached - one Backing only, the other with a quick fill in for soloing. (To be worked on for sure) Any how, as usual, I would appreciate your comments. Many thanks.

Did another cut with a better drum track.
This might be more interesting. Boogie style. Will need to work on the lead to get out of the usual. Thanks for your comments. JPB http://soundcloud.com/jpbluestring/little-boogie-1 http://soundcloud.com/jpbluestring/little-boogie-2

Decided to dust off the Bass tonight and added one track to it!
This is getting fun but I need to push up the lead definitively. See 2nd cut. JPB http://soundcloud.com/jpbluestring/little-boogie-1-1 http://soundcloud.com/jpbluestring/little-boogie-2-1 |

JPB http://soundcloud.com/jpbluestring/little-boogie-3 Sounds amazing!!!! Very fat and nice sound! So how about we will do jam back and forth over your track? What is the chord progression? -------------------- |

Anything wrong with my backing? see post 108 above?
Got a track from EZdrummer, added my rhythm and created a bass line with the Bass. JPB http://soundcloud.com/jpbluestring/little-boogie-1-1 |

Sorry I should have included a backing track that loops more easily.
I think this one will likely be better for looping in the DAW. Still learning I guess. JPB http://soundcloud.com/jpbluestring/little-boogie-contd-backing

Little_boogie.mp3 ( 1.48MB )
Number of downloads: 86For the solo I have used 3 different pentatonic combinations! I played different pentatonics over each chord Over E5 I got E minor pentatonic in this position:  Over A5 A minor  Over B5 B minor  Over C5 I used G minor pentatonic close to E minor shape  If you can record your take using the same shapes would be awesome!  -------------------- |

Oh my...
Did my take but I am not really satisfied with my backing. There is a poor transition and that makes things difficult for adding a lead part when looping. Anyhow, I guess this is something I have to learn to do. I loved your lead - it was really inspiring (although challenging to follow!!) Now I have to think about getting more creative if you see what I mean. I would appreciate your comments. Many thanks Alex. JPB http://soundcloud.com/jpbluestring/little-boogie-with-alex-take2 |

Many thanks Alex. JPB http://soundcloud.com/jpbluestring/little-boogie-with-alex-take2 You did a great job! I would suggest adding more drive to your sound or bring it a little bit up! Also let's try to start combining two pentatonics We will do E minor and B minor pentatonics That's what we will get: E minor in this position And B minor in this position Try to combine them together and create licks using both shapes for example: This is a combination of all 2 pentatonics It's almost a scale but a little bit different  Try it out and let me know how it feels!
