Here's my take on it, my approach was to listen to this backing twice....roughly figure out the middle portion as i kinda liked it and retained the same as the bassline. The rest, all improvisation....little bloopers here and there :?

[piano_ex]

This is rare. Never seen you post your playing before!

Thanks for posting.

I like the vibes from the start.. its like chill out and kinda laid back. The tone is extremely smooth, not my cup of tea, but its something nonetheless - you have little pick attack, did you roll off your tone? I find it harder to play when the tone is rolled off, ears don't perceive the tones that ought to be since i seldom roll off the tone - confuses me!

Anyway, I thought you got sort of lost from 0:35 onwards... hehe... dood! You started smooth but got shaky from then. Some bends are out of tune, no biggie, pretty easy to work on... I hear some chromatics but you sound apprehensive doing them - unfamiliar territory?

 

[ShredCow]

CK, I DIG THIS.

The intro is such a slap in the face! I like the intro and 0:14 - 0:19 - very very very cool.

The arppegio @ 0:28 is spot on and beautifully done.

0:36 - dude, what were u thinking? :lol: Like u ran out of ideas?

I liked the change in tone from 0:43 onwards, where the 2nd guitar comes in. The licks are still great and you're just looking out of the box.

Think you lost it here and there a little and at the "chorus" onwards... Tough to just sustain doing weirdy stuff huh.

 

[piano_ex]

voice? can wad =)

do scat singing?

 

[killinghall]

That was a interesting piano take...love the Hammond-like organ sound...wished it was in stereo though!

 

[hub37]

really interesting to hear how different people play the same backing track :wink:

some of those sound like it's played by the famous rock stars we know, great skill

Shredcow: I ran out of ideas and went blank after the middle part Ur take has a great phrasing at the middle 0:41

Please give some slack for the muffled recording ...he has promised to improve

Fingers >>> Vintage strat copy neck pup >>> BD2 modz >>> BF3 >>> amp >>> mic >>> pc >>> i think :?

 

[skink83]

Thanks for the reply. I totally agree, at least for the last half, I don't know where I'm going. Well goes to show sometimes planning what to play before actually recording is always key haha. Yeah, the bends which were off were the ones where I was lost especially. Anyway, thanks for the reply, I thought it was helpful.

Tone wise, the attack was probably killed by the mild compression I was using. Like you said, smooth in the beginning, well come to think of it, maybe I was gunning for that feel but got lost along the way. Haha, oh well, lost sheep, bahhhhh.

 

[piano_ex]

Killinghal .... yups!! love that sound also =P

yea ... i'm dissapointed cuz it's not stereo also ... but my equipment limitates me ... hahaha =) ... so ..... that's how it got recorded .....

 

[RoRK]

Sounds like you guys are having fun. I feel that all the entries are commendable. My vote goes to bam - excellent stuff!

Cheers

[edo83]

my pick would be bam's take, if he could plan and organise...it could be a quirky funky track Then again, all efforts appreciated guys...it's great to share and listen to other perspectives :wink:

 

[NanoShred]
