[Rob]

[Rob]

Bloody hell john if someone had farted I would have missed your bit LOL your playing lately has changed a bit,in your jam clips anyway, would you agree you seem to be trying something different (and pulling it off) is it some exotic scale you have been working on? Great BT once again.

[Highway Star]

Damn!

[Shep]

its stempy before me zappa :)

[ZappaFan]

its stempy before me zappa :)

I was thinking that "Wouldn't know where to start to follow that!" meant that Stempy wasn't going to. I'll leave it for Zombo to sort out.

[Rob]

Hey visco much improved mate nice. Goin well guys

[Six]

Can you offer advice on which software to use to convert the mp3 file into wave so I can get it into Cakewalk Guitar Tracks?

When I've finished with it Guitar Tracks will offer the option to convert to mp3 for upload/burn to disc e.t.c. but will not do mp3 to wave conversion and will not accept mp3 direct.

If you can help me out then I'd love to join in the fun.

[Stempy]

You could try here http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/

Great cos it's free

[ZappaFan]

I think we are getting a wee bit off thread here guys. So i thought it time to bring it back, just a quick noodle here, felt like i was bit rushed and didn't really have time in the slot to get anything going, but hey, here it is.

ZappaFan

[ini]

hey that's nice mate, oriental, huh?

cool stuff.

[stevedak]

WOW haven't listened to this one in a bit, it's sounding excellent! :wall: nice high energy all around :wall: Zap I love the harmonic minor stuff there, I was originally going to do something in that mode but decided against it, glad I did now, it wouldn't have held a candle to your bit!

[Shep]

Mr Phrygian Dominant is in the house! That was lush and exotic Zappa!

[ZappaFan]

Thanks guys, i do try and be a bit different now and again, i still love doing the bluesy stuff but it's nice to let go on something a bit more adventurous sometimes. :lol: :thumb:

[Rob]

Zap your playing is changing for the better, lessons, been practicing more or on different stuff? Anyway very nice fitted in smoothly.

[ZappaFan]

Zap your playing is changing for the better, lesons, been practicing more or on different stuff? Anyway very nice fitted in smoothly.

Actually have probably played less Rob. No lessons either. Just a new found confidence to have a go i think. Was always worried before about not being good enough, and that came through in the playing, a nervousness that makes everything go very static. But now, dont give a monkeys and i feel i can have a go at anything, if it comes off, all well and good, if it dont, tough tittie eh ? But it seems to be working for now.

Anyway thanks for the comment mate always great to have your feedback. :thumb:

Stempy, thanks for the advice, Audacity worked a treat.
Zombo, I'll join in on the second one if that's o.k., I prefer the BT on that one.

Cheers

Hey Sixwheels that shouldn't be a problem. Our great jam-master the Flyingzombo is away on Holiday ( vacation ) for the next two weeks and has asked me to oversee these jams in his absence. I'll line you up with a slot on the other right away.

ZappaFan

[Mr Smith]

Ok heres the final part done ;-)

Seem I've got about 30 freakn minutes to wait for it to upload I thought i'd make some comments..

Firstly this was heaps of fun for me do'n this BT because I don't usually play much in the way of metal and this is an excellent track to blow out the cobwebs with if ya know what I mean.

Secondly I wanted to say I had no idea just how good you guys really are and its a pleasure to jam out with yawl, Zappa surprised me at the end with a feckn beutiful tone and supurb playing with real feeling and he was using a suitable mode to boot! It was an honour to finish this :thumb:

And thirdly it's finished uploading! yay! :butt:

[zeusse]

The cobwebs are gone dude gigantic ending right on!.....see now you can hit us with more Metal.................Yaaaaaaaaaa

[bigdoug]

that was a top job there guys welldone :thumb:

[ZappaFan]

Great finish Tomahawk well done mate. Just out of interest what axe and tone set up were you using. I really like that bit of sizzle in the tone.

BTW thanks for the cool comments again. I think everyone did an excellent job on this.

[ini]

Just listened to the final version,
great stuff from all of you guys, nice finish pete!

Thanks to everyone who participated in this jam, great job,
gonna do that again in the next challenge.

[Mr Smith]

Great finish Tomahawk well done mate. Just out of interest what axe and tone set up were you using. I really like that bit of sizzle in the tone.

BTW thanks for the cool comments again. I think everyone did an excellent job on this.

Thanks Zap, I had to make a new tone to play that one becuase nothing I had was suitable, it needed something that could break through. I use an RP50 but I think my new amp warms up the tone a bit (Ashton GA100H). Using a smidge of Chorus, Delay, Reverb, and Distortion (naturally), I cant remember the Amp model I chose. If I had my power supply I'd have used my whawah too, maybe.
If you want to know exactly what the tone setting was Zap I can check it out when I finish work.

As far as Axe goes its an Ibanez body and cheap Ibanez pups with an even cheaper neck but has a nice feel to it although the fretts now need replacing. D'Adario 9's and dunlop 1.5 mm pick.

Speaking of Tone Zap, I thought your tone was awesome, what settings are you using (Pod I presume)?

Your welcome mate..

Thanks guys for your comments :-)

[ZappaFan]

Speaking of Tone Zap, I thought your tone was awesome, what settings are you using (Pod I presume)?

No Toma, I use a Boss GT6 and the tone is one of the stock preset patches called "Crying" I'll check it out and see what the settings are as regards amp model etc., and let you know.

I use my trusty USA Fat Strat Texas Special on the bridge Seymour Duncan, strings ar D'Addorio XL 9-42's and the pick is a Gibson Medium. I cranked the volume and tone up full on the guitar too. Thats about it.

ZappaFan

[Mr Smith]

No Toma, I use a Boss GT6...

ZappaFan

That would be good if you could find out the exact params, then I could try and make a hack of it on my RP50.. I'll post the params from the RP50 tone I was using for ya..

I've never owned a Strat although I've played a few and lerv em but sadly they cost dollars.

[Six]

Very impressive stuff by everyone involved.
I really enjoy listening to the different way in which each player approaches it, showing that everyone interprets the same BT differently.

Congratulations to every concerned, a job well done.

[Highway Star]

Hi Guys,

Just listened to the "final product" and hell, theres some damned fine playing in there and some great interpritations of what the BT was all about. Well done one and all!
