Excellent zeusse dude!

[Mr Smith]

ooooh I like it, I'll have a shot...

Awesome bro, it's not as easy as it sounds, it has an odd tempo..

[Mr Smith]

Has anyone tryed anything on this BT yet? I thought the beat was a bit hard to understand.. still a cool BT though.

[ZappaFan]

I have had a go at this, cool BT mate, but it needs some inspirational playing to do it justice.

Dang I wish I had some sort of contraption to record stuff. I really like that backing track.

[Steve Zane]

Excellent bt Pete. I'm in too. I don't I'll be competing with the others but I'll do it for fun.

[Mr Smith]

Dang I wish I had some sort of contraption to record stuff. I really like that backing track.

What I do is plug my guitar into the Mic socket on my Tape Deck and have the Tape Deck go into the Mic socket on the PC. For some reason I can't plug my Amp straight into the PC - I've just never got it to work that way dunno why. Anyway it works fine with the tape deck as long as you have the Pause, Rec and Play pressed.

Excellent Zane I'm looking forward to hearing it bro! I was having a thrash at it tonight but its 2am now so I doubt I'll have anything finished.

Pete

[zeusse]

I'll have mine up tonight just got home had some errands to do its Friday and the line was long at the beer store....lol

[stevedak]

I spent a few hours with this one last night, and man it's tough, my head and fingers are all cobwebby...but I should have something up by the time the weekend's out, hopefully.

[Steve Zane]

Pete, do we have to play alone on this one or each have some minutes for a part?

[Mr Smith]

Pete, do we have to play alone on this one or each have some minutes for a part?

It's a short track Zane so record over the entire thing and post er up bud!

Pete

[stevedak]

ok, cleared the cobwebs out a bit...took a little different approach with this one, kinda scary playing with clean tones...all the f-ups stick out like sore thumbs!! Anyways, hope you like it.

Hell yeah bro! You had to go and set the bar real high didn't you! Superb Steve! Your a very thoughtful player mate, rep point coming your way..

Pete

[Steve Zane]

Steve , that was excellent and will make it inpossible for me to compete with that. You have a big versatile style of playing. Rep point coming your way!

[zeusse]

Damm Steve just when I thought I had something you come up with that. I might as well fold on the competition end of things but I'll post my little twangy guitar thing later tonight........Beautiful dude!

[zombo]

I will sit out this one but as always excellent playing boys great stuff

[Mr Smith]

Come on zeusse just think Thomas the tank engine LOL... either that or crack another beer! :-D

[zeusse]

I think I can, I think I can..........he quietly sais as he cracks another beer

[zeusse]

Ok this is all I can get for this one I broke a g string and didn't have a spare..and it was a challenge so I played around the missing string on the last lick. I know I could have used another guitar but after a pile of beers I didn't feel like getting out of the chair....I think Steve has got this one wrapped up anyways..lol

[ZappaFan]

Great work there Zeusse, loved that, has got a kind of Larry Carlton / Steve Khan vibe going there. Loved the tones too.

Yes my Friend...that is one of the best I'v heard from you. Excellent track Zeusse and your sound is one of my favorite.:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
rep point coming your way.

[Leezor]

Good job both of you! Very nicely done on a difficult backing (well, for me at least :grin:)

I guess I'll give it a shot, but it won't be anything spectacular :lol:

[Leezor]

Ok this is reeaallyy terrible and not really a true entry in the 'competition,' but I figured I'll embarass myself and post it anyways :-) This was a pretty hard backing for me, so after awhile I just got so frustrated I didn't really care to fix my mistakes (especially around 1:30)...lol

[Mr Smith]

Hey zeusse bro that was damn fine play'n man!

Kudos to you bro for giving it a go, you should be proud of it dude, your timing was pretty damned good mate and thats the absolute main thing with this kind of rhythm. (someone please tell me how to spell bloody rhythm! LOL)
You also had some nice licks in there too mate.

Sounded great to me Leezor

Pete

[zeusse]

That was great Leezor don't kick yourself for that its a tough piece and I struggled with it your not giving yourself enough credit for a fine piece of work I'm glad you gave it a go....thats what makes the jams great because it pushes to do better at things we might not normally play....I know my rythem needed work.....I don't know either if I spelled that right Pete....lol

[joebaxi2]

sorry chaps ,tried it but cant make that funky vibe ,, i make it sound like a breaking down tractor ,, oh well back to me slowwwwwww blues backers .lol lol

[stevedak]

Excellent tracks guys, loved the different vibe and tones you both put in...funny how the different playing totally changes the flavor of the track! Great stuff :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

ps... R-H-Y-T-H-M ;-)

Thanks Steve, I spell if different every time in the hope that at least one out of 4 times it might be correct :-D

[zeusse]

Thanks Steve my spelling teacher in the 3rd grade would have whipped me if she saw how I was spelling that....F... her she's probably dead now anyways..........cranky old battleaxe
