The key is E for the first pattern and the second pattern is A I believe.But you can play all patterns in E with out a prob.

[Mr Smith]

Hey Steve this is very cool indeed, I'd jump in on it if my hearing wasn't impared. I can imagine this as a song mate, you should do something with it!

Pete

[Stempy]

Don't mind joining in but let the newbies go first.

[doc]

ok .as you know ive been working on some new things,so confidence isn't at its highest.ill give it a go ,not gonna get any better playin to myself,give me some space if you could tho, let me get a little inspiration from you guys,say 3rd or 4th.thnx ,great backing zane.

[Steve Zane]

Don't mind joining in but let the newbies go first.
Stempy, if you don't mind then your in! ok bro. I'll be making lots of Bt here so don't worry about the newbies they will have many chances.

[Rob]

Ill have a go please feel like putting my LP through its paces

[zeusse]

I'll go if you boys don't hurry my chubby little fingers are gonna go....LOL

[scalemaster]

are all the slots taken? i'm itchin to jam again :)

[Six]

I could be mistaken but I think you'll find there's plenty of space just yet bryan, just jump right in.

[Dum Ba Ba Dum]

Im gonna need to learn a few more scales i think before i can jam along with u guys. Im still trying to master the blues scale and pentatonic at the mo.:lol:

Also how do these jams works, do i hae to download the backing track and record my improvisation over the top, im new to all this stuff. Also do u guys record straight into your PC or do u use a physical recording device

Thanks

[Stew]

Man i have heard every excuse under the sun LOL earache, finger fatigue LOL. Can I join in then despite my piles, athletes foot, heart mumur and lazy left eye? (Hehe my wife is so lucky :wink:)

Seriously though if there is not an uptake in next few days on this one I'll stand in if neccessary. Another cool BT Steve lad!!

You can download software for using to record and yes you then import the downloaded BT into the software and record your track on top and then mix it. Try and catch me and Zap in the jamroom one evening and we'll see what we can sort out software-wise for you and then run through how to set it up :thumb:

[Dum Ba Ba Dum]

[zeusse]

It will be done my BT Master by tonight was noodling on it today should have something shmoozy to get us going.....going for a Max Webster feel

[Highway Star]

Hey! only just read this (15 hours on the road today!! and only a PDA to log in with, it was rubbish!) and... I'm in!! Great!

Farl

[Highway Star]

Im still trying to master the blues scale and pentatonic at the mo. Me too!! LOL

Farl

[Stew]

No worries Steve as i said i'll stay on standby if anyone drops out.

[zeusse]

Ok Steve its more of a intro and riff for this than a solo but I splashed a little of my charm on the end for you and if levels are not up to snuff I can fix it quick for ya. I think this is the best I can do with it I think your original track was clipping a bit

[Viscolex]

very cool zeusse, ill record my bit tommorow

[ZappaFan]

Very cool indeed, man once again that sounded so good ........... REP point I think, plus one for the backer of course to Zane

[Steve Zane]

Wow Eric that was extremly brilliant! Loved it very much fits there perfectly.
Again amazing tone.Love the melody it's completing my bt!
Thanks for playing on it:-)

[zeusse]

Thanks guys everytime a hear any bt I usually here a melody line and thats what I was hearing for that one.

[bwdavis99]

I downloaded audicity, and got my connection working. So I'll have my bearings hopefully soon and be ready for the next one or the one after that anyways. I tried going line out to line in to no avail, so I had a spliter with two RCA's to an 1/8 male, went and bought two convertors to make the RCA's 1/4 inch males and bingo I'm on.

Barry

[scalemaster]

hey zane, have you considered doing 2 jams with the same bt? that would be cool, and more people would be able to jam : )


just a thought though...

btw zeusse that was an awesom beginning for an awesome BT!

[Steve Zane]

I'm open to do it if anyone of you wants to do it. please let me know if some of you wants to do that. Just put your name .

[scalemaster]

well, if anyone else is into it, i'm in.

[Steve Zane]

Eric I was listening for a second time with my head phones and like Zap said for the other jam I hate to say this but the guitar is a bit to loud for the bt.
If you can lower it just a little bit? your bit is just superb . I'm sorry to be a A*****
I was raised in a studio with my brothers so I'm a bit of a A******.
The reason why it's better to fix it is that it will leave more sound power to the other players in this jam.
But if you think it is ok then don't change nothing.

Guys you have to excuse my English writing. It sucks I know.

[ini]

Eric man,
seems like Micky Mouse showed you some amazing riffs there!
Great stuff!

It's amazing how you guys pump out great stuff lately,
seems like I missed something, lol!

And class BT from you too, Steve.

[zeusse]

Thanks ini your comments are always appreciated my friend....And Steve I'll correct my levels and have a new post for ya up in an hour or so, I'm not the best at the level thing and need to advised if things aren't right, that is the kind of criticism I need and a new set of studio monitors...LOL

[Stew]

Eric why not get yourself a good set of studio headphones. I bought a set of AKG studio headphones that are closed type meaning yuo get no sound from outside (can't hear my wife...superb!!!! unless she sneaks up on me I s**t myself) also no sound escapes do they can't hear you and the sound quality is immense.

Stew

Your right Stew I've been a cheap bugger when it comes to that department plus anything that tunes out the wife babbling at me with her chore list is worth the money....LOL On that one today

And here's the new remix I brought the level down should be ok now...I hope

[Steve Zane]

[zeusse]

Sorry Steve I am trying and will get it right at some point...LOL

[Viscolex]

i have to drop out from this one.........

Hey Steve, got my hearing back and listening to this track with my headphones on.. goddam! rock'n BT you made here dude! thump'n bass, just superb mate!

Cheers

Farl

[Highway Star]

Er... I've tried somethindg a bit different... If you think it is not quite what you are looking for Zane thwen let me know and I'll do it again!! LOL

Farl

[ZappaFan]

Well Farley me old matey I think it sounds pretty darn good, only thing is the level, it overpowers that backer a bit. So if you could take the guitar level down a bit it would sound a lot better. I think it fits prety well though, and it certainly is a bit different, which is cool mate.

My 2 pfennigs worth

You know, I thought the same!! The only prob is that I was in a hurry. Kids in bed, too much noise, you know how it goes, so.... I only saved the mix!! LOL I'll do it again tomorrow though!

Farl

[Steve Zane]

Hey Farley!

Excellent job ! what you did is very diferent then what we are used to hear. I like that clean tone and the harmonics! Like Zap said your sound over powers the bt. Thanks for playing on it :-)

Ok Pete your next but can you wait that Farley will repost is rimex?

Thanks Zane, I did this one real quiet as one of my foster lads was in bed and now I listen back it is real loud!! LOL I'll get something re-done a bit earlier tonight so that I can get the mix right. At least I saved the guitar settings!

Farl

[zeusse]

It was cool Farl Its so interesting how everybody has a diffenrent take on things. ya don't change anything but the level loved the tone and style you have on that....8-)

Well, I've changed the lot!! Had to, didn't save the lead alone so... Heres another (similar) one!! LOL Tell me if it stinks! I'm too close to it to tell!

Farl

[zeusse]

Now that was sweet Farl I really like that one a lot more. That one had more feel to it and set better into the mood of the track. Bitchin job!

[Steve Zane]

[ZappaFan]

You guys can start the second jam even if the first one is not finished.

I think it might be better if you were to split these jams into two threads, would be less confusing.

[Mr Smith]

[Stempy]

OOoeerrrr, looks like it's my turn then, I'll try to get something layed down by close of play tomorrow.

[Stempy]

Staying on the theme of something a bit different, here's my addition. If you hate it then I'll do it again in a more conventional manner. Sorry it's a bit late but I stuck a new drive in me pooter and it didn't go as smoothly as hoped. What's more my strings are absolutely fooked and I didn't get time to replace them.

That is different indeed ! I like the melodics scales you've used for the second pattern It sounded a little bit Arabic. Thanks for playing on it mate.

[doc]

im goin this tuesday for 3 weeks so i wont be online or be able to record...

[stevedak]

WOW wow wow I love the different approaches everyone is taking on this one!

Eric--excellent Queensryche-meets-Max Webster opening
Farl--bringing the mood down beautifully, very Floydish, superb
Stempy--Stempy Comes Alive!! was that real talkbox or an effect? Either way, it rocked!
Doc--Great chops and tone, loved the sixties-type tremolo vibe

It's gonna be hard to come up with something original for part 2 of this one, with all this great stuff you guys are doing!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[zeusse]

Awesome job there Stempy I gotta try my talkbox thing if I can figure it out...yes it really was cool:thumb:

[zeusse]

well here it is guys.as you know ive been working on some things so dont be to critical.great job up to now hope i didnt ruin it for ya .please let me know where i can improve,still not completely happy with what i came up with here.thanx for letting me take part.looking forward to hearing the rest.

Nothing needed to change here sounded pretty good...I don't always like some of my posts either but we are our worst critic

[megaverb]

ill have mine spot posted tomorrow for the second jam sry its taking so long have been having a few puter problems but ill get it posted tomorrow

[Highway Star]

Not ruined at all, real cool in fact! Loved the tone and original sound but it does have a bit of an abrupt end! LOL Next guitar in should sort that I guess. All in all another real good original approach!

Farl

[Highway Star]

Stempy mate, that was real cool, wasn't expecting that and was pleasently suprised!

FArl
