Zombo challenge July 2006

[zombo]

So here it is I am sorry I got carried away with this on to start it off but I love these slow jams where you can add feeling to it all!
I would say we all do a minute on this track that means 3 after my stint then I will put it up again for another 4 players so we can all have a blast!

Have fun Zombo

[zeusse]

ok john I'm up for this one

[zombo]

Ok then its like this up till now all the Z's again eh ?

1) Zombo
2) Zeusse

[ZappaFan]

Woohoo stick another Z on that list

[Six]

How about adding a SixWheelzzzzzz to it.

[Rob]

Yea john count me in!! For the second one.

[Danny Danzi]

Zombo....that ruled man! I really dug your tone and feel here bro...very nicely done! I don't know whether to cry or hump you. LOL!!! Ok ok, I'll just cry instead. :p This track rules too. Any chance of getting it without any solo's on it so I can jam to it?

[Steve Zane]

I'm in too..another z's

[ZappaFan]

Help !!!!!!!!!! Man I started recording with this BT just to get something sorted, wow !!! :wall: :wall: Those key changes had me lost, anyone got any help or advice on where this goes? Here a little sample noodle I did, then I got lost after this bit........ DOH !!!

HELP !!!!!!!!!!

BTW this BT is just so flaming good !!!! Zombo you are a star mate :thumb:

[Mr Smith]

Some soulful playing there John, very nice mate, you always bring something new to the jams dude

[stevedak]

yesssss I'm loving this bt, please give me a spot in the second jam!!! John, great hearing that Zombotone and those killer Zombolicks again, we've missed you mate...Zap, your bit was sounding absolutely perfect, was it just the last few chords that are throwing you??

[ZappaFan]

Yes mate it is, matbe it's because I am a bit tired too. Perhaps I should leave it till I have a clearer head tomorrow LOL rather than bang my head against the wall tonight. I quite often struggle with these key changes, probabaly down to my lack of theory knowledge. The bass seems to be leading the key change too. In some places the chord stays the same and the bass changes, putting in a different key / mode. Maybe I am just making hard work of it. :wall:

[zeusse]

Ok here's my meager little bit I'm sorry John I ain't got much on this one I should have noodled a bit like Neil did but I don't think I would have got anymore until later in the week and I don't want to hold things up

[Six]

Great playing from John as always and there's no mistaking that trademark tone... lovely stuff.

Eric sounding very good too, excellent playing and superb tone, that GNX4 is clearly one top piece of kit, not sure why you feel you need a 2101!

Finally Zap, your sample piece was really very nice. I think the early hours were affecting your hearing rather than your playing, honestly in the clear light of day it sounds great to me but I know what you mean about trying to do something when tired, it just begins to get frustrating.

You guys are always raising the bar and I'm no good at the high-jump, I can see I'm really going to have to work hard on this and that's why I love this place so much... we're always pushing each other to new levels.

[ZappaFan]

Ok here's my meager little bit I'm sorry John I ain't got much on this one I should have noodled a bit like Neil did but I don't think I would have got anymore until later in the week and I don't want to hold things up

By the tone of this post I get the impression that weren't too pleased with you bit on this Eric. I have to say that whilst the playing is .... errr .... okay. I do think that if you had spent a bit more time on it you would have come up with something that you would have been more pleased with. IMPO I think with this BT you have to spend some time thinking about where it's going and what needs to be done. I for one wouldn't have minded waiting. After all Zombo only does this once a month so we have loads of time to get into this.

I think you should take your time and revisit this mate.

I know some will think I am being picky here, but I think that spending the time, if there's time available, is far more important than getting something you aren't happy with.

I'll hang fire on this for a while and let you decide what you want to do eric.

I am certainly going to take my time anyways.

Laters.

[zeusse]

Your absolutely right Zap I told John I'd have something up last night so just wanted to keep my promise...If you guys wouldn't mind I'd love to have a few more days to come up with a better noodle on this one....you can let me know I got an idea of where I want this to go but wasn't finding the proper stucture. I only had a few hours to noodle yesterday and I should have let John know I needed a couple of days.....you gentlemen deserve a better effort and I apologize for that :oops:

And Thanks Neil your honesty is appreciated Satriani usually takes more than three hours to record a tune....I think

[ZappaFan]

Hey mate I wasn't for one minute saying what you did was a poor effort. I guess you just spoil us most of the time. Go for it mate, IMO you should take as much time as you need. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

BTW no apologies necessary mate.

[ini]

Hm, to be honest I liked eric's part, no need to apoligize here,
the legato thing at the end was very cool.

[zombo]

I think there are more in it too, I went to an F# after that and then lost the next bits. but i'll have it sussed soon.

[Master Tang]

[zombo]

Hi Rob it will be the same one actually I will send it to you so you can start on it !!

[zombo]

Is everything ok Zap haven't heard from you with your part yet just asking not putting pressure on you ?

[ZappaFan]

Is everything ok Zap haven't heard from you with your part yet just asking not putting pressure on you ?

Yeah I am doing just fine Zombo. I had a chat with Zeusse and he is going to have another go at his bit first, he said it should be up by wednesday. I'll then tag my bit onto it.

[zeusse]

Ok guys this is my final instalment on this one I think its a tiny bit better than the other one maybe I'm just being picky sorry for the hold up :-?

[Six]

Great work Eric.

I still think your first effort was excellent though :-)

[zombo]

Yep nice one Zeusse may the jamming continue !!

[Steve Zane]

You two did a fantastic job. John I loved your tone , melody and feel was just amazing. I've ejoyed listening.

Eric , What can I say you get better every day! The feel , tone and those harmonics of yours was just brilliantly done.

I love those kind of bt where we can realy show our feelings.

Thanks John for that nice bt.

[ZappaFan]

Sorry for the delay on getting my bit done guys, been very busy workwse, but I will hopefully have mine posted up tomorrow.

[Rob]

John can you let me have this backer so I can do my bit and it will be ready to post up as soon as this one is done. Im busy to with 3 kids a job and a life but I have already found time to record 30 seconds for our monthly jam no problems. Thanks mate

[zombo]

Will do it right now Rob but you get longer than 30 seconds my mate, the song is split into 4 for each player so you can make yourself famous this time !!

[ZappaFan]

Well here goes nothing..... :wall:

[ini]

Nice tone mate.

Trying out some Guitar Rig?

[Rob]

sounding great so far guys!!

[ZappaFan]

Nice tone mate.

Trying out some Guitar Rig?

No thats just off my GT6, I might give the guitar rig a run out on another track though when I have got used to it

[ini]

I see, that GT6 does its work well too.

[zeusse]

Beautiful Neil and your tone was really good and had that warm tube feel to it.....a rep. point is in order

And now just our new Z member Zixwheels can finish this off in style...but after this jam we take the Z back...lol

[Rob]

very processed imo.

[ZappaFan]

I best have another go at it then, oh well back to the drawing board

[Rob]

oh well even after 30 years you can still get it wrong.

[zombo]

I loved it Zap some gorgeous phrasing in there mate I loved the way you dealt with the change in it! I must admit it's not too easy and you did it sovereign my friend !
It's sixwheels next I am sure you will be just as good as the rest !

[Rob]

Cool piece Zap my friend... it's nice to hear you approach things from a different angle and I think you definately did that this time :thumb:
