[zombo]

[Master Tang]

What a cool backer!

You guys should have fun on this one!

Best of luck to the players/competitors:-)

[Steve Zane]

Ok here is my solo !!!??? it was a quick one. I won't be here for 2 days.
I hope you guys have fun!

[Steve Zane]

I thought it's now or never so before I go on my holiday I'd do it great track Steve I always say he can't top it but he has again great track !!!
Hey what can I say again...Alway great stuff from you john! Hope we can have a real jam one day!

[zombo]

Hey what can I say again...Alway great stuff from you john! Hope we can have a real jam one day!

Great stuff Steve I really enjoyed your solo man I would love to do a jam with you sometime !!

[zeusse]

Hey John you must be reading my mind or something the hammerons at the end is what I did on mine so I'm gonna go back to the drawing board on my ending but your was killer dude

[zeusse]

Very cool Steve I like the different tones your using and what impresses the crap out of me is you get it out of that little amp I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it for myself at your place...:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[Myuzishin]

I love these backings you come up with Zaney, I may poke this one with the 'stupid stick'. That chromatic ending is gonna gimme fits tho....

[Steve Zane]

Come on guys ! we need more poeple in this competition.

[zeusse]

Ok Steve I had some ideas bouncing around my empty noggin and came up with this I have another one but it wouldn't be finished in time the way I would want it so I'm going with this one. If the other gets done at some point I'll post it in the music posts.....E is a bad key for me if you got some new stuff in F#,B or even D that would be cool if you could..;)

Eric the was fantasctic...I like the little picking notes in the back.I also like the tones you used on this one. The only thing is that the guitar is a bit too loud for the backing track but it's one of my favorite one on this bt...even from ohter forrum! Great job Eric :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[gil2010]

Hi there Zane 72,

I thought I'd give this solo competition a try. I used an old '79 les paul custom on this one, so no whammy bars here. Hope it's okay.

More I'm listening to your solo the more I love it! Adictive stuff Eric. The melodie is the winning key in your solo!

[stevedak]

gonna give this one a go tonight, love the bt Steve, superb as always!!

[stevedak]

here's my go at it, once again Steve your great bt inspired me to do some stuff outside of my ordinary twiddling, I love the way your structure your tracks!! :thumb: :thumb:

Edit: did a little remix, wasn't too happy with the first...I never am! LOL

Jeez !!! This is antother killer one! Nicely constructed no doubt well played.
I like the way you did the hamory in the second pattern and the melodie.
The end was unique and nicely done. Great job Steve!

Excuse my English guys..sometimes it's dificult to express my self like I want.

[zeusse]

here's my go at it, once again Steve your great bt inspired me to do some stuff outside of my ordinary twiddling, I love the way your structure your tracks!! :thumb: :thumb:

Love it bud! You never dissappoint! But a question did you find this track to be a bit testing? I know I did but that's what makes it a great track..Steve keeps me thinking with these backers at first listen you think you got something and then when you really get into it what you thought you had you have to totally rethink it....ok I need beer now

[gil2010]

gil2010

Yeah, this sure is a cool place to be... it's like a melting-pot of ideas, styles and techniques. Everyone who hangs around here for any length of time will improve as a player.

[Myuzishin]

Still got room on this one? I may have something up by tonight or tomorrow morning

[zeusse]

Thanks Zeusse!! No problem about the dude thing, it's okay!!

gil2010

So I'm still slow on the uptake you are female axe slinger? If yes its about time we hear from the ladies it might keep me out of the gutter...LOL ...OK maybe not I'm just not easy to tame...so my wife sais

[zeusse]

Great stuff Zeusse loved it man you make it a hard competition man wow the ending was awesome !!

Thanks John I was just trying to keep up with all the other fabulous work..your right dude its getting damm hard their is just too much good talent on this site.........I love it!!!!

You people are the best:thumb:

[gil2010]

Hi Zeusse,

Yes, I'm a girl axe slinger. I wasn't sure if you guys would mind if I hung out on the forum and joined in on some jamming.

gil2010

Mind ??? Why ??? Just get jamming along with the rest of us, it's all about guitars here, and lots of cool people too as you'll find out.

[stevedak]

Love it bud! You never dissappoint! But a question did you find this track to be a bit testing? I know I did but that's what makes it a great track..Steve keeps me thinking with these backers at first listen you think you got something and then when you really get into it what you thought you had you have to totally rethink it....ok I need beer now

Thanks Eric, I thought yours was killer too, in fact Steve and John both blew me away as well, and Gil2010 really made a fantastic introduction for herself! As for if it was testing, only so much in that I didn't want to just do the "same ole same ole" on it, Steve's backings always have a way a making me think a little more outside of the ordinary, well outside of what I would ordinarily do anyway LOL...hmm I think I'll join you in that beer now...:thumb:

[zeusse]

Hi Zeusse,

Yes, I'm a girl axe slinger. I wasn't sure if you guys would mind if I hung out on the forum and joined in on some jamming.

gil2010

Well I'm glad we got that sorted out not that it matters I wish more women would play I'm trying to get my daughter going but she's got that social life thing going and we wouldn't want to cramp that now would we....maybe she will come around next year in high school when she finds out how many boys are in the guitar class....and maybe when she hears you she'll get inspired:-)

[gil2010]

Thanks guys! It's been a lot of years playing and I just want to jam in peace! You are a cool bunch of dudes!

Absolutely right.

You'll find we're all too busy getting over excited about fully-floating-double-locking-trems and having debates about whether alder makes a better body than basswood to be worried about gender.

[zeusse]

you forgot the beer debate...hehe but then that definately has no gender...LOL..............mmmmmmm lager or ale?

[Six]

Well I wasn't going to join in on this one but what the hell... can't let a silly thing like a lack of inspiration get in the way, so here's another that probably sounds just like the last one I did :lol:

2587

[Myuzishin]

Here's my cheezy attempt :wall:

Couldn't hit harmonics fer shizz today, but hopefully you get the general idea.

Recommend MusicMatch for listening, cuz WMP jus plane sux.

Peace!

[Myuzishin]

WOW! Just listened to everybody else's, I'm the proverbial toast I fear.

Great job everybody!

Get real Phil that did not sound like the last one those runs you did were an indication that you are a lot better than you think.....almost thought Satch made a guest appearance on your track:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: And some would think you just have a flashy guitar..LOL

[zeusse]

Hey Kyle is MusicMatch a link cause I'm not familiar with it...but this still sounded good my man

[Myuzishin]

Its a highly superior media player. I use it for all my .wav - .mp3 conversions too. It ferkin rox!

www.musicmatch.com

[Six]

I don't think you're gonna be toast with playing like that Myuzishin... I really like your phrasing.

And Eric... thanks for your comments.

I don't really have a problem with my playing in a 'technical ability' sense, thanks to all you guys I'm making improvements all the time. The problem I seem to be having at the moment is transfering that ability into something that sounds musical.

[Steve Zane]

Come on guys...we at least need 3 more players! You know you want :mrgreen:

[bwdavis99]

I may have a go in the next day or two, I'm almost ready to test a new rig
I'm putting together for Rick's Acoustic challenge, and Zuesse I'm planning to do a Neil Young cover for that one, if you have a favorite send it to me and I'll give it a go if I know it.

I have a ton of Neil Young favorites and its hard to choose but I think I'd like to hear Comes a Time...don't know what I'm doing for the acoustic challenge might have a go at Needle and the Damage Done

[Steve Zane]

We still need 3 more players.....:nervous: Who is barve enough to do it :mrgreen:

[Guitarpima]

Zombo that is some really cool stuff going on I like your riffs during the climax.

Zane I like the tone and your contrast is really cool.

Zeusse is that cheating putting two parts down? Yours was very soulful.

Gil2010, Nice entrance to the site. I like your use of motivs. very nice.

Steve Dak you are an amazing player. I kept thinking of Jason Becker.

Six wheel. Awsome job! Great ending. It is a good jam but you seem to expect more with that buildup and the dive made it work well.

Augmyus that was nice and creepy at the begining and a great contrast into the next section.

I will put something up tommorow. I think I am a little scared though. There is some great stuff here. I think I am brave enough.

[zombo]

Thanks guys! It's been a lot of years playing and I just want to jam in peace! You are a cool bunch of dudes!

gil2010

Hi Gil I cant download anything at the moment till I get back so I will listen then great you joined us Gil !!

I don't know if there's a rule yet on adding extra stuff to the solo competition but I've done it before...lol Steve might have to chime in and verify if there are any rules at all...The way I see it if you can add 20 different things and it works than its all right with me..I could have solo'd thru the whole thing but I always try to be different thats why were here right!......I would shudder to think we have rules that constrict creativity on this site...but I can see you just wanted to make sure...hehe:lol: I only cheat on my taxes honest..LOL

[Guitarpima]

Only poking fun there Zuesse. working on mine now. I will post mine later tonight.

[zeusse]

Don't poke I'm ticklish....hehehe:lol:

[Steve Zane]

Ok guys , two more days and I will link all solo's to polls...:poke:

[Guitarpima]

Ok here is my entry. Take a walk on the wierd side, if you dare. I think Jimi would like it. I hope you all do.

BTW I am a day late but I got to it later than I wanted to. Enjoy
