[ZappaFan]

Rob asked me to close the original thread for this and get it started again, so here goes.

Jam #2

1. Stew
2. Viscolex
3. Bluesgeek
4. Guitarpima
5. Rick

It splits up like this

1 - 24 bars
2 - 24 bars
3 - 16 bars

5 - 8 bars

Here's the backer

http://www.6stringheaven.com/forum/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=3109&d=1162749875

If you are on this list lets get this started.

Please keep the levels as close to the ones on the backer and watch your timings as far as the number of bars goes.

If you cant make it onto this one shout up now and we will redo the order.

Hopefully we can get these done pretty sharpish as we have all had time to jam around with this.

Kiana........cool name Stew. Wheres it from?

[Viscolex]

ok here goes:

[bigdoug]

visco your getting better all the time, :smile:

[Bluto]

Yep. Great stuff mate. :lol:

[Stew]

Kiana........cool name Stew. Wheres it from?Thanks Dan...we have 2 kids now Nyah and Kiana. My wife is Asian so we wanted something differnet for both girls....Nyah was a character is mission impossible 2 and Kiana is the female equivalent of Keanu adn means peaceful...at least we hope that what it means :lol:

[Bluto]

Both really beautiful names Stew. I like names on kids which are a little out of the ordinary and not some of the fashionable ones which are ok at the time but are bloody ridiculous after a few years. Poor things have to live with them for the rest of their lives.:-D

[bluesgeek]

someone give me a shout when its my turn, been very hectic here lately :( got another guitar though :eek:

[Rob]

NIce start visco very bluesy indeed :-)

[ZappaFan]

Seems you are next Stew :woot:

[bluesgeek]

stew's asked me to to swap, my track will be finished in the next few hours - just watching the last episode of Buffy the Vamp Slayer, again, again....

[bluesgeek]

okay, heres my take - thanks to Rob for a great backer, nice and easy to move against, Stew I think you drew the short straw - I didn't know what to do against the middle 8 where it was pretty easy to do this slot :grin: Visco, great start mate :)

oh yeah, recorded clean with my LP :) sometimes it just comes down to the basics, wish it wasn't 2:55am, I would have mic'ed up the peavey DB, it would have pwned the pod ;)

[bigdoug]

loved that BG, a real funky swing to it...can you have funkyswing blues?

[bluesgeek]

sure, BB does it all the time :grin: cheers Doug!

[Guitarpima]

This one is coming along nicely. Good job guys.

[bwdavis99]

Wow Visco great touch and tone. BG I think you really captured the feel of this one.

Barry

[Viscolex]

well done BG, loved the tone and the feel mate, seems like a cool jam so far

[Rob]

love that tone Bluesgeek very nice licks to NEXT UP Guitarpima

[bluesgeek]

cheers guys, that was a good one - a two or three take job! I got that sort of riff thing at the start stuck in my head from the first take and thought I'd nailed it on the second one, did a third to be on the safe side. WARNING: Don't drink wine and record at the same time, couple of glaring fluff ups in there! bah! I really wanted to hit a total contrast to Andy's, it was crying out for that pentatonic riff at the end ;) Looking forward to the end result!

I've got another minor blues backer if anyone wants to have a go at it?

[Guitarpima]

I'll post it later tonight.

Rick is currently in the UK so I guess he wont be doing anythng on this for at least a week

[Guitarpima]

Thanks BD. I had to work out what I was going to do on this one. Not real good with the major mode blues.

[Stew]

Rob I'll try and get my bit done before Rick returns...I turned my PC room apart the other night to rewire and can hardly move for junk just no but will hopefully be back to normality tonight or tommorrow at the latest. :smile:
