Zombo Challenge December - Part 1

[zombo]

So here it is sorry I am a bit late this time I have started this off with my new Strat this time!
Don't shred this one please try and keep it clean you don't have to by the way just try and keep it mellow! I will be doing a part II with a different backing track I got from Rlee it is a more melodic bluesy sort of thing!
This first track may prove to be a challenge so listen to it first and try to jam with it before you say yes, many of you drop out of a challenge because you find it difficult so think this one over first!
Put your name up whereverer you want it to go it's a free for all!!

The track is in D and as you can see I have started it let me know if you like it!

Part I

1) Zombo X

Is that backer based on 'Help The Poor' ? (Robert Cray I think)

[ZappaFan]

Man I love that backer Zombo. Very Steely Dan ........ my kinda stuff. Just going to have a quick noodle around and will let you know about a slot ......... I am sure I will have one, but like you said, noodle first and make sure eh ?

[zombo]

[Pollin]

Is there any way i can laid some slow melodic guitar in there?

[ini]

I'll give it a go too if that's ok.

[Guitarpima]

I think I could put the LPC on this and make something smooth. Maybe even fingerpick it? Cound me in.

[Steve Zane]

Ok , you can put in :-)

[bluesgeek]

Yup me too please :D

[Bluto]

I wouldn't mind having my go if thats all right with you guys....I gotta break my duck sooner or later:nervous:

The Strat sounds spot on, well cool Zombo!! I'll be in as well BTW if there's a slot left!

Farl

[stevedak]

any room left on #2? I'm in if there is...

[zeusse]

Fit me in behind Stevedak if not we could make a #3

[Stempy]

I'll join the bluesy melodic one if there's room, there again, maybe I should hear it first.

This might work out better if you created 3 threads for it Zombo, otherwise it might get a tad confusing

[Rob]

heres my bit sorry john for delay,used an lp in the neck position with a jazzy sort of a tone.

[ini]

hey rob nice job there, cool fat tone

[ZappaFan]

Here's my bit. Played on my Strat - Neck and middle pups through Guitar Rig 2. Tried summat different here not sure whther it came off or not, i'll let you guys be the judge of that.

Cheers.

Zapp !!

BTW nice work there Rob got a nice feel and tone to that, enjoyed it very much mate.

[Bluto]

Excellent stuff Neal. I personally loved the tone you got going on there. :thumb:

[ini]

hehe Zap very nice job mate, extremely interesting sound there!

great job.

[ZappaFan]

Thanks fella's :-)

[Guitarpima]

Zombo this is a great BT. I like the tone of your guitar for this.

Love the tone Rob. I always liked the chunky feel the LP's have. Great job. Nice bluesy feel.

I like how you change your sounds and try new ones all the time. top notch playing.

PS. I'll post the start of part II tommorow.

If that last slot is still available I'll take it. I don't normally play this style so it'll be good for me to break out of a rut.

[ZappaFan]

I think that the natural breaks on this backer mean there are only 4 slots per track, so this may need some re-ordering

[Rob]

Thanks guys, having problems with my broadband connection at the moment so I am using works :-) I havent listened to Zaps bit yet but telewest promise to sort me out!!! I will believe it when I see it.

[zombo]

Hrrm see your point I don't have a great deal of time at the moment can somebody sort it for me ?

[Guitarpima]

BTW Zombo.

My son loves watching your avatar. :lol:

[ZappaFan]

Zombo this is a great BT. I like the tone of your guitar for this.

BTW GP thanks for the feedback on the jam so far it's much appreciated.

[bluesgeek]

sure, we can just start a Number 4 and have the last people on each jam (position 5) go in for that one?

[Rob]

Here's my bit. Played on my Strat - Neck and middle pups through Guitar Rig 2. Tried summat different here not sure whther it came off or not, i'll let you guys be the judge of that.

Zapp !!

BTW nice work there Rob got a nice feel and tone to that, enjoyed it very much mate.

Whoo hoo broadband is up to a decent useable speed again, so been able to listen to work so far by you Zap and GP on track 2, Great stuff Zap you never fail to fit in with something that compliments what others have done, plus I thought that track was a tuffy to play over, I know Zombo said it was in D but I still don't know what scale I played :hammer:

Same here Rob, I used some odd phrygian thing again plus some pent / minor bits, not sure which key, somewhere between A and G i think. Seemed to work though. Thanks for the comments mate. 8)

[Guitarpima]

No problem Zappa. I hope Zombo will post the BT untouched. This one sounds like a lot of fun and would like to mess with it.

[ZappaFan]

Me too GP, i'll PM him and ask him for it

[ZappaFan]

Hey Pollin looks like you are up next on this. Get to it young man .........:star:

[Pollin]

Sorry, i cant join this one, i really wanted to, but no....maybe someone can take my place

[ZappaFan]

Sorry, i cant join this one, i really wanted to, but no....maybe someone can take my place

No problem Pollin, we got people queueing up around the world for thsi months jam, I am sure the next in line will take up the challenge.

[ZappaFan]

INI looks like your up next then, get the Ibanez tuned up, the digitech set on smooooooooooooooth and give us your best stuff mate.

[ini]

well, I guess part 1 is finished then.

[Viscolex]

ehm, early warning here, i will not be able to do my part because i fried my sound card, and i have no idea how

but, i can not record anything and the sound only comes out trou one channel one, the other channel is fuzzy

sorry about this

[Highway Star]

Well, if there are four natural sections per backer and Pollin and Visco are out, then I would say it goes like this:

Part I

1) Zombo - Done
2) Rlee111 - Done
3) Zappafan - Done
4) Ini - Done

In fact, part one completely done and very well by all!! LOL

Part II

1) Guitarprima
2) Zane
3) Bluesgeek
4) Bluto

Part III

1) Stevedak
2) Zeusse
3) Stempy
4) Farley

All OK with this??

Farl

[Bluto]

Are we going with the 1st BT ot GP's BT Farl? I take its gonna be the 1st one?

[Highway Star]

Guitarpima has already taken the second one away (http://www.6stringheaven.com/forum/vb/showthread.php?t=3383)

Farl

EDIT: I see what you mean. GP has used a totally different backer!! I'll PM him and ask him to re-start part two of the Zombo challenge and set up a new thread for ir as, after all, Zombo's BT is what we all signed up for.

So, this should be it.

1) Guitarprima
2) Zane - Next
3) Bluesgeek
4) Bluto

So you get to finish No. 2 off Bluto mate!

Farl (again! LOL)

[Highway Star]

I'd just like to say a "Well Done" to all who took part in the first completed December Zombo challenge, Great start by Zombo, cool mellow tones and playing from Rob, a real steely Dan sound (IMHO) and great little runs from Zap and some nice haunting tones and great long runs from Ini.

Cheers guys!

Farl

[Rob]

Nicely finished ini sounded like a piano, must be the digitech huh ;-)

No worries Farl. I'm glad I'm last, so I don't mess the timing up for anyone else!:huh:

Thanks Farl.

:jump: Hey, I just noticed that I've won the daily lottery.:jump: :jump:

THE MILKY BARS ARE ON ME!!!!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[Bluto]

I've just finished listening topart one and you're right Farl, it sounds great. Usual greatness from Zombo and Rob. Zap and Ini, I really enjoyed both of yours, partly as you've both gone for tones which are unusual. Brave, but they certainly both paid off.:thumb:

Well done to all. Great stuff.

:jump: :jump:

[Bluto]

(I like green men.......................who jump a lot)

[Rob]

:jump:

[Highway Star]

Has anyone got the original backer so that we can get part 2 away? I mean the original minus Zombo of course so that we can ask GP to get it started! :-D

Farl

[bigdoug]

part 1 guys well played :thumb:

[Bluto]

No Farl. I think Zombo posted it originally with is part already on it.

[Highway Star]

No Farl. I think Zombo posted it originally with is part already on it.

I've PM'd Zombo. I know however that he is having issues so we will have to wait and see. Zapp may have it though.

Farl

[Guitarpima]

Good job Guys! Ini that was good. you were aware of what the the track was doing. Keep rockin man. :thumb:

[ZappaFan]

Farl

Sorry Farl, I dont have the backer either, if you get it off Zombo PM me a copy please.

[ZappaFan]

well, I guess part 1 is finished then.

Nice ending to the track there young man. Well done dude !!!:thumb:

[zeusse]

Most excellent you boys did a fabulous job with this first one.....ini is having way to much fun I can see with his Digitech..LOL I had this backer at one point but can't find it to post so Zombo will get on when he emerges from the shadows.....:space:

[Six]

Nice job guys.

A smooth opening from Zombo, a bit of bite and attitude from Rob, new-age synth tones from Neal and well finished by Ini with that haunting reverb-soaked ending.

[Six]

I guess that due to Pollin and Visco dropping out there won't be a part 4.

Bugger it... I was looking forward to putting the XTLive through its paces... aah well, next time.
