Thanks for the patience this week! And remember, there’s a whole resource thread that tells you how and where to get drum tracks! It’s as easy as going to YouTube and a little audio routing in your computer, but all the info is the resource thread!

You guys are all killin’ it!!!

Oh yeah!
This one has a bridge that I think sounds Zepplin-y hopefully not a ripoff

Improv solo of an EWF song my late singer liked to play. RIP Moe.



AD2, Strat Rhythm, AZ lead (neck pu'p out of phase), both using Essex A30 and Dua Verde IR in HX Stomp. Ibanez Talman bass with HX Native, Ampeg SVT Pro (no cab)

 

[Piing]

I think Piing's count is on 3. He did a little something on week #4

 

[Iron1]

Here's my first two for this week. Moonlit came from messing around with clean tone settings in the Helix using my new Epiphone ES339.



Crustaceous is more a "normal" song for me.



The intro is the ES339, the rest is my Jackson Pro HT7 & Ibanez 445 bass.

Dig this. Didn't hear anything that made me think you ripped off anyone. Really liked the lyrics too.

So very chill I needed more coffee to stave off the urge to go back to bed. Good stuff!

This is the sort of stuff I want to learn to play - really like this lead a lot. Good job!

It's like i was led to a nice sunny beach somewhere to lay down and close my eyes, only to get crushed by a passing giant!

Fun, jazzy chords are a trip. I'm not well versed in this kind of style but the past few years of RnB cover bands taught me a shitload

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Started this last night, finished up this morning. More times was spent on the video editing than the song, lol. Reaper handling multiple video items with pan/zoom effects gets a little wonky.

Not sure why, but I have this weird, almost psychic, feeling that you like white guitars...

Killer stuff once again brutha! Keep 'em coming.

In all honesty, a white Strat was always something I wanted (Jimi @ Woodstock). The AZ only came in black or white and I didn't want a black one. I really wanted a Rose or Ice blue one but they didn't have them so I settled for white. The Bass was just the best cheap bass at Guitar Center, I didn't care what color it came in!

I do have a PRS in Vintage Cherry but that guitar picked me!

This is my favorite so far! Cohesive parts, mood was set nice and early. Not hearing anything I've heard before!

Really cool, this is the kind of stuff that I could listen to while getting something done. In fact I did just that

 

[Iron1]

The name says it all:



Spring needs to hurry up and get here...

Clean parts with my Jackson Pro HT7, Fishman Classic neck pickup. Gain Guitar is my Solar A2.6S. Bass is my Solar A2.4.

I know what you did. You made a great entry in the (insert Ibanez Guitar model number: TGFDSWC5) challenge!

Well I do have an Ibanez that needs work !

I used an Epiphone Sg and a Squier P-bass for recording though…

Good sounds and playing. I need to explore that plugin more.

Geesh.... you guys are laying the Gauntlet down!!

Technically, this should have been done for last week's challenge, but it took me a few days to get this solo under my fingers. That's a few days longer than I've spent learning someone else's music since high school, but it was fun and I'm glad I did it. I was considering doing a cover of the whole song, but as badass as it is, there's a lot of empty space in that song and I'm now being lured back in by an original.



Doing something a little different this week; I have a song I wrote and recorded around 10 years ago, it's changed a couple times over the years and I was never stoked with it, but I really dig what I've done with the vocals. So I'm re-writing all the music for it to work with the existing vocals. I've never tried writing to vocals before, but I was up for a while last night dicking round with it and I think I can work it into something I can tolerate.
