Minor Blues backing for you guys :)

[FretFire]

Alright, here's a backing you guys might enjoy jamming over. Eight verses, four keys . Bmin, Cmin, C#min, and Dmin... twice I have a bit of work to do before I'm brave enough to post a take haha, but I thought you guys might have fun with it.

This is an absolutely killer backing track, but there's some kind of corruption near the last minute of the file. I'm going to try downloading it again, then I'll try to come up with something again tomorrow.

If its still corrupted, I can just fade out the end.

Re: Minor Blues backing for you guys

Let me try and upload it over again... the version I have on my PC is fine. I'll delete the current one and post a whole new link.

Re: Minor Blues backing for you guys

Ok, I re-uploaded the track and updated the URL in my first post. Would someone be kind enough to check it out and make sure it works ok for someone other than myself? Thanks .

Re: Minor Blues backing for you guys

The second time seems to be better. Still one teeny glitch right in the middle, but that might be me - not you.

So anyway, I tried to play a little something to go with it. This jam is way beyond my skill level, but its a blast to jam to, so I tried to just play along.

This is me just using the side of my thumb, on my Predator, with both the 59 and the C5 on together. (Into the Yamaha effects unit>J-Station>mixer>Adobe Audition.)

Re: Minor Blues backing for you guys

Very nice take man, I like the use of a clean tone here. You seemed to hit those changes without skipping a beat . I really like it when you came in with the octaves around 2:30-2:40. Nicely done!

Re: Minor Blues backing for you guys

Hey, jazbrokr! I didn't know you poked around these parts, glad to see you here as well. The only problem is, no one is going to want to play after you show us all up so early on haha . Don't let Scott tell you any different guys, he's a monster of a player and a nice guy to boot!

Ok now were talking - Artie and Scott, this was some nice stuff, really enjoyed listening to all of it - I'm a sucker for minor blues stuff all the way.

Re: Minor Blues backing for you guys

thats an awesome backing track. Where do you find this stuff?.. I'll throw my take on ithis tomorrow for sure and post back here.

Re: Minor Blues backing for you guys

There's a guy over on the Electric forum at guitar.com that goes by the handle Normster who has a knack for finding great backings . I've just decided I'll start posting the links here as well to provide some jam material.

Re: Minor Blues backing for you guys
