  • A little friendly solo contest?

    Here is the backing track: https://soundcloud.com/kamandasd/sd-solo-contest-1-am-2

    It's a simple hard rock backing track in Am. Let's see what you got!

    Also for those interested:

    Guitar: Squier Standard Fat Strat with SD Custom8/'59 (it's my only axe currently in standard)
    Bass: 80's BC Rich NJ Eagle with SD SPB-3's
    AMP: BIAS FX - Basically a TubeScreamer into an 800 with a little delay
    Interface: RME FF800
    Drums: EZ Drummer 2 Rock! Expansion

    OP:

    I remember YEARS ago we had something like this. Think it would be neat to hear everyone's flavour over the same backing.

    I'm willing to make a backing track for this and I'll see if I have anything useful to give as some sort of prize? I was thinking some sort of midtempo hard rock style thing so that a wide variety of styles can go over top. If anyone's got any ideas on certain progressions then let me know. Key would be a guitar friendly one too...A or E.


    So let me know what you guys think, anybody down?

        Busy weekend this weekend but I'll see if I can cobble something together for next week. Yeah I had a look and nothing much I can really offer for prizes (either too small or too big)...so it may just be for the glory!

          Hi!
          I like this idea, sometimes I miss something that I can solo for, being busy with these "Driver 2" covers

            I am always down for some recording; count me in! (Even though I am not a strong soloist)

                      Will this be a complete backing track including drums to which we are just adding lead guitars? Or will you provide stems in case we want to change the backing riff or bass guitar?

                        I think the idea was simply do soloing over the backing track Kamanda puts together? You may be overthinking this.

                        I may participate if I have time. If just to show everyone how not to play lead

                          Given that my lead style is more along the lines of a metal Neil Young, I think that I'll beat you to the bottom.

                            You mean you play like Venom? I highly endorse this approach

                            I'd be down for a collective venture like this.

                              Sounds like fun… I’m in! [emoji1303]

                              Although, to be honest, I think the only ones I’ll be giving a competition to are Demanic and Jacew for the worst!

                              If I may, I’d like to make a suggestion. That each entry be accompanied by information for the entire signal chain, from guitar to recording device… to include guitar woods, pickups, pedals, amps, mics, etc. Not to be judged, but it would be nice to be able to know this info if we hear a tone we like along way.
