Hey everyone, lets have a good old fashioned backing track lead-over friendly challenge. It is time to do another of these (look back in history to see other backing lead-over challenges done), and this is such a great backing track. Grab your guitars, your recorder, your inspiration ( a few red ales usually does the trick for me in this department), and jam away. Post the finished track in the Post your work section, and we will all listen and comment on each others post. Great fun to be had by all, all styles, all playing levels welcome. I am going to give this a go tonight. Who else is up for this. Let the "David Gilmour, G minor pentatonic" backing lead-over challenge begin.
I'm not sure anybody else will be interested in playing an improvisation in G minor
WINK WINK ;) ;) :P
Sounds like fun to me............
I'll give it a go.... I'm sure I can satch-up somethin..... 8)

Id do it, but now upon listening to it, its got a lead already over the rhythm...I dont wanna stomp all over it if thats AverGo or even David Gilmore...I dont see what I could add except some whole note bends here and there...unless I took the center out...but then I feel like Im stompin on somebodys work, like AverGo's.
I guess I just dont understand ???
I feel the same way as Sprocket... Especially because, for me, trying to play over a lead that is already there has a tendency to lead me, rather than ignoring it and exploring on my own. Especially if it is a good lead, like what is in there already.
I don't have my MBR on me right now to try it myself. Will center cancelling work on this?
I don't know what you guys are referring to as a "lead". That sounds like rhythm fills to me. I take this whole thing to be the rhythm track. If that is a lead it is pretty subtle and laid back. I am at work so I haven't had a chance to try anything yet, but the backer sounded so nice to my ears I just wanted to play along with it. I believe that it was recorded to be a "backer" to solo over the top of.
Maybe it will be hard to solo over, we'll have to see. It still is a really great sounding backer.

I agree there is a strong lead element to this backer but there is still room for a principal solo as avergo has already expertly shown.........
AWESOME...I'll have a go when my finger heals up......:(..
I gave er a go tonight. Results posted here (https://songcrafters.org/forum/micro-br-b65/bluesberrys-bluesy-jam/msg32901/#msg32901). I didn't find the "lead" on the backer to be intrusive at all. The whole thing sounds real nice while playing along with it I found. Nice backer for sure.
;) ;) Ok Bluesberry. You invited us new talents to try this out. So I did! I knew I had to do it tonight or not until Sunday. I thought it was a very good backer. Kind of down and dirty. LOL So I usually use Big Strum, but this time I used Blues Dr. And I cranked the reverb up on the track to about 80. I dont like dead sounds. I only tried it about 4 times before I recorded as I tend to play myself to death and get worse. My playing was somewhat repetitive, but I was really getting into it. I like this blues stuff. So thanks for inviting us new ones to play also. soooo. Here goes ::)
Wiley
Holy crap Wiley that sounds just like 48 playing that, especially the tone and bends. You have been absorbing a lot from your teacher. You are becoming pretty darn good in such a short time. Go wiley go!!! It is a challenge to play along with something for 4 minutes and not feel like you are repeating yourself isn't it. You did good, real good.
Just to clarify. This track is from Guitarist mag 317, called Bluesheadlines by David Gilmour, in-which he plays some very tastful lead.
The next Mp3 is called BluesHeadlines_BT. This is whats posted.
So the lead you hear, is actually part of the backing.

Famous last words before The Addiction sets in :D
You were getting into it Wiley and doing well. I'd say "stick with it" but no need for that...you're already hooked 8)

MMMM Is that good or bad for me ;D ;D
It's great all these 'All Stars snapping at my heels means I need to up my game ;)
This is a brilliant Backer I am dying to have a go but I'm waiting to try out my new pocket pod express, which will be here this afternoon or tomorrow ..... 8)
g minor is that the same as pg

And you did a great job - first time I've heard you with a dirty sound. You played it really well, it may be simple but some of those repeated phrases work very well - it creates a melodic and mournful feel. You are really progressing, great job.
Cheers,
Nigel
Well Pine Dog that does look like it could be a lot of fun. Kind of like Koasillator, Be more than I would use at this time though. lOL
Lets give a big round of applause to AverGo for finding this backer, posting it here for us to play over, and starting this whole thing with his first post, thanks AverGo, see what you started!
