Title: Bluesberry jam too
Post by: Glenn Mitchell on June 24, 2009, 06:52:36 PM
My take on BB's jam backer.
Trying to keep it interesting is a challenge all right.
Here I simply changed the FX now and then.
It might be a good idea to switch guitars or even to keyboards etc or do a bit of harmony.
Next time maybe.

Jeez!!  I didn't know there could be so many variations to one backer.  This was awesome Glenn  You definitely had different sounds going on and kept it interesting.  Again just wow!!

Beauty Glen.  I love this tone and the hang time of the notes in the beginning.  Beauty.  This is like a symphony of blues tones.  Really lovely layering.  Like Wiley says this takes it in a whole new direction, sweet stuff.

Wow Glenn - the sounds you are getting - excellent dirt, man!! Love the tone and feedback. At times it sounded like you were putting your axe through a gristmill!!

I felt it!!

Very nice, great pinched harmonics and variety of tones. Amazing how this backer brings out each persons personality. I bet D.Gilmour would love to hear all these takes. As an honor to him and his music.

Thanks again.
I used a Boss Comp/Sustain before the SmoothLd. and toggled the pickups occasionally on the first recording.
Then I simply punched the FX off and on during a bounce.

Second listen now ....

Really love the tone you've got here, cutting right through but still sweet as honey.

Very well played!!!!

cheers

Dirty and sweet all at the same time. That takes some pulling off. And fantastic use of sustain. Really great playing and blues feel.

Sounds almost like an octave divider in the beginning....How did I miss this????? this is just oozing Gilmour!!! (Where in Sam Hell did I get Roger Waters in my other posts???LOL, I meant Gilmour!)

Yes Wiley you could go on and on.

I've been trying to find some backers in the major keys so Wiley and StevieM can hear the relative minors being played. I imagine 48 will work with them on that soon.

Very nice Glenn

Another superb take on this backer. Great job Glenn. I've listened to three versions back to back as I catch up on posts and all have managed to create their own identity. You definitely did it here - great sounds, love the simple idea but very effective of varying the FX and really soulful playing. Killer jobb!

Cheers,

Nigel
