Blues Backer - Upbeat Blues

[Tangled Wires]

Further my post in the Genral Discussion board, this is the first of 8 blues backers that I have for you all to have a go at!

I will post the others every few days or so.

Enjoy

Here's my take at this cool backer track.  It's a little long so hard to keep it interesting.  Also hard (for me at least) to get all the way through it w/o mistakes.  I'll admit to having to do a couple punch-ins to correct a couple. Otherwise I've learned a lot from this track.  Lots of fun!

Very nice job, must be your Tele there, such crisp tone, wonderful job, this really motors along.

[hardlock]

Thanks much Dave!  Yes a tele (vintage mod squier this time) using the MBR "ArbrTR8R" effect.  Hadn't used this patch before for anything.  Not too radical but has some serious bite when desired.  Think I even got a squealer in there somewhere with it.

Good one. Nice licks and good timing.
The FX also places you nicely in your own tonal space.
You might try the old trick of changing FX occasionally to give some call and answer variety to what amounts to a long solo, which IMHO, is often a problem with backers.

[danieldesete]

that's a real solo lesson, well done. You mastered that backer !
