Hi all,
The idea was to play some blues bass lines. I was experimenting with different arpeggios and I'd want to record it. Finally I added some guitars as well. I made the drum track with GarageBand from scratch. I'd want a simple shuffle rhythm, the standard drum tracks are very busy.
I just did a couple of takes for the bass, mainly by experimenting with the pickups. I needed more than one hour for recording the guitars... and I don't like them. :?
I guess something is happening... :roll:

Comments on mixing are also welcome.
Thanks!
PS. Does anybody want to play some lead guitar?
Works for me. :) I'll see if I can add something tomorrow, my brains are fried for the night. Would it be okay to try some vocals, too?
Nice :D 8)
I'm a sucker for blues in E! :wink:
(I was smilin' the whole time.... proud Godparent that I am :mrgreen: )
Would love to hear it a bit more developed (vocals and stuff).

Of course, Sir! And keyboards, too! Please, feel free to add anything!
Even we could make it longer if needed!

Layla is for blues! 8)
Thanks guys!
Was listening to this while doing some work and found myself kind of relaxing and rocking to the rhythm, enjoyed it alot!
In Space, no one can hear me sing!
hey, nice backing track. Nuno, you have been paying attention. the bass sounds very good. did you scoop the mids? :wink:
your guitar work has improved so much this year.

I tried to maintain a "standard" blues. The initial idea was to play also some lead but I think it is better and much more fun that all we collaborate. I always get very positive feedback when I do it.

Thanks, Sir! You show me the right path. It is easier in that way. I was using your favorite strat position in one of the guitar tracks. I learned how to use it... I'm learning how to use it. :D
On the bass. I used a different patch this time and it already had the mids slightly reduced.
It is curious... usually we increase the mids on the guitar for leading (it is a general advice) and it seems interesting to reduce them in bass. I'll think on it. :?:
Nice backing track Nuno! 8)
I might have some time to lay down some lead guitar too. :)

Thanks Dan! :D
Perfect! Add also some lead guitar! If we need more 'room' and I'll be the track longer. The rhythm guitar is easy to "cut&paste" and the bass line is easy to record again.
Oh Hell YEAH ! I'm going to have my way with this also :twisted: Nice track, I have some lyrics and a general idea :idea: Like Zen says I'm also a sucker for blues in E :note1: :note2: :mrgreen:
Might be interesting to hear everyones interpretation :idea:
Thanks! :D
I agree it might be interesting to hear the interpretations. If I receive the tracks I'll a new mix with all. Or if everyone works alone, I'll put links to the other threads.
love the blues! Really nice grove - sure enjoyed it!

Thanks Dale! :D
Just experimenting and having fun. Nothing compared to your playing!
cool, i want to try something like this now
see ya.. :lol:
Here's my take on it. I post it myself because it needs to be modified if people are going to add electric guitar, which is much faster done by me editing the midi track then by having nuno cut&paste actual audio.
