Think I'm pretty close, was working on something last night - just need to get a better take.
Is it any use if I simply lob backing track on one channel, guitar on t'other ? - that ought to be easy to separate I'd have thought.
jond, that should be fine.
I'm clearly missing something here! How do I get Audacity to record a stereo track without it recording the backing track onto it too? Every time I hit the record button it records the guitar I'm playing live, but also the backing track onto the new track. Help!
Hurrah, sussed it 🙂
Here's the complete track with my guitar:

Sorry if I put too many notes in, I tried to behave....
Hummer,
Holy shit you're worse than me! Tumeni Noats 😀
Plum
hummerlicious - that was pretty impressive, well done you!!
So, guys, who are YOUR guitar heroes then?

Whats the tempo of the backing track?
6/8 80bpm
Thanks CG, I was holding back as much as I could honest!!
My heroes in no particular order:
Dave Gilmore
Jimi Hendrix
Kirk Hammett
James Hetfield
Dave Mustaine
Synyster Gates
Paul Gilbert
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Eric Clapton (cream period)
Frank Zappa
Probably more, but it's too early to think!
Nice Greivoustim, perhaps I did put in a few notes 😉
Nice work fellas. Hummerlicious, don't worry about the too many notes thing, there's plenty of tasteful stuff already 😉
Ouch!
OOps, not meant that way at all. Not saying yours lacks taste, think it sounds ace.
What I really mean that the track will be better for different styles.
You musicians and your fragile egos 😉
Hummerlicious, if you're still speaking to me, good to see another Paul Gilbert fan. Saw him live in Glasgow a couple of years ago. Wow, my jaw was badly bruised from continually hitting the floor. Did a cover of Hendrix's Red House. He tore the blues a new assh0le.
Infuences rather than heros
Tim Pierce
Neal Schon
Eric Johnson
Plum
It's alright, I should have added a 😉
I saw Paul last year at the Concorde 2 in Bighton, I think he's great, amazingly fast picking.
Plumber, yes I love Neal Schon, told you I'd forgotten some. The last band I was in we did 6 Journey songs in the set!
OK I am seriously intimidated by all these good guitarists so to balance it out I've uploaded my piss poor efforts

Well, you've got to have a go haven't you, my excuse is punk rock.
Well I liked it DavidB, nice tone B-)
This has inspired me to dig out the 335!
Here's mine....

Only got to do the first 66 bars, as I could not come up with any ideas to play over the changes, and the family are sat in the dark, as the low energy lights make my guitar buzz like mad ;-).
This has been good fun! Kudos to all the submissions so far, let's have lots more!

1. What guitar is that..
2 what scales you playing, other than minor pentatonic?
I was thinking that Earle, a few interesting note choices there, me like.
The geetar was a 335 into an Orange Tiny Terror, with the master volume on full, though a Marshall powerbrake and into an old Park 2x12.
I think the scale is Dorian mode, (you just play a major scale, but shift it two frets down, so if the song is in A, you play G major scale). Also probably added the 'blue' note (b5th) when required.

Aah, a bit of Dorian action, I struggle to steel myself off the Natural minor thing, despite my best efforts. I had to force myself to think about the blue note for this (if indeed I used it, I can't remember!).
Good stuff anyway 🙂
Does anyone know if there is a simple app on a iMac pro to record? I have Garage Band but it seems to be quite complicated and I've never used it before. ta!
TBH, from what I can gather, Garage Band is about as simple as it gets. It would be less hassle to watch some tutorial videos and read the manual than to try and find another application. All music applications have a learning curve, and Garage Band will be about as shallow as it gets.
I'm sure there would be plenty of people who would help you with this on the forum (i'll help as much as I can, but i've not used Garage Band)
Cheers,
simon - i used Garage band for mine. it is very easy
you can just drag the backing track MP3 from itunes into Garage band as one of the tracks
then use an additional track to record your guitar
last call for submissions. Start piecing it all together tonight
I've got submissions from:
stratobiker
hummerlicious
grievoustim
lodius
earl_brutus
DavidB
am I missing anyone?
Yup, me - many apologies, had a bit of faffing with mixed recording/mp3 yesterday (ie they shouldn't have been). A minor bit of cack-handedness remaining to fix when I get in and I'll upload/post here.
Nothin' from Chipps? 🙁
SB
I've uploaded it anyway, and you'll have to put yer fingers in yer ears 😉

(I need to check what quality it's been exported with, it's default at the mo, whatever that is)
As mentioned, backing on one side, guitar on t'other. I'm in all evening so please post if there's a problem.
what key is it in please?
big-chief-96 - It's an A minor blues.

Now you tell me 🙂
Re the fave guitarists thing, it's something like (in no order except mebbe the order I came across 'em):
Alex Lifeson, Ted Nugent, Angus Young, Uli Roth, Pat Travers, Al Di Meola, EVH, Randy Rhodes, Vivian Campbell (Dio era), Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert (does quite a heavy version of a Paula Abdul tune !), George Lynch, Nuno Bettercourt..
..with liberal helpings in various years of John McLaughlin, Neil Schon (good call Plumb !), Joe Satriani, Alexi Laiho, Dimebag, Marty Friedman, Dave Mustaine (oh, and the dodgy couple from that 'other' band), plus Trower, Gallagher.
I guess that'll do for the moment !
i like the following guitar players:
Slash
Albert King
Stevie Ray Vaughan
rory gallagher
kenny burrell
Jond are you my long lost musical twin brother?
Alex Lifeson, yep
Ted Nugent, yep
Angus Young, yep

Paul Gilbert (does quite a heavy version of a Paula Abdul tune ! - he sure does, it's awesome), yep
George Lynch, yep
Nuno Bettercourt, yep
Neal Schon, yep
Joe Satriani, yep
Dimebag, yep
Marty Friedman, yep
Dave Mustaine, yep
Been looking at my iTunes library?
Lol !
Dunno, do you have the comedy metalhead goatee-on-steroids too ?
😉
Is this still open to submissions?
I can try and get some sax down over the weekend?
Actually I could probably be quicker than that.
Wish it really was Friday..
Some sax would be good, hoping to get it finished Wednesday night.
I do have the goatee, but not on steroids, it annoys mrs hummerlicious when it gets too long!
Mrs Jond took a while to get used to mine (had a shorter version for years), but has since realised it's a huge source of amusement on passing small children..they frequently exhibit a 'wtf is that ?' moment 😉
