Suggested by @Yeti and seconded by me (I think he was reading my mind), we've hatched a plan to keep us playing over the LoCkDoWn period. The basic idea i...

really interesting initiative guys 🙂 am going to definitely see about getting stuck in.

Heres a jangly loop i threw together quickly.

Its a run of the mill rock groove at 100bpm in the key of A.

Quite simple,
A, G, D - verse
A, C, D - Chorus
A, G, F# something or other for the weird break

... I think.

Basically a Tele into a Vox AC

That real cool - as @Yeti said, could you grab the 1min you'd feel you'd want to have the leads & solo's to fit?

Keeping shorter will keep peeps focused on tighter leads/solo's (that's the thinking anyways) - I know I got about (at most!) 10s of original ideas and then I'll repeat ad-nauseating 🤣

Right, so i cannot fathom how to edit the post, apologies for the double post. Here is the shortened loop;

Basically as above, has a verse (A, G, D), a chorus (A, C, D), and then the break in key of A as well , presumably where the whiddly bits would go

Yeti

Thats awesome @guidothepimmp, you always have such fantastic tone. My 2c, I think it's a little long for this challenge. Might be worth cutting it a little to get closer to 1:00?

guidothepimmp

Ohhhh... ok.. now i get it. I didnt realise it was just the loop part for the solo bit... righto.. lemme shorten it

Stoffeltoo

Awesome entries, will work on mine today

Apologies my dudes, I did forget to ask everyone to make their loop/backing track downloadable...opppsss!

It's prettyyy dang simple to do - go to your track on SC, underneath the track you'll see a button "Edit'. When ya click on that that you'll get to your track's "Basic Info". Click on the permissions tab and you'll see the screenshot below - we want to enable "Direct Downloads" - Yip where that red arrow is ppinting. Enable that and save. Then we can d/l the track to use (and abuse!)

Thanks guys!

Yeti

V8 done

Right-o, another plea for backing tracks - we've only two fresh ones (thanks @Stoffeltoo) including this mish mash of mine...

BPM:130
Key: A
Bars: 37 (1 bar drum intro, 12 bars relaxed blues, 2x12 bars of more rocking blues.
).

It's a edit of something I did a very long time ago (2014?) for the "Action Challenge" - I was aiming for a mix of house muzak and blues. Errmmm...yeah, well - it seemed like a good idea a the time...

Yeti

Heres a quick and dirty boogie woogie at 180BMP in Am... perfect for you vintage shredders

We've totally be inundated by backing tracks...so here's one a bit different. The reggae section from Alinea's "Brass Knuckles"

BPM: +/- 88 (Not 100% sure, I don't have the reaper project)
Key : E minor-ish?

It's four chords all the way through. E, C, F#, B - If it sounds a bit odd, well we was detuned (the final chord, B - is a low B on BEAD tuned bass).

V8 so here's one a bit different
