Guitar Jam Tracks Part 2

Guitar Jam Tracks Help Learn Layering

On June 11, I worked with another of the jamtrack tunes, and layered some more. It is a driving tune in the rough key of G major. Here it is:

Guitar Jam Tracks 04

June 25, 2010 - 04 of this group of jam tracks got some layers applied... Guitar parts were played through my 300w stack and mic'd with an Audio Technica AT300 (large diaphragm) condensor microphone.

Gotta love this tender, beautiful melody in the key of C major. Scott got lucky the good bits were captured in between 2 near-catastrophic PC crashes [whew]... Here it is:

My good friend over at MyBluHorizon.com created an awesome video to accompany this jam track! "Golly gee, Wally! This video sure does go nicely with this awesome guitar music!" Enjoy and share it, too! Please visit www.mybluhorizon.com for: HD Videos | Screensavers

Reviews:

Dear Scott: Really good to hear from you and the song you sent is nothing short of beautiful. Elegant guitar playing, beautiful tone and the harmonic feedback is perfectly controlled and complimentary to the emotional movements within the song. Music from folks our age...loved it!
I wish you well! Warren Murchie

This is Part A of a 30 minute space jam. This tune just kept mutating and we found several unique grooves within the simple structure.

Guitar Jam Tracks Help Learn Layering

Free mp3 download: Track 5a (w/layering) Yesterday, I started a 5-day guitar playing intensive to be prepared for The Plutonians next meeting on May 20, 2010. I was browsing through my guitar jam tracks folder and came across this simple progression in G minor. It lended itself well to fairly simple use of the G minor pentatonic scale pattern. So, I tried something that I hadn't done before.

Blind Layering

Using the simplicity of Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro, I imported this jamtrack file into the first track, armed the second track and started recording simple, clean guitar parts. I ended up with 5 individual guitar parts that all stood on their own as "working within the context of the basic mix."

I am calling this section "blind layering" because when I finished with each part, I

The Plutonians arranged a first-time jam and proceeded to record and video the session. This is the first of many Underground Free Music productions!

 

1. Leave It All Behind

   This was one of the Plutonian jam songs performed in the Advance Components warehouse. Unfortunately, YouTube.com has a 10 minute limit, so, I'll have to trim out the bad parts (there are a few), but that's another process altogether...

Plutonian Jams

E-G Jam

I tooled up to Dallas, McKinney actually, for a weekend and installed a studio setup for Mike Baughman. We had to test the installation (of course) to be sure all the components functioned correctly, and so that Mike could run his new home studio before I bailed on him and returned to the insanity we call real life. Here's the mixed and pseudo-mastered result. There are 4 guitar parts, carefully mixed and some pieces cut and pasted for effect (affect?) ... Best experienced in headphones - enjoy.

Plutonians Jam Movie 05/2009

Recorded this "live" in May 2009. This was my first trip to see Mike in twenty plus years. He came down to Austin before I went to McKinney, but that may be less important than the amazing weekend we had converting his lovely living room into a rehearsal and home studio space.

Thinking ahead, I set up my little digital camcorder and hit record. You'll notice that little care was taken to get a great video recording. The main thing was to preserve something of the dynamic that happens when Mike and I get together. Back in the day, we used to describe it as 'magic,' and I think we still could.

More evidence that this was a "set-it-and-forget-it" moment is revealed by Bob placing his own hand on his butt-cheek for me to post on the internet. Ha ha PRICELESS! Thanks BOB!

Lost Files Plutonians Jam

We didn't think this was recorded, and had a good laugh at the end of this video. I'm glad we found this Lost File! Look at 1:30 for my friend Raph to show his face!
