Driving - New tune and Backing track included

[marinblues]

Here's a backing I did on Saturday:

http://www.marinblues.it/base/Marin_Driving_backing.mp3


and here's my take:

http://www.marinblues.it/music/Driving.mp3


everything was done in a bit in a hurry, but I liked the backing that came out. A few bu...homeless(!) notes in the solo, but no time to rerecord. :)

thanks for listening.

[azgolfer]

C'mon, it's homeless notes.

[marinblues]

C'mon, it's homeless notes.

OOps, you're right.:jo I've re-edited the post...

I better be politically correct, goddammit. :D

[azgolfer]

Yes, just 'cause the other notes have positions on the staff, and don't live "outside", doesn't mean they are any better.

[clayville]

Marin: that's a great backing, and I really liked the dynamics and the coiled energy of your take. Sounds really good to me!

I took a stab at it with my limited vocabulary in this genre.

CS-356 through a Womanizer pedal. Delays and reverb in ProTools.

Hi Marin,

Very good backing!
Very good take!
Excuse me for being repetitive. :D

Cheers,

[Rid]

Ah Marin goodies:D

[marinblues]

thanks guys. You'd honour me if you give a try.


Clayville, that was really cool, you really jazzed up the whole thing. thanks for playing.

Marin

[Normster]

Oh man! Now you guys are talking my language!!! I love the backing and both takes were just killer. I can't wait to get home and try this. :D

[Rid]

Well did this one today, had some good fun with that nice track Marin:D

Clayville that was some sweet sweet playing, wonderful tone too!

[clayville]

Thanks for the listen. Nice one, Rid!

[Tyrone Shuz]

Well, now I have to listen to everybody else's (always do that after I do mine!)

Here's mine! (http://www.funkyguitar.com/funkyguitar/marindriving.MP3) I really needed a catharsis, and no pillows were around to beat!

Sorry about the sound quality, I converted this at the same rate as my others, but this one sounds noticeably worse (128k). Maybe it's less obvious w/o headphones.

[Normster]

Oh my goodness, Tyrone...I'm stunned and speechless. Tremendous emotional content, obvious technical stuff going on. In a nutshell, I'm blown away!!!

[johnfindlay]

tasty marin-enjoyed it!

[Weldaar]

Nice backing Marin, I thought I give it a try. Sorry about the clams, I am nursing a broken ring finger.

Great music Marin! the 6/8 feel is awesome, and you encouraged some part of my Hispanic roots with the G -F#7 bridge, maybe that caused I dared to make an intro to your song with my nylon strg. guitar in my take....I hope you like it , thank you again for this , you, Journo and L5player (among some few others) are my favorite MUSICAL BT makers!

my take: MarinBlues Driving + intro.mp3 (http://carlosarellano.com/music/01.SONGS/Carlos_Driving + intro.mp3)

BTW...cool takes from you all...

Nylon string acoustic guitar: Giannini Hand Made Flat Series (http://carlosarellano.com/imagenes/studiogear/giannini.jpg)(Brazil) - Telecaster standard (http://carlosarellano.com/imagenes/studiogear/gear1.JPG), guitar preamp: BlueTube Presonus (http://carlosarellano.com/imagenes/studiogear/presonusbluetube.jpg)--> PC ---> Waves Amp / Guitar Rig 2

Been there with the broken digit (last summer, in fact). Learned a bit of lap steel! Very nice. As long as you can stand it, it's great therapy. Keep it up.

[jimijam]

Nice track Marin! Love your take and everyone else's on here... Everyone seems to have a great approach.


Here is my take:
You would have to click on the little play button, I need to find somewhere to stash my mp3's! :jo

btw, had to use my other name of jalmon salmon to register that gigfrog site! lol

Wow some cool takes.
I love the variations from the different players.

[iluvstrats]

Love the backing track and your playing. Cool!

Rid, very "spacial" solo and full of ambience. I thought that this backing would suite you well.;)

Nice use of whammy.

thanks.

Tyrone,

a very smooth solo with some hip phrasing. The tone isn't bad at all. Perhaps it could be a bit more "in the front" but still very smooth.

thanks

great planning of the solo with a buildup as the tune goes on. A sign of maturity. ;)

Nice sound and phrasing, too.

thanks

Carlos,

beautiful into Carlos, really works well. I've never had an acoustic guitar so hearing one always sound exotic to me.

Great solo on the tele as well.

thanks

Markus,

beautifully balanced and melodic solo which fits the backing very well. Exceptional technique as well - do I hear some Holdsworth there? ;)

what the gear? Sounds fuchsy. :)

thanks

[marinblues]

Thanks to everyone else for their kind comments. This is what music is to me: playing, expressing yourself, sharing, listening and making friends. :BluesBros

Thanx for posting your backings Marin. I really appreciate it. And thanx for calling me mature, most people just say old

:D

Thanks Marin, the gear was Ibanez AS83 > Boss CS-3 > Rectifier Stack > 2 SM57 > SPL Goldmike > MAudio Delta 66 > Logic/PC > Waves Q10 > Waves C4 > Waves C1
Yes, I'm a big Holdsworth fan since about 15 years and though I try not to copy him it's hard to get rid of the influence...
Another great player I focus on is Brett Garsed so in a couple of years I'm hopefully going to sound like something in between the two :)

thanks Markus,

When you say "rectifier stack", do you mean a Mesa Boogie?

Thanks Marin for the great backing track. This is fun! :hiP

[MarkusK]

thanks Markus,

When you say "rectifier stack", do you mean a Mesa Boogie?
Yes, a Triple Rectifier and a Rectifier box.

[scottl]

Great backing!!!!!!!! Wow guys some great stuff. Right now Carlos is kicking my ass. Stunned at his amazing solo! Nice to hear you again mi amigo!!! Commentary on the others to follow. Not done listening yet.

[scottl]

Marin: Loved the tone. Well developed solo. Tone was similar to Carlos's on my laptop speaker. Real emotional....

Clay: Cool way of adding rhythm guitar to change the time feel. Nice jazzy solo is right! Good job.

Rid: Excellent way to dig right in. Nice out notes. Very nice solo.

Tyrone: Nice wet and fusiony tone. A tad low in the mix but good low end complexity ;) Excellent playing!!!

Weldaar: Hope the finger gets better soon! Sweet bluesy phrases bro! Any jams soon???

Jimi: Way to bring it! Good phrasing. What gear? Had that 1970 Johnny Mac Miles tone....

Markus you MOFO! Loved it bro! I need those chops.....now!!!

Slack: That was sweet Bill. You have great phrasing and lyrical ideas. Nice!

Carlos you suck! LOL Thanks for that amazing job!

[johnfindlay]

WOW! KILLER. Thanks for the heads up Scott! Lots of takes, and I need to listen to all of them. I actually think I hear a little Uli Roth in Carlos's take! :eek:

[anyone]

Killer clips guys!
Geez, Carlos! Is somebody a little over-ambitious around here!?

I'd ask you guys how to do the whole backing track thing, but Carlos just convinced me to sell off all my stuff...well, just in case...could someone give me some pointers?

Thanks,
Chris

[jimijam]

Wow Marin! See what you did?
This is a big party!
Man I twisted the tune a bit compared to what you had in mind Marin making a different little theme. I played thru the backing track before I heard any other takes so I would not copy anything else I hear on this thread....

I love all the takes on this tune from everyone! Marin, love the direction you took this one in, I steered it over to the left too much..lol

So many flavors to the mix...
What gear are you using there crybaby?

Thanks Scott, I don't think I have heard of Johnny Mac Miles before but I need to find some stuff on him and check it out.
Gear I used was "Twang Reverb" with Pro-Co Rat and TS-9 settings that are found within Guitar Rig 2, a little verb and some delay and my SG

[CryBaby]

Thanx alot, guys !

It was an Eagle Soul buddy III, through a GuitarPort Plexi clone.

Thanks marinblues for a great track. It just felt so good. Maybe if I get a little time this weekend I'll rerecord it to try and do it some justice.

[Normster]

Takin' a hint from Bailnout to "unkill" this thread. (I feel so ashamed for starting a new thread. haha)

Playing over backings while you're at the office? Dude, I need your job! LOL
Some great lines...actually, lots of great lines. Outro was badass! Tone was a little on the dry side, but I assume they don't let you bring your effects rack to work. ;)

Hey man, I wasn't trying to guilt trip ya! Just playin'!:BEER

That tone was achieve by using a factory preset on a Line6 Guitar Port! I took very little time tweaking a tone and quickly laid down some improv ideas. Your takes sound a lot closer to what I actually heard in my head before recording. If I get some time, I'll record a new take on it with one of my real amps at home and take more time to develop some solid musical ideas.

I really liked your tracks you posted on your own thread though.

Same as the take in my other thread but I thought I'd throw it out for Marin's amusement. :)

[jonos]

Thanks Marin,

I´m glad that you liked my playing. I prefer the first take myself, haha.

I have two guitars that I use, my main guitar is an old 1962 Stratocaster
and the other one is a 2001 Gibson Es 335. For amplification I use a Fender Twin from 1976 and for distortion V-stack Classic or V-stack Tweedy. I have a Tc-electronic G-major that I use for delay and noise gate. For recording I use a cheap microphone and a simple mixer from Behringer.

Driving_clip (http://www.adlibmusic.net/media/Drivin.mp3)

[garyh]

This is such a great backing track I couldn't resist. Thanks Marin. You have quite the creative soul.

It's my strat (neck pickup) into a Boss OD-3 at 11:00 into a Marshall reverb pedal and my Ibanez delay set for a short repeat into my Maz JR. NR.

There are a few clumsy places which I should probably fix but I really liked the intensity of the take so I just left things the way they came out. I like the OD-3. It's very transparent and sounds good in the highs. The low end is kinda loose though. I really do have to get a better dirt pedal though. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I love the soundfiles of the eternity but it's so expensive.

Anyway, I hope you like it.
