Hi,
Here is a tune with a backing track that was sort of difficult to finish.
The start was easy. First inspiration was from listening to Marin's funky tracks with his new bass. So I broke out my old Squier Jazz Bass and got started.
Then I was listening to Stevie Wonder and his way of layering Clavinet parts. There I got the idea to layer funky guitar parts. I really had to practice my right hand to get even close to the rhythm parts I was aiming for.
Finally the melody. I remembered the way Scott Henderson used his trem arm to slide between note at a concert I attended. Thus there you got the melody. Sometimes it sounds like slide but it's only the trem on my Suhr Classic.
The solo was just a mixture of all my influences although I must admit to having a secret wish to play like Ed DeGenaro (I know I failed ;) )
So now to the music:
Turn Me On (http://www.beggat.com/uploads/Turn%20Me%20On%20050729.mp3)
In case you want to join the fun here's the bakcing track:

As always I appreciate all feedback!
Cheers,
