A couple sound clips

[bbarnard]

I did a couple takes on the Carlton slow blues backing track that was up a little while ago (Just An Excuse was the name of the backing track, I can't remember/find who posted it) but have no where to host it.

Edited to add:
Thanks to tonefreak for hosting these.

I will... PM me!! I will give you instructions!

 

[tonefreak]

Actually, I'll PM you!

Okay thanks to tonefreak for hosting these. Like I said these were using the Carlton backing track that someone posted a little while ago.

Please be gentle. This is my first time putting stuff out in public for the whole world to see (well besides playing locally around town - hardly the entire internet world).

This is a very rough tracking. No real mastering just a bounce of the lead track onto the backing.

Two takes on it. Each was a "play it all the way through without overdubs" just to see how it sounded.

Any feedback (other than you suck) greatly appreciated.

Take one.

Hi Bbarnard,

I remember how nervous I was the first time I posted here. Now posting here is one of my favourite things to do.

You have no reason to be nervous however. Both takes are good but I personally liked your first take the best. Fatter tone and more decisive playing.

I'm looking forward to your next post.

Cheers,

Nice feel. I like the way you approach the bends. The musicans from Huguenot would all want you in their band.

Yeah well there are some monster players here. I like the first one best too. I find that my playing tends to be best on the first take because I'm just playing instead of analyzing what I could have done different/better.

lhallam - Thanks for the inside aside. They'd be asking me after you turned them down. ;^)

Really nice take on both tracks. I can't say I preferred one over the other, though. The first was certainly a bit more aggressive, but I really enjoyed the lazy feel of the second as well.

Great clips and welcome to posting. Lots of great stuff in both of the takes. One may have the edge for me, but both rocked....err bluesed.

I do believe I love this backing and will be needing to do a take at some point....
