    Hi,

    This is far heavier than what I usually write. This time it was my Yamaha Pacifica 604W that got me into this mess. Guitar sounds courtesy of Native Instruments Guitar Combos PlexiCombo.

    Here is my take:
    Pacifica Riffster

    Here is the BT:
    Pacifica Riffster Backing Track

    If you download it please take the time to comment as I hope to learn from your views.

    Cheers,

    Hey Mats,

    I didn't know you could get so mean!:cool:

    Although I am a pseudo jazz blues fusion wannabe, I grew up listening to Led Zep, D. Purple, B.Sabbath.....as well..

    Nice playing.;)

    Hi Marin,

    Thanks for listening!

    I am too a psuedo jazz blues fusion wannabe but I grew up listening to nothing particular and started my musical journey with the classical guitar. All roads lead to Rome, eh?

    Cheers,

    Mats N

    Loved it. Threw it ni the Mp3 player for the hard ride up the mountain roads on my crotch rocket today as part of my "motivational" music :D

    Played over it as well and had fun doing it. Ill mix it down and post it when i get time.

    I had fun with that. Thanks man. It has plenty of room to jam over. It's rare for me to find a rockin tune like this that doesn't demand shredding. I'm an old geezer and shredding ain't my thing. good stuff :)

    Hi,

    Glad you like my humble efforts.
    My next track will probably be a bit different.
    Thanks for taking your time to provide feedback. Much appreciated!

    Cheers,

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for listening!

    I played through the Plexi Combo for all the distorted sounds. The clean sounds (very few) were done with the Twang Combo.

    Cheers,

    Mats N

    Another cool tune, Journo. The solo was not overdone and fit perfectly. This one is way outside what I typically jam to, but it's such an upbeat track, I may have to give it a shot anyway. ;)

    Hi Norm,

    Thanks for the words!
    This is also not what I normally do but if I don't do a little "off stuff" once in a whil I won't know what really is normal for me :D

    Cheers,

    Mats N

    Hi adlibmusic,

    Your sound was quite a bit darker than mine and thus created an interesting contrast.

    Sometimes I wish I lived in the US so I could partake in the vast offerings of products of the boutique or small company variety.

    Cheers,

    Mats N

    Hi Myles,

    Thanks for the kind words. "My show", yeah! In my dreams but it's a nice dream. I'm too old and have too little hair to still have the urge to pursue that dream. For fun I play old standards in a big band (Miller, Basie, Porter and similar stuff). Once in a blue moon there's a soul band. Nothing exciting and no place for my own compositions.

    Cheers,

    Mats N

    Just realized i never put up my track for this so i went back through the cobwebs and found it. If memory serves me right i had just put new strings on which explains why it gets painfully out of tune at one point...and i pause for a quick retune several times :D

    Had a blast playing along to this one....almost has a David Lee Roth/Steve Vai feel to it from the Eat em and Smile/Skyscraper era.

    Hi Dave,

    Better late than never, eh? :D

    I enjoyed your take. When I wrote this one I was actually going for the kind of intensity you play with. I wouldn't mind having the fluidity of your phrases either. Back to practice!

    Cheers,

    Mats N

    Thanks Mats.

    Now, being that i am self-taught and dont even know the names of the chords i play(i play by ear and just know how they sound) you are going to have to 'splain "fluidity of phrases" to me :D

    It is tracks like these when i wish i was good at soloing. I hear all these great licks in my head but i just dont posess the talent to play them :( I guess i would consider myself a "one string wonder" :D I have certain patterns that i know how to play that let me branch off onto other strings but thats about it...my inventory is quite repetitve unfortunately.

    i really do enjoy your backings and i always look forward to new ones though some of yours are too complex and i cant follow along with them....but i enjoy them just the same.
