A new backing track - changes

[L5player]

I thought I'd better do a backing in order to dust off the cobbwebs! I haven't done one for quite awhile.

This one will be kind of a challenge to solo over because of my twisty changes...

Have fun!

Sweet backing, Jim! I don't know if I have enough chops to keep it interesting, but I'll certainly give it a try. (I may not post the effort, though. lol)

Great job Dave! I liked the tone and effects you were using for this, a nice match.

Thanks all for the positive comments on the BT. I'm looking forward to hearing all the interpretations.

Both you and Harry will kill on this track! Can't wait to hear what you heavy hitters are going to do.

Here is the tab and notation for the chords I used:

I'll leave the naming of the chords for folks better at such things.

Fender Tele into Glaswerks amp.

Beautiful clean tones coming from that guitar! Nice job on the solo!

Dave, loved that funky autowah.... Nice phrasing all through...

Gary, sweet cleans and nice major pentatonic ideas.

Sounded good, Scott. I like the tone you're getting with the Wizard.

Here's mine. I added some instruments. . .
I originally did this as a clean tone check . . mistakes and all.

Jim, I liked that clip sooooo much I had to give it another try.

I pulled my Washburn J-6S off the wall and dusted it off for this take. The strings are flatwounds and at least 4 years old (and sound it!!).

Amp was my SOD-50.

Jim,
I wish I could produce something that good! Darn!

I'm going to give it a go and see how I can do this week..I'm off from work for a whole week!

Here is a new better take. Both tone and playing. At least I am in the right key this time...

Here is another snippet afyer I adjusted the trimmers a tad more and changed 1 cap in the amp. I think this one may be a bit tonally better....no?

A couple of pretty cool takes Scott! I like the tone on the second one a bit better but there are cool ideas in both! I'm finding it hard to transition over the Gb changes in the last two bars of the A section. So I'm still working on how I'm going to interpret this... LOL But you gave me all sorts of ideas to think about.
