    Yes, the Grover Washington Jr classic funk track. After seeing Norm pull a track together using the Allman Bros Stormy Monday intro, i thought to myself "Self, you've been looping tracks for rappers for 15 years, why not for a backing track??" :)

    Hydra

    Have fun, Y'all :)

    Here's my 1st take. Not wild about the playing, not wild about the tone, but its getting late & i'm tired - may try another tomorrow morning ;)

    By the way, you'll be playing with:

    Steve Gadd
    Louis Johnson
    Eric Gale
    Bob James

    Ant, is this backing in tune? I went to hit it last night and my axe was really out with it. I even used my Peterson...

    Its somewhere AROUND C# ;) I have a feeling those cats didn't bother with a tuner and just tuned to Bob James' Fender Rhodes. I actually tuned to standard and just bent enough notes to come close ;)

    If i didn't make it clear, i didnt PLAY the backing, i just edited and looped parts of the original :D

    I can put the backing "in tune" when I get home today, unless the normster beats me to it. :D

    Badass backing and cool playing, Ant. As far as it being out of tune...I play sharp anyway so it won't matter. ;)

    Well, I've intentionally not listened to anyone else's take. Hope I don't sound like a clown.

    Hey anyone seen my floppy shoes? :p

    My goodness... just tune to it by ear!
    Like most all workin' jazz cats. ;)

    OT:
    Ever read Goodrick's "Advancing Guitarist"?
    He doesn't dig tuners - thinks it messes w/ ear training... (to paraphrase)

    Actually if I had more than 2 minutes.... I had to grab my B1. It was out of tune. I tuned it. It was worse. I had to go to work...... I can tune by ear to the backing, as soon as I get a chance to record again.

    :D

    Awesome job, Richard.
    Nice pocket, strong phrasing, good intonation.
    Dig it all, but particularly enjoy from about the half-way point on as you transcend your GB influence somewhat...

    Ant, Ed, Richard, Leon,

    Great playing!


    Here's my go.

    My tone totally sucks. Les Paul into a Bad Monkey directly into the computer.

    I think I stuck on my theme to long.
