gib, that's not a bad approach. As long as you're hitting chord tones in the right places, you can't go wrong. It's a start. Give yourself time, and you'll find a way to fill in the blanks. Look at me, I'm still trying to figure this stuff out. Don't make me go down there and smack ya.

This is horrible. Cleaner recording with Traktion, but using Tele, sound is too thin. Messed with too many plug ins. Had a better groove on first take. Learning that monitoring through headphones doesn't necessarily give me what I'm actually recording. Learning experience though. Did better with the legato lines in first take. May go back to Audacity to record, much simpler overall. I saved the project, anyone know if I can warm up the tone? Sorry, took link out. Too lousy too be heard. Got that banjo sound again.

Alright, women. Here it is. I've dubbed my rendition Worlds Apart... because I'm clever like that, I guess. Anyway, enjoy. I sure did.

Nice! Good job Smitch!

I'm eager to listen, but I'm here at work with nothing but the pc speaker, so I'm gonna have to wait till I get home.

I've almost got mine done (I think). I've laid down about 2/3 of it, and just require an intro and beginning passages. I was having trouble getting much of anything really, but I then came up with the ending (my favorite part really, you'll see), then slapped down something mediocre in the middle that might suffice last night, and I'm thinking of just doing something really simple for the beginning, so I might be able to get that tonight. Anyone else having trouble with the track might want to consider breaking it up into parts as such.

I'll also reveal I've also chosen to play with a capo on the first fret. I've found D melodic minor descending (1-2-b3-4-5-b6-7) to be the scale of choice for me, as it has the flat 3rd and flat 6th. The notes of that scale are the same as F Major btw. Of course, towards the end where it sounds more major, you want to avoid the minor 3rd, if not just make it a Major 3rd.

Sounds cool Rustee. Great scale choice. I broke this up as well. I used a major scale lick in the intro before Schmange's guitar kicked in, from there on....it seems like a D minor street key to me. I switched to rythmn playing when Schmange was laying down his melodic licks ...all for now.
