Jam Clinic # 4 - Page 6

I didn't go too outside, C-Rock. After experimenting some before my first take, it sounded really country (not necessarily bad, but didn't seem to fit). On my last take, I was basically in E minor, a bit of the G major scale (the difference being an F#), then decided to screw it, and just kinda flew by the seat of my pants, which is what i tend to do.

Playing in E minor, C minor, or A minor isn't really changing modes per se, because they all have the same notes. But playing in in those positions can lend itself to a different kind of sound without really "going modal." Everything was so overdriven through my headphones, I was mostly playing to the drums anyway, lol. I love the drumming and bass on Hey Joe. I was thinking of using power chords too, to have the option of either major or minor, but it just sounded too weird. So I just kinda stuck with what I do best; wanking away, and hoping for the best. I may give it one more shot to clean up my last track, then give everyone else's a listen. I'm sure it's all interesting.

But it was a lot of fun to play my Telly again. After all my Strat talk lately, I remember now why I love Tellys.

Well guys, I thought I would give this a shot. It is really not my style of music that I normally play so take an easy on me. Not much to say just played around in E mostly some bad notes but oh well.

Ok so I know that I can't hang with the big boys but I wanted to try this out and participate. It was quite fun.

I know that at times my timing was off and at times I got a little lost. Just keep in mind I have owned a guitar for 5 weeks.

I wanted it to be kinda mellow and easy. I used podfarm with a simple setup of a Tweed Bassman, Compressor, and Hall reverb. I pretty much tried to stay in C minor pent.

Zog I think you did a fine job.. Some real smooth fast passages in there. nice playing. Jbitz.. nice work.. at times some of the notes of the cminor pent really stand out there. overall it's different and good.

I think I'm done with this jam track, so if I have an opportunity, I'll give everyone else's take a listen. Hopefully this evening.
