The Watering Hole

Friday Night Jams

Hey guys

A 335 guitar with humbuckers into Pod HD500 DrZ/Treadplate dual amp patch.
Trying to learn how to play guitar again, so it's very average, sounds decent through headphones.

Still using my old Soundblaster soundcard, same one from 10 years ago. :)

Backing track.

So - how does someone download the backing track!!
Found it - with some combination to get to the page where I downloaded.

2nd take.

Badly flubbed ending - wasn't expecting it - lost in the jam.
Very nice, Fingers...real bluesy.

What you using to record these days?
It has been so long since I've had a few minutes to record I feel like I'm coming out of retirement.

The dogs keep raising hell when they hear you count in.  ;D

Regardless of their opinion, I thought it a nice touch and a great sounding track and I couldn't resist a quick pass.

Thanks.


Very nice Lance - Trying to relearn?  Not buying it.

Fingers - Nice touch and tone.

Varies - C30 mic'd or it direct through a IR Cab
or softtubes Vintage Amp - which is this.
I may do another take it's a bit too flub ridden.

Nice takes from both CD and Tobe - just listening now


btw CD - you can attach jams directly - forget the soundclick thing.

also - is that a BT you made, Peter - or found online with a cut an paste job ?

Just as it seems 30s longer for you
Fingers

It's just one of the backing tracks I have on my PC.
I felt like continuing the solo so I copied the backing track and inserted it at the end of the first backing track.
I couldn't get it to fit perfectly, the drums are a bit off as the second backing track comes in, but that's why mine is longer than your's. :)

Tobe - sounds very cool.
nice jams guys

fun track, thanks for posting (and welcome back)

Jezuz!!!
This is another level of guitar playing skills...excellent stuff.  :)
Love the rhythm chords you're using.

What amp you micing these days?
thanks!

this was THD flexi - it has a better mid-gain strat thing going on than the uberschall (which I use for almost everything else).

**forgot... Xotic BB also but only in the middle part.
Great job to all of you.  Fing, you kinda sat in the pocket a bit more than usual.  I'm used to hearing you get loose.  Maybe have a couple beers before your next one, and funk it up a little.   :)  
Nice to meet you again CD !

Nice takes, gents !

Here's my attempt...again payin' more attention to the noise I make than the few notes I play..

Ciao!

very nice, Marco!  Very tasteful!  HD500?    Patch?   :)
sounds good through an iPad speaker... heh, I think bodes well for monitor listening later.  :)
Ok - so had another jam.

DTR - took your advice and had more than a few beers

It's still not enough. :)

I need sit down one day and down  a litre bottle of vodka and see what happens   ;)
🎵 CrazyDBluesJamFingRetake.mp3
Marco - excellent stuff.
Sounds like a Pod HD, correct?

Fingers - even better than take one.
Thanks !

Sorry, no patch..It's the amp I've at home to test: a Fender HRD ! ;)
It's just arrived and I've to learn how to tweak the EQ.
The amp is LOUD  and I've recorded my take using the Fulldrive at low low low volume to be able to play at night !
For the kind of music I like to play I think this amp will remain with me. Cleans are really good and the drive channel, at low gain settings, is not that bad.  

Ciao!

Nice Marco, playing as usual is very good. Tone is excellent. Trying out a Hot Rod Deluxe. I have had mine for years and years, love that amp. Put in some hi gain JJ's in the pre amp section and hot JJ power tubes in the power section, and bump up the BIAS to about 82 MV or so. And what a difference, it goes from nice and round to super fat sounding without being flubby. Stick a nice distortion pedal in front of a nicely eq'd clean channel and put the channel switching pedal away. Can't do better for my ears for the blues and blues based rock.

Are you on Facebook? They started a new Bert Cave section over there as well, just pvt me or most anyone here your Facebook profile, and I or anyone here will add you to the group.
I took a shot Lance.  Sorry ...

I think I have it attached here.  I had a PM the MP3 was not working.  Sorry.

Having listened to the other takes I concur with DB.  You boys can play!  Nice interpretations as well.
Thanks !
Nice takes here, really nice !


@DBM, I've sento a PM to you! ;)

Ciao!
Marco
Nice job Dale!   Only can listen on tiny laptop speakers now, but the tone sounds nice too.  What was the signal chain for this one?  Tweaker/Blue Dog?
DreamTheaterRules — Mar 02, 2011 What was the signal chain for this one?  Tweaker/Blue Dog?
