Hey Folks, welcome back to the channel, and I hope you enjoy my newest guitar jam track, '"Beware of Strangers with Pudding Pops". This one is in the key of E Minor and has a nice groove and somewhat upbeat tempo at 90bpm. This track is a bit of a hybrid, including some elements that are Apple loops and others that are played with my own instruments. This one was played with the IYV PRS Style guitar and my Godin Session Custom '59 (triple play) which you can hear in the horns and piano, which I added to spice things up since its all the same basic chord structure (and that can get monotonous).
This one is pretty simple in terms of structure, mostly being a vamp in E Minor, with the turnaround having a change from E Minor to G to A and then back to E Minor. There is also a short breakdown and that basically just vamps between the E Minor and a D. This might be a good track for folks who want to practice solos over a song with minimal chord changes.
Creation Time: This one took about 4 hours total including video production time.
What is my process: I usually start by trying to select a cool drum track and after that go from there. Usually, Bass lines go next, but it just depends on how I am feeling. Sometimes, I already have a melody in my head and just try to find a drum arrangement that suits it, but other times I just noodle and see where it goes (this was one of those times, does the drum sound sort of familiar???).
Why No Chorus/Middle8 on some of these jam tracks? Generally speaking, if I go to the trouble of going further than what is presented, its usually because I intend to make it a song for my own projects and that is often why I only present a basic melody or structure to get folks started with an idea... So, I hope you enjoy, and take it somewhere else, or rock out to it as presented, totally your choice....
As always, no humans or animals were harmed in the production of this jam track/video and no representation is being made in terms of material, it is not intended to represent any type of copyrighted work(s) and/or piece(s) of another artist, it's just an original jam track that I came up with and its aim is to please the people...
If anyone has the urge to rock out to a jam track that I have posted here and record it, I would love to see it and see where you go with the arrangement(s). Rock on!!!
If you would like to use this track for commercial or public usage purposes (rocking out to it for the purposes of a video for your channel is totally cool), please contact me to discuss licensing options.
If anyone has any questions about any of the gear you see in my videos more information can be found below:
Gear I use when recording (Note: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases) :
FireFly Double Cut (DC) Guitar: amzn.to/2HSsaJv
Boss Katana : amzn.to/2T4mIIZ
I also sometimes use the Tonewood amp when recording acoustic, and it's a real source of inspiration at times. It is featured in today's video: amzn.to/2SSHuMS
Today's settings were #4 Delay - Feedback: 5 / Reverb: 9 / Speed: 11
Roadie 2 Automatic Tuner (this thing is awesome!!!!):
amzn.to/2STBOCh
Behringer TO800 Vintage Tube-Sound Overdrive : amzn.to/38Q2r0d
In terms of strings, I usually use Exilers, here is an example of a set I frequently use:
Elixir Strings Electric Guitar Strings w POLYWEB Coating, Light (.010-.046): amzn.to/32h7qVv
Most of the MIDI instrumentation (violins, trumpets, horns/sax, drums, and anything else under the sun I usually perform on my Godin Session Custom '59 with built in TriplePlay. Here is the same basic version I play regularly to make these tracks: amzn.to/2vW6o50
I also have an external Fishman TriplePlay I have installed on my Grestch 5230T, the Gretsch can be found further down, but the external TriplePlay Unit can be found here: amzn.to/2vToi8y
Gretsch 5230T With Bigsby: amzn.to/37TyVWa
