Hey Folks, welcome back to the channel. This next video is a short break from the live music offerings and is a fairly simple (in the sense that it only has two chords) backing track in the key of C# Minor. I have been incredibly busy and haven't had any time to break additional live music content out but hopefully will have some stuff for next week or two for folks who appreciate the live music.
For folks interested in jamming along, this one is basically just C# Minor to B. To BSus4 and then B again. Most of the instrumentation I did with the Godin Custom Session '59 Triple Play but I did get the new Akai MIDI Controller in the mix with the horns. This one also features the IVY Jazz Box playing the riff that drives the melody for this one...
Creation Time: This one took about 7 hours total including video production time. I started this one a long time ago and back burnered it, started it/stopped it again several times and here we are. Some end of year cleaning. I am working on a change and some words for this but... well you know...
What is my process: I usually start by trying to select a cool drum track and after that go from there. This drum track stands out, I dig it. 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).
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) :
If anyone was interested in which Resonator model I recorded the rhythm and the lead lines with on this track, you can view it here:
amzn.to/2AZ70JX
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: amzn.to/2SSHuMS
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 Elixers, 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
