Herringbone funk jam

Messed around with this funk groove I found on another forum. Fun to play over! With this kind of stuff, you can play pretty much anything scale/arpeggio wise - as long as you end your idea on notes that belong to the key, it can sound pretty cool. :R

 

[SuperSwede]

It sounds great as usual Robert! It had a little Scott Henderson vibe to it

 

[FrankAxtell]

Yeah man...I heard those Scotty Henderson lick right away! VERY NICE

 

[Robert]

Thanks! It was a fun groove to play over. It would be fun to hear some other fretter play over this.

 

[SuperSwede]

I would like that backing track Robert, do you have a link for it?

 

[Robert]

It's here - http://www.eddegenaro.com/Anton/HerringboneBT.mp3

 

[SuperSwede]

Haha... I downloaded it and recorded a take right away...
I also had a hard time hearing the backing track, so mine is also full of bad timing. I really havent played this kind of jazz much, but it is fun to play with distorsion once in a while!
I ran out of ideas very quick so I tried a familiar melody.. it became... well listen yourself

It seems there is no end to the versatility of the Squier '51... Great job, Robert! Cool phrasing.R :R

Which pickup were you using?

Swede -

The "Dallas" theme? That was awesome!

 

[Robert]

Thanks Kat! I think I used mostly the humbucker on the coil tap.

 

[SuperSwede]

Kat - Yes the old dallas theme!

Robert - That ´51 sure does the coil tap thing good!

Hi SuperSwede – Personally I think you did a good job improvising on Herringbone BT. You are being too hard on yourself. Ok, the volume was a little low, but I think the solo was very nicely done. I wish I could improvise as well as you. I am working on it.

Way nice Robert... and swede... Liked watching the Video Robert.. and seeing the concentration you put into it... thanks for the backing..

Robert and SuperSwede, two great pieces of playing! You guys should form a Super Group like they use to do in the 70s.

[SuperSwede]

Super Group?

Hmmm.. we would need name then, like "New Guitarists On The Fret (NGOTF) perhaps?

 

[Robert]

I just listened to it now - I can see J.R. Ewing having a scotch! Cool take, Swede, nice tone you got there. The B/W Tele?

 

[SuperSwede]

Its the canadian guitar. Glad you liked it, it was the first take and I had a hard time hearing the backing (wasnt it slightly "blurry" ?)

Rob, dont you miss Kalles Kaviar? Im eating it right now on some knackebrod.. yummy

 

[Robert]

We have IKEA here, so I can get Kalles Kaviar! I miss Messmör the most.

The Tonelab seems like a great product, your sound is sweet.

We need to get more people jamming on songs! Nelskie? It's your turn!

Don't hold your breath Robert.. I been waiting 9 months for him to turn loose that Cyber-Twin and his new G&L... ohwell... (pokes Nelskie)

 

[SuperSwede]

Robert, I am not a big fan of Messmör... Does IKEA sell knäcke as well?

Nelskie, I second Roberts request. Lets hear some of that a-how how how G&L music
