Official LGM Jam #2

[jlynnb1]

All the busyness in my life is why I submitted my prior offering on this backing. 

cheater...

[JayP5150]

Dave, I think it's your take that's throwing me off lol.

My creative gland is all "What am I supposed to do now?!?"

And then I'm all "I don't know, creative gland, we'll think of something."

And then creative gland's all "Well, you're on your own, hot shot, cause I'm out of here!"

And I'm all, "But I love you, I'm sorry..."

The creative gland slams the door--he didn't even take a sweatshirt with him...

Then I cry for a minute, try to play guitar, and occasionally--only occasionally--I'll take forum posts WAY TOO FAR. LOL 

My bad. It's been an odd day.

...really odd... 

[JayP5150]

...really odd... 

LOL, sometimes I am...

That comedian thing fell through, so here I am, playing guitar and trying to contribute to others whenever possible lol.

Did you hit your head or something? 

[JayP5150]

Did you hit your head or something? 

I was told by my mother that when I was a young child, I use to play Superman off of the couch--once resulting in three stitches in my lower lip...

Not sure if that has anything to do with my quirkiness today or not lol.

Have I hit my head recently? Not that I recall... I get swung at occasionally by the wife, but those are usually chest and stomach blows (I'm KIDDING).

I still haven't got this together yet--my weekend turned out a ton different that planned, free time went to car maintenance, etc.

Hopefully get it done in the next day or so.

Oh, and Dave... your enclosure has been hand painted, cleared, and awaits labeling... I've got a few shipments I'm waiting on, and it'll be under the iron.

You want teaser shots, or are you a suspense fan?

jlynnb1, yours is next. I didn't want two projects going at once.

[gtrdave]

Leave me in suspense.
I really appreciate this and look forward to seeing and hearing this masterpiece when it's done. 

[JayP5150]

Dave, it's no problem. I will let you know as soon as it's fired up, and get some sound clips for you if possible.

I'm still waiting on a few parts I didn't have "in stock," but then I'll have it done within a day or so of that.

So... here's my submission. I might do something else with it, but I was having such a hard time the other day, I think this is it.

I had to put new strings on the Tele--and even whipped out the good mic--for inspiration.

I'm pleased with my tone, but there are a few bugs in the playing: a few off-time things, one or two goofs.

I threw that little slap guitar thing in there because I'm always fooling around with it, but never use it (a while ago there was a post about playing with your fingers, and the difference in speed... listen to that first change to E, that's all picked with my fingers  lol ).

I did break my one rule about recording, though... and I ask for your forgiveness ahead of time... I overdubbed a lick--just one, that's all.

It was way off time, and I really liked the rest of the cut. Sorry.

This was all one take (minus the one lick), and I think it was the 2nd one.

Let's see what y'all came up with. I'm getting antsy now lol.

It's labeled "LGM #2 (funk)." Let me know what's up.

[JayP5150]

Oh, I forgot to add that there's a lot of repetition in that track, too... but I'm spent. That's what you're getting lol.

you overdubbed?!?! oh the shame, i'm reporting you to the elders, lol.....

nice take man.....was that your tele?? for whatever reason it didn't sound like one to me. sounded great, just didn't sound "tele-ish". Always enjoy hearing your stuff man.

Now i have to come up with something....i think i might use my semi hollow.....we'll see, lol.

[JayP5150]

Yeah, that was the Tele. It has a SD Lil' 59 in the bridge, but that neck pickup I started on was stock. I'll never change that--I love that tone.

I do eventually want to wire in a second on and be able to switch it in and out (reverse wound), so I will have stock Tele neck p/u, and big-ol-fat neck p/u. I can't even fathom what two Tele neck p/u's as a humbucker would sound like. But we're talking a giant mod (and I don't own a router lol).

I appreciate the compliment, man. I was hoping to do more with it, but there it is, I guess.

[jlynnb1]

the biggest problem i have with this track is that i want to do more with it than it lets me....i want to build a little melody/motif over the first pass and then expand on it, but there is no time because you are twice through it and done.....

[JayP5150]

ctrl-c, ctrl-v, my man lol. (I guess it's "command" if you're on a Mac  )

Copy and paste.

I had to extend that last one we did because I forgot to stop playing, so I tacked on a few seconds, and faded 'er out.

Ha, I was simply having a hard time with this--now listen to jlynnb1; "I'm having a hard time because there's just not enough space for me to even begin to stretch my musical legs." lol

I am totally just kidding with you. I understand what you're saying. I think that's why mine was kinda all out from the go. Something will hit you. And I'm sure I'll be blown away by it.

lol, nah, it just feels like it needs some structure to play off of, and there isn't much time to develop it...i think it's because it's just kind of repetite musically, so i'm trying to make it more interesting, lol. we'll see what happens.....i had a cool idea for it but it didn't quite work, the song was a little slow for what i wanted to try....

[JayP5150]

How hypocritical did I sound by telling you to hack up the track after whining that I overdubbed one lick? lol

I just realized that.

As for the speed... speed it up (I'm kidding!).

Looking forward to whatever you've got in store.

Where is everyone else?

Yeah, don't bash Prince...pick on somebody new! 

[JayP5150]

I simply chose to bash Prince with my playing!

I'M KIDDING!!!!!

I bet everyone's too busy listening to J DuBose to record their own stuff...

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

 

Again, just kidding.

careful, that might get you banned...

[JayP5150]

I thought about that after I posted. I have no edit feature, as I still need to earn my green stars.

All in good fun, guys.
