SV Jam

[ShardNet]

Alright, the basic premise of this is that anyone who's interested records a solo on any instrument over a backing track, and at the end I put them all together to make one big SV Jam mp3. Your solo should be as long as the backing track to facilitate easy meshing of solos for the final product. BE SURE THAT THE BACKING TRACK IS AUDIBLE IN THE SONG, PREFERABLY AS A TRACK BEHIND YOUR SOLO.

The backing track is in A Minor, and can be found on my Purevolume account.

For now we're just going to see how many people are interested and capable, so anyone who wants to do this, say so here. =P

Playing:

Shard
Zae
Hylan


Undecided:

Lightnix

Not in association with the SV Comic Jam =D

I'm sure we'll be doing other styles of songs, right Shard? And we don't need to show off how fast we can play our notes or how high we can go or whatever. Just have fun with good music

I'll give a shot at improvising some notes. Exactly how long should the solo be? As long as the current backing (2:27)?

(I'll probably be using my acoustic, but have it as a bass)

Exactly, this is only the first one.

Yes, backing track length.

The only instrument I play is the keyboard. And not good, at that.

I'm out.

NOTE: NOT THE COMPUTER'S KEYBOARD.

It is open to any instrument, if you want to.

[Squirrel Hero]

Well, I suck at playing the keyboard anyways, so...

I'd rather not be ridiculed by the ENTIRE forum.

Completely improvsed solo
Apologies for the not-too-perfect sound quality with regards to clipping, I had the mic volume set a little too high. Though that said, the slight distortion does give it that edge.
Oh, and I think I messed up in a few sections (played G^♮ a few times instead of G^♯ near the middle and screwed up a little at the end)

Fixed URL.

I'll go ahead and fix it for you, but for everyone else's reference, you want to HEAR the backing track. Leave the BT on a separate track.

EDIT: Fixed, it's up on the Purevolume account, but it doesn't synch up at the end. I double and triple checked my work, it's just how you played it. Feel free to rerecord that. ( You don't have to, of course. )

[ShardNet]

Apologies for the doublepost. My submission is done, I did it in one take, in the spirit of actual jam sessions. It's uploading to purevolume now....

Great success.

I would do this piano solo I´m fairly decent at, but I lack respectable recording equipment.

And a piano.
