Carlo Sings, who wants to do the solo?

[archtop]

Had Carlo over here today puttin' a vocal on some stuff,

and he knocked out what I think is a great vocal on this version of "Drown in my own Tears" that I been dookin' with.

In the spirit of colaboration and comraderie

Who wants to do a solo ?

Come one, come all.

It's pretty obvious where the solo goes
(there's no vocal at solo section)

Just copy a couple bars of the tune before the solo on to your track so I know where to line it up to, and we should be good to go.

It's kind of a tricky one to solo to, pentatonic don't work so well, but I'de love to hear what you got.

[imagineaudio]

i do



i call first dibs

[archtop]

Sweet Imagine, I anxiously await your reply.


Come y'all, this is the first invitational callab, don't be shy.

[Mojo]

Caveat... bassist playing guitar.

I've got blisters on my fingers! (http://home.comcast.net/~bluemojo/music/Drown.mp3)

Just thought I'd have a go with it. T'was fun even though my guitar chops suck.

[Tim Halligan]

Er...


I think I've just proved that I can't play the blues... Roll eyes



Cheers,

Tim

[archtop]

Sweet guys, that's what I'm talkin' about.

This way you guys can knock out solo's at your pace, and not have to smell my farts, .....nice huh!.

[Carlo]

Man, I could sit around all day listening to the sweet passes of lead work...keep it comin'!

[imagineaudio]

Well, all I have laying around right now in working order is one of the marvels of engineering by line 6. Makes a $2500 les paul sound like a $99 k-mart special.:Thumbdown:

[omikl]

Another clownfucker contribution here. Havnig ankle-biters around means I have to go direct, which means Toneport time...

[archtop]

Some tasty solo's fellers.

If you ask me this is whats great about the internet.

[imagineaudio]

yeah, well, this and porn.

[Mixerpuppet]

Well except for me...


It's just another reminder in why I shouldn't log in...


Nice stuff guys!


I think I'll go watch Crossroads...

Been meaning to submit a track for your project Richard but I'm being summoned to the next county to help my mom get my dad out of the hospital. Gotta get the old dude squared away puuting up an extra stair rail, hooking up another tv, etc.

Hopefully tommorrow.

Great job so far on this tune. :Thumbsup:

[MudCat]

Carlo...your vocal kills as usual.....I would love to play on this, but can't stop what I'm doing just yet. I'll try to later though. Hi arch...it's sounding great.:Thumbsup:


-mudcat

[volthause]

I'd love to take a crack at a little solo, but I'm totally not going to follow up MudCat! :lol:

I like the vibe of this one a lot.

[nobby]

Alrighty. Had a good chance to listen.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Carlo's vox KICK ASS!.

Arrangement totally rocks, Arch. Holy Leon Russell! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Dogs_and_Englishmen_(album))

P.S. I woulda made the lead a whole verse. Next time, I'm telling my mom.

[archtop]

Nice solo Nobby.

You know it wasn't till I started listening to all these solos, goin' where's the last half of the solo section, I'm leavin' all these poor fella's hangin', oops, sorry.

[omikl]

Well, I wasn't gonna say anything 'cos I reckoned it was just my lack of ability :lol: I had to keep playing into where the vocals come back in or I couldn't get it to resolve :Coolio:

Get in quick then... :D

[nobby]

Been listening to the full length version of this while driving in my car. Remarkably authentic sounding, down to the gospel organ sound :Thumbsup:

Refreshing ear candy devoid of the harshness of the loudness wars.

[volthause]

Get in quick then... :D


Cheers,
Tim

Yeah, I messed with this a bit yesterday, and I've gotta say that I'm coming up empty handed. I bow, defeated. :Coolio:

[chrisj]

My last encounter with the blues was me posting a clip over at the M****. Everyone more or less agreed I should be killed.

I'm not easily scared, so this is by way of penance (and you know I'm not easily scared on account of I know MUDCAT is going to follow!) :icon_eek:

DrownInChrisJ is the mixed-in solo section, RawChrisJTrack is the guitar with lead-in snippet to synch with.

[stoner]

Here is one of my takes on it...:grin:

Here comes the Swiss Blues

I had to set up my Digi002 rig and wanted to try this Amplitube stuff - it sucks as you guys can hear - but it was fun to fiddle around

[Carlo]

I'm waitin' here like the guy sittin' on the board of the dunk tank at the carnival, for someone to hit the bullseye...I really want someone to stomp all over the choir, and really flame this sumbitch!

Stretch it baby, stretch it!!:Twisted:

[imagineaudio]

stomping on the choir... well being a metal guy, shouldn't be a problem... I shall return

[chrisj]

Dude, stomping on your VOCAL would just be wrong... :D

[nobby]

Dude, stomping on your VOCAL would just be wrong... :D

They call me "Mr.Wrong". If that hasn't been beaten to death as a song title (Hmmm... maybe even if it has...) I'm using it.

Anyway clearly the man axed for it.

Stretch it baby, stretch it!!

BYW, there's stomping, and there's "stomping". If you use less distortion on the guitar, its envelope decays quicker and allows the backround to breathe. Also, it's a good idea not to "print the FX to 'tape' which also allows the mixer to do his/ her thing.

And of course, Archtop determines how much or how little to use, whether to comp takes, make it into a ring tone, shitcan it in its entirety, have Aardvark erase and re-record the tracks, or whatever. He's the producer on this little joy ride. :Coolio:

[emtou2u]

Beautiful vox Carlo (as usual but no less worth mentioning)!

Nobby - you need to rethink your "Interests" you didn't butcher this at all - on the contrary to shook the house.

Loved it!!!!!!!

[omikl]

Ok. Taste and restraint kicked bleeding into a corner it is then:

All rough as a bear's arse one take run throughs done clownfucking stylee :very happy:

[nobby]

I promised I wouldn't lick his face, smell his ass or hump his leg.

Thanks! I'll take a bowowow. :grin:

Aw, shucks... Thanks! :Coolio:

[archtop]

Very nicely done.

[nobby]

Something I'm curious about -- Alright, Carlo, lead vox, Archtop drums, organ, rhythm guitar.

Bass guitar, Archtop also? BGVs, Carlo, Arch, anyone else?

[archtop]

Me all the stuff

Carlo all the non stuff.

[Carlo]

Archtop played the whole piece at his Plumtree studio, and I sang the leads, and the back-up...this little choked-up tenor even got to put a bass line in...it ain't Ray's girls, but it works in a pinch.

I'd imagine it would sound more organic if Arch had put some lines in the choir, to break the sounds up...but live and learn!!

[MudCat]

I just listened to all the different solos, one after another....some mighty sweet stuff. Kudos to all you guys...:Wink:

"The Carlettes"

You had me fooled. In that mix I thought it was a choir. Nice room at Plumtree too... sounds like you've got some room mic in there or backed off the mic. Arch does have a nice voice and ought to put it to use soon.

[drummertom]

Thanks for sharing this stuff guys! Excellent work by all. Carlo, the vox are great.

[chrisj]

You gotta play, MudCat! I want somebody else to attempt the actual changes :D

[Trazan]

Well I just got myself a DeArmond with Bigsby, so this song is a perfect test drive! :Coolio:

[nobby]

Nice one, Traz.

[Carlo]

Nice one, Traz.

Ditto on that one...Traz, you killed that solo! Thanks!!:Thumbsup: :Thumbsup:

[Cosmic Pig]

Jeez I hate to follow Traz... nice one dude. I'd like to hear what you do with Sleepwalk.

But good job all you guys. Some nice tones and chops all round.

Perhaps a bunch of excuses will help the sound on this.

The Leslie cab happened to be all setup so I used that, but it don't work for blues so well. I have three broken fingers and am in a lot of pain. My dog ate my picks. Aliens abducted me right in the middle, you can hear when it happens by the faltering noodly bits trailing off in astonishment.

Cos.

[frnjplayer]

Nice one, Traz.
Yeah what he said.
Freakin glorious.

[Cosmic Pig]

Yeah what he said.
Freakin glorious.

Sure it was great and all, but double stops and Bigsbies are a teensy bit gay. Do I win a prize or anything? Hello? Is this thing on?

Cos.

[Cosmic Pig]

And then you guys say... "Yeah but it's better than regurgitated old SRV crap."

Sometimes it feels like Kato jumping out of the closet but there's no Inspector clouseau to play with. Fine I'll just fight with myself.

Cos.

[FajitaTone]

who was the winner of this exercise?



WHO?!?

Do I win a prize or anything?

You've won an album.

LMFBO! Hey I'm doing the bass player in that band, 3rd from the left.

Hey Nobby, the first time I skimmed your sig line I got mixing is like playing Grand Theft Auto... I thought it was pretty funny.

Cos.

[omikl]

My God! They look like photo's of my Mom circa '67 :D

I think you're recording and producing her also.

Did you think it was a coincidence that I chose that particular album cover? :grin:

[Cosmic Pig]

My God! They look like photo's of my Mom circa '67 :D

Close, that was '68. Cosmic Wifey did some cool stuff back in the day. That's her in the middle with the Dave Clark Five in the back. She still kix ass too. Usually mine.

I think you're recording and producing her also.

Yup on recording, but she's too mean to produce. Once in a while I can sneak some producing in when she's not beating me horribly for more reverb. Sometimes when she's passed out drunk I'll touch her boob, but it's dangerous.

If you never hear from me again you'll know it's because she read this and I'm dead.

Cos.
