Anyone up for posting say a thirty second shot at whatever rhythem playing comes up to mind over these simple drums? I think it would be fun to listen to different approaches to the same beat. Post it right here in this thread, ain´t this the collab one? No competition, no nothing, just plain fun. Here it goes. If there are 2 posts uploaded I will record whatever fresh brainfart comes to mind and upload it as well. If not, well, enjoy the loops, :woot:

Hey Tony, Here's what sprang to my mind when I heard your drum loop...something short and simple.

Yeah! :woot: Sounded great Justin! Thanks for steppin in, keep em coming guys!

Well, I don´t want to leave you alone Justin, seems like everyone´s too busy tyding up their keyboards, :lol:. My turn to grab a mop and a bucket, damn, this room is full of dog toys!

Tony, that was great Bro!, I was half expecting you to start singing as well, sounds like that could easily be turned into a song with vocals, lots of character in your playing mate!.

Mop work done. Thx man, I sware to whatever I just hit the record button and let it flow. I was looking around for a pick and couldn´t find it, so there went my fingers. I loved the tone you had in there, really mean clean man! It sounded like some early eighties intro to a power rock song, cool! Great head banger for sure! Now lets see if any other guys bring up more stuff, it´s easy, just stop thinking for a minute about your reputation/covers and go for it! :woot:

There ya go mate, first thing that came into my head. Quick and clumsy, but I have a full day of intense practice coming up so no time to play with it, at least I posted sommat :thumb:

Just listened to the two posted so far. Both sound real good guys! Fun thread Tony, hope you get a few more on it :thumb:

Heres my contribution, a little different from the rest.

Cool! And welcome to the forum Mr. vitamin B2 LOL! Great nasty heavy rh, only thing I see is the guitar track is a bit behind the beat, due to latency, not the playing for sure. Thanks for stepping in!

Yeah I don't exactly have the best gear right now, I'm working on rebuilding my setup. Recorded with a super cheapo epiphone SG tuned to C and a v-amp2 going straight into my 8 yr old soundcard :lol:

Well, considering it was done on a "Super cheapo Epi SG" not bad at all............

I gave it another shot with my other guitar.

Try this, add some more guitar and see how it fits :)

Awe man! Loved it! I know it´s a gddamn tuesday night, just sat in front of my pc pretty tired, but now you´re responsible for me humming some ska! LOL! I´m ona plug the guitar right now! Awesome groove! Thanks a bunch!!

Sloppy, but it was what I had in my head atm. BTW, according to my tuner, the tuning is 3/4 in between E and Eb, had one helluva time for tuning the guitar, :lol:. I´m guessing you tune by feel, just like I do with the acoustic. Real cool playing man!

Sorry mate . In the band we always tune to E flat but I took the bass out of the bag the day after a gig and plugged in thinking it would be in tune. Well thats warwick for ya :lol:

Arrrgh! Ya did it on purpose huh ? ya teaser :lol: Oh well, was fun, haha! Time for dinner, shower, couch and sleep, :woot:

Here ya go Uke!

How about some good old Oasis inspired 4 chord Brit Rock! Not the tightest thing you'll ever hear but fun thread Tony my good man.:woot:

Nicely done Justin, Mr Ribo, Steve G, Leftbass and Uke. Cool to listen to the takes on this.

Ooooh, I forget about this little rhythm jam.Some very nice work guys, especially the Uke/Leftbass Reggae Jam, cool stuff :).

Cool stuff Andy! Gotta slide the guitar track a bit after recording whatever to catch up with the drums man, our beloved latency, lol! It´s so fun to listen what a simple 4x4 drum track can build up in your mind. No fills, no breaks, other than what you feel like playing atm. And thx Justin! LOL! I really had a hard time tuning the guitar as I said, but that bass line is so full of groove! (Way cool stuff yet again Lefty bro, :woot:)

Yeah I hear ya mate! But it bugs the shit outta me:lol: As you said cool to just play whatever. I get way too serious about what im trying to play sometimes!

Yeah Leftbass cool groove!

All are worthy efforts guys :) We'll have to do this again perhaps a bit more tempo in the drums.

We'll have to do this again perhaps a bit more tempo in the drums.
Deal, :D. I´ll fix up some and post them right here again as soon as I´m done.:woot:

I chose some 140 bpm tracks now, stuck in initial clicks, and very straight forward cymbals every now and then. Still simple stuff. Hot tater for the next guy, I´ll grab it for sure later on, :woot:

Hi Ukele, Here's a shot at your latest rhythm. Its a bit rough but you don't get much better at 10 on Sat morning after gigging the Fri. At least I've tuned to concert pitch for you. :boobies:

Way cool!!! :woot: Just came home from walking the dog. Even sat a while on a bench chatting with a homeless all drunk ex-legionario and chatted a bit of life with him. LOL! It´s true. Awe man, thanks for the fun! Gonna turn on the pod and see what comes up.

Man I love your bass playing. I got so much to learn. Here´s a simple groove to it. A bit of fingers too.

bored, came up with this lil bluesy bass line.

This is fun, keep the beats coming.

LOL!! B2, tune that damn guitar up man, seemed like it was way too stringed used!

It is in tune, I checked before I played and after I got done, the tuning is dead on. Maybe my v-amp's tuner is crap?

Ok, I just tuned with this tuner http://www.gieson.com/Library/projects/utilities/tuner/, and it's dead on, wtf.

Cool . I took a listen again. It really is way out of tune man. But long live fun :woot:

Dont be too hard on the lad Uke, after all the guy in the shop where he bought it said it was in tune. :wtf:
Only kidding B2

Aw man, no prob, my guitar is always off tune. B2 and me became friends last night through the chat box. :lol: . As I said before, fun is fun! :woot:

ouch i've been kicked in the junk twice in this thread now :lol:

No way! Only fun is allowed in this thread. And that is imperative.

Man I love your bass playing. I got so much to learn. Here´s a simple groove to it. A bit of fingers too.

Tony, you need to do something with this groove man. Your guitar licks and Leftbass' bass lines are tight!. I hear a melody and lead riff going on in my head with this one.

Bearman007

Just caught up on this one, nice playing by all, in tune or not :lol: Will have another shot at one of them later,time permitting.

Hey thanks man! Thread is all about throwing in whatever 30 sec or so idea, or so that was the original intention when I started it.. But Lefty did GREAT going through the whole thing. I´m sure I´ll mess with it again over the weekend, try and go through the whole thing as well. And for sure I´ll post more drums, to keep the crazyness going on. :woot:

Here´s a full sorta rhythm guitar thingie to Lefties groove, in the same vibe as the last one. Would love to see someone jump in an play some cool lead guitar over it! :woot:I´m unable to play what I have in mind over it, :lol:!
Now turn for fixing more drums. Any sort of beat preferences guys? I promise to keep out of the next one...(til the bug hits me again, :D)

Nice one Ukele, whether or not someone solos' over it you really got the groove going to compliment the rhythm. Have some tits as my gratitude :boobies:

how about a slow beat to inspire some atmospheric riddums!

Im itching to have another crack over these! My PC has died for the minute and should be getting it back in the next few days. Not that it would be much good but as said its all for fun!

Lefty and Uke, you should do a full collab someday, RHCP vibe instrumental! (just my opinion of course).:woot:

how about a slow beat to inspire some atmospheric riddums!
Deal again! :woot: I promise before the morning comes they will be done. And thanks man, a zillion thanks for the fun, :bowdown:

74 bpm, here ya go guys. :woot:

Come up with this on the spur of the moment. cheated a bit with cut and paste

Come up with this on the spur of the moment. cheated a bit with cut and paste
Cut & paste? No way! Go for whole thing damnit! (j/k). Cool stuff man!

45.368127 secs of a brainfart I had on this sat noon.

down to 50 bpm this time. Same as some I used a while back for something else. Damn it´s pouring, I wanna go to the Feria tonight but seems like a hard task to do, it´s pouring out there. An hour of humming, copying and pasting for this, enjoy.

Here´s another one. Boy I´m a sloppy guitar player, not to mention playing bass guitar, :lol:. WTF, I don´t give a shit, it´s all for fun ain´t it? :woot:
First one for jamming over, second one, me barking a bit over it.

Uke,..that was cool bro! Nice tone and playing!

Johnny

Awe damn, seems like this thread went kapput. Seems this site should be called coverblast.com, no, wait a minute, smoggieblast.com, ouch no, thats vocalblast.com, itsmeblast.com :lol: Oh well, Thanks J for listening man, though I intended to keep the thread as what it was when I first started it.

Aw dont give up Uke we're listening here at Smog HQ. Waiting for that wave man:lol:

Leftie! Wassup bro? LOL! Damn, choose a bpm, and I´ll fix it! Meantime here´s another one! Been playing some nasty (well, I tried, haha!) bass to this one these few a days back. Fun man! Long stuff, but easy to cut off whenever you wish to, God bless fade offs, haha!

Just fit in whatever you feel like, make that bass, guitar or whatever. I kinda thought of this thread like a fake live jam, just to see what people have in mind when they play rhythm. I think it´s fun to see how different minds aproach some same beat. Go for it man! And thanks for stepping in! :woot:

Ok, I´ll start it (again, :lol:). Just messed right now with a bit of a bass groove and some nylon geetar. Cmmon guys, it´s fun. Admins & mods who seldomly post any of their playing at the site are welcome as well! :woot:(j/k)

Hey Ukelele
I took some time tonight and slapped this together In the spirit i think was intended.I did it in about an hour and a half and left in all the warts and flub's.
But the cool thing is that i used the first idea that came to me and came up with a weird kinda funky blues thing.:tard:

LMAO!! Way cool Parker!! :bowdown: (Me turning it full up and banging my head at 9 am). You did fit in there a few tracks for sure, what´s that fuzzy sound I listened at the end? Awe man, punchy guitar playing, great vibe!

Thanks Buddy!

The Fuzzy sound is me playing the guitar line on a Bass set to Grunge on the cosm....those are tuff bends to make with those big strings but good practice.I recorded straight into my machine this time without using amps which is different for me but the sound came out ok.
Hey i listened to your composition and it was great!.How do you get such a good chunky bass sound?.And the Nylon classical was i nice touch too.:woot:

My biggest problem recording is comming up with complete drum lines or whole songs, i ussually just put one beat on and try and make a song out of it, i sure could use some pointers on how to program good drums like you have.

Park

I hear you about the composing stuff. I can´t think of any structure when I play guitar lol! Choruses? Verses? WTF are they? LOL! Thing is it´s all pretty much easy math, and hell, I´m a mathematician! But when it comes to making music I´m a washing machine. Oh well, it´s fun to make some noise now and then.
Bass, it´s an elcheapo chinese one I bought at some german store online. Plugged into a POD xtl, and tweaked a bassman amp emulation it has. It´s my favourite for E guitar too. Drums, they are from Beta Monkey. I bought them a couple years ago, love to copy and paste them within Audacity and have some fun over the weekends. And please don´t call my shitty thing a composition, that was just a few minutes of brainfarting, as everything I play, LOL! I never give the time or have patience for constructing something reasonably well thought, it´s just a ´hit the red button and go for whatever comes up´thing. BTW, gonna listen to your take again, this time without cans, fuck the neighbours, LOL!! Great GREAT funky stuff man!

Thanks for the explaination on your bass sound and the great comments you made!! You Britt's are damm nice fellows!!
Hey if i was to buy a pod what model is a good one...what one do you use.I have always liked Line 6 stuff and hell i think i have about 2 inches of space left in my recording room to fit it in.:lol:

My wife will probabley hit me over the head with it good thing it's red color already.

Thanks again Bud, or as you guy's say Mate.

Park

Wait a sec, I ain´t no red coat, :lol:. I am a North Carolinian, and Goddamn proud of it haha! (though I forgot how to type in english) Line 6 stuff, well, I can only say this XTL is really one fun toy. There´s a new one out, so you may grab one like mine for a reasonable price.

Damm It Thats right i forgot!!! North Carolina now i remember the "Handle Explanation"
Sorry ...YOU YANKS ARE ALLRIGHT TOO!!!!!! any country that can invent The Gibson Les Paul and the Fender Stratocaster are OK! in my book.,

Park

Awe shucks, I thought mr. Leftie was gonna leave here another bit of his awesome bass playing. Oh well, here´s mo funk stuff. Me myself and I, LOL! Someone stick some guitar in it damnit!

Here's my contribution lads!!:) It's been over 20 years since me and Paul jammed together so I couldn't resist it!!Anyway 1 guitar ,1 take, no overdubs:boobies: Enjoy a bit of Smoggyness:toothless:

Ukelele,that was great,very bluesy,I like the sound you got and the structure was mint:)
Parker that was mint also, :) had a very Lenny Kravitz feel to it.

:woot::lol: Smoggyness!! Ok ok, I´ll keep my mouth shut. Hell, after all it´s just fingers and fun ain´t it? Damn Lippy! That sounded so cool!!!! Dum!-da-da-dada-dum, dum! Oh yeah! Loved it man!

Great bass lines by Left bass....and Killer tone from lippy! what setting was you guitar sound on? it was a nice mix of huge overdrive and almost Queen like sustain and fullness.

Nice job you guy's.

I got this experiment mixed up i did all the tracks next time i will do just one and let someone else put other tracks over it.

Parker

Ok. Due to not having sex for breakfast this morning I had a go at my own thing. (I´m talking guitar playing, you dirty minds). I am especially proud of how I managed to stick in those awesome licks from min 2:52 till the end of it. I kept practicing and practicing until I finally knew the deal. If there are any questions, my manager will helpfully answer to all of them at www.vinotinto.com . Thanks for your support, I love you all! (Where the hell did I put the vacuum cleaner? Fuck!!)

Sorry Uke I had a go yesterday but it wasn't happening. I've been busy lately practising and gigging but here you go another riff to lay on some cool guitar. Its a bit mushy I don't know if its me or Audacity or whateva! :slap:
Dave nice one have another go and keep checking back for more. "Long live Smoggies" or is that a contradiction :wtf:

Mr. Southpaw!! Yeah! Me banging my head here! Boy those are some tasty lines for sure man!
Audacity, you cannot visualize VST´s like within other recording programs, but some of them work pretty good in it. Voxengo EssEQ and Tube Amp are great. http://www.voxengo.com/downloads/
Next time I wanna listen to your bass guitar playing full loud and proud! :woot:Man this kicked major ass!

Thanks Parker! I used my ashdown amp,di-out to my speaker emulators on guitar rig 3 in cubase 3, finished off with o-zone on the master effects to give it sparkle.The effects are ,delay from the onboard effects on the amp and a bit of chorus from my boss ch2 pedal.The guitar was a gibson les paul standard.:wtf:

Took a Bill Frisell patch for the pod, played over mr. Leftie´s awesome bass playing some rhythm guitar and a bit of smooth bits on another track thinking of Sade´s songs, LOL!!! You guys remember Sade? Boy she sure was some hot fancy precious cat! :woot:Mr. Southpaw, thx so much for the fun!:) Nother drum track comming up soon guys! BTW, I´d love to see some more addons to this one, there´s plenty of room in it for some tasty guitars in there!

Yeah I can hear it. I like where you've gone with this. Excellent. My mush is lost in the mix :woot:

Yeah I can hear it. I like where you've gone with this. Excellent. My mush is lost in the mix :woot:
Thanks man. :o Sorry, I know.... I swear I did not enhance anything on the tracks. Thing is your bass sounds too low to start with. I´d LOVE to have it up front. Could you send the single track to me please?

Don't get me wrong I meant it has been tidied up a bit. :)

lol, but I am serious. I´d like to beef up that bass track. Do you still have it?

here you are mate, enjoy

Here´s another one I just baked, sorta rasta brief included. :tard:. Hey Leftie, we gotta build up a genuine left handed band. Ok, it´s gotta be a virtual one. Oh well, that´s life. Absolutely no right hand folks welcome, period.:lol:

Cool. I'll have a go at that asap just now tho I have 2 Bad Co tunes to work on for this evening. Cheers. Are you left handed?:wtf:

Are you left handed?:wtf:
Even for taking a leak. Thing always aims to the left if I don´t hold it.:lol:. Yes. I am (and play, and write, and grab a mug, and etc. etc.) left handed.

Funny how these stuff upload. Now I see your file. Thanks man. Would be nice if you uploaded just the bass track. Assuming you record within Audacity (like me), select the bass track, go to File, and hit the export selection as mp3.

No can do. Once I saved as mp3 it merged bas and drums to one track and I didn't save the original. :( Sorry

No prob man, that´s alright. You cannot imagine how a mess my music files are, :lol:. But we sure oughta make some stuff together one of these days. Southpaw´s revenge! LOL!

I was diggin it!

I was diggin it!
Hehe... Oh well, tough shit. Why don´t you post this with your real nick? WTF, it´s just a fcking internet thingie. Beats me how some people get so bored. I deffinately have a lot of things to do for sure, ;)

Ola Tony!! :thumb: i checked out the thread the other day and saw you had got rid of the used files and this evening i got tired of working on a track im doing at the minute so i thought id have a fart about with a little riff that i played that got stuck in my head and this is what came out. I added some bass to the main riff to beef it up a little.Thought it was ok for this thread. Feel free to throw any leads guitars on it anyone.
