I'm working with a bunch of new gear, so I'm still figuring stuff out.  This is a mid-paced track (105 bpm) in E minor.  Although I did mention being tired of blues jams, it's really the easiest to do.  The other backer I was working on I felt would have been too restrictive.
Bass and drums only for now.  I will make a rhythm but thought that you guys may want to do your own.  Have fun!

[AC]

For those who downloaded this track, please try again.  I had to do a remix as it didn't sound like the bass came through. 

[I/O Reddy]

I noticed that when I was working on it last night.  Now I'm going to have to come over there and beat you 

[AC]

Yeah, sorry about that.  The new track may still be a little weak on bass.  It's hard for me to tell as I'm trying to get used to a new reference.  With my old setup, it would have had too much bass.  I have to figure out how to hook up my reference speakers.

Did you get new monitors?

[AC]

Did you get new monitors?

Nope.  I got a Mac and am using Logic Express to record with.  As a result, I lost most of my pc software and am working with different tools.  Things sound very different and I haven't got my normal speakers hooked up yet. 
One thing that really stands out is the lack of latency.  Before I used to think it was me when my tracks were a millisecond behind.  Now it sounds right.  That was a big revelation.
The only software that I kept is Superior Drummer 2.0.  Everything else is new and I'm still working the learning curve.
I also got the Midisport Anniversary model.

[AC]

Ok, here's my take on it.  I did two versions.  The first is an all-out rocker.  Since the original concept of this tune is for us to tell stories through our guitars, I went back and used more vocal-based phrasing and abandoned the first version.  I hope it comes across that way.  Who's next?

[Dark Jer]

nice!

[AC]

Thanks bud!  I still think you should join in for the fun of it.

Ok I did up a track, not my best playing but the title of the song should be, New guitar jitters.

Just got the guitar in the mail today.

SM-Y2D next to my old wolf.

[AC]

Both your track and your new guitar are f'ing hot!!!  I love how you grooved into the swing feel of the track.  Thanks for joining in!
Musicman guitars are so frikkin' cool.  What's the neck carve on the Morse?  I never see those around here.

[I/O Reddy]

AC and Kard, both of your tracks sound great 

Here's mine. 

[kard2565]

Its 1 and 5/8ths like the wolf but a thinner c shape, and stays pretty much the same all the way up the neck where the wolf gets wider and thicker as it goes up to the 12th fret.  

[AC]

Holy crap!  You two just smoked my speakers! Awesome versions. 
I/O, it's really cool that you added that massive sounding rhythm.  What a monster track!

Thanks for the info Kard.  I always thought the Morse has a Fender C profile but wasn't sure.  What a cool pickup config.

[kard2565]

Both tracks sound damn good!!!  I always get lost when doing solos, sometimes I find my way but mostly end up flailing away in the dark
