Open Improv Invite #88 - Dreamy Melodic Rock Backing Track in B Minor

[IsaiasO]

This track is a bit longer than usual to allow one to create a theme for their solo to the track---but, feel free to make it shorter, if you prefer:

I will be late to the party with this one between birthdays, communions and mothers days but will get in it. Thanks for posting

Thank you, IsaiasO:

Then there's this version that I did a year ago that I called "Epic" that was performed on the Les Paul (the recording, above, was done on the Strat):

Thanks for the fun @IsaiasO

Damn ... I try not to listen entries before I attempt it so I don't subconsciously copy bits. I almost didn't bother posting mine after hearing these LOL

Here's my crack at it. I was happy with my tone while laying it down but after exporting, I wished I had cut the top end a bit but its not like that would have helped...

You guys have some chops. Back to the woodshed I go.

after listening back, I think I figured myself out about 3:55 in. If it were a guitar solo for an actual song I could possibly live with that chunk. Only took 4 minutes LOL

It sounds fine. Tranquilo, amigo.

Thanks, all. Look for a new track tomorrow around noon US east coast time.

I didn't expect to go the distance on this one (and certainly don't expect anyone to listen to all of this) but it was a fun track in one of my favorite keys so I just kept going. Thanks as always @IsaiasO for the track.

Epic! You certainly did keep it going with drive and energy. I pictured you in a stadium Slash style….strutting around the stage….boot on the monitor and head thrown back from 2:30 to 3:20 with those flurries of legato playing. Then teasing the drummer with the pick sldes around 4:30. I loved how you brought to a soulful poignant conlusion too. Epic! Bravo!

Damn! You're way too kind. Thank you. It was a lot of noodling but the track seemed to allow for a bit of self indulgence. I'm consistently floored by yours and the others' takes which always keep raising the bar.

Participation has been light so I'm hoping others might jump into these.

Yes, one more day before the next track on Friday.

Face officially melted off! On top of everyone else's compliments I love your subtle sustain/feedback that fades out at the end of the climactic parts when it slows down. Very tasteful.
