Hey guys, here's an improv I did over Robert's Bm Jam backing track. Let me know what you think.

I really liked how you started out and built with it.
Very good timing  (my timing is getting better, so I listen to others)
The guitar playing actually sounds like it is talking to us and that is cool
You actually make it sound so simple 

good stuff pic

When I first heard Robert's Bm Blues track, I think of "BB King". You did a good job of makin' that jam yours Pic.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. 

I'm still working on my timing also hillbilly joe. I'm just now getting my fingers to do what I want and go where I want them to. 

zagatron, this one was an easy one for me in that I had most of the phrasing in my head the first time or two I listened to Robert's backing track.

Very nice, it starts off softly and flows nicely over the backing track.

very cool stuff!
may i ask,  what do you do? record an mp3 and upload it to that site?
did you play the backing track on your stereo or something and then play along while recording it?

I'm plugging my guitar straight into the line input on my PC with a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter. I used Ableton to record this and loaded Robert's Bm Blues backing track on one track and recorded my improv on another track using AmpliTube for the guitar effects.

After I exported the finished file to wav, I used Audacity to convert to MP3 and uploaded it to Box.net

cool, thanx!

[pictoratus]

no problem. I'm still pretty new at this but if I can help I will.

i tried it karoke style, by recording myself playing to the backing track. the results weren't terrible, although i'm not feilding calls from capitol or emi or anybody.

I find I do better if I play to either a backing track from the web or that I've recorded myself than I do playing with no accompaniment. Even if it's just a drum track, but I get more ideas if it is a rhythm track I'm playing along with.
