I Made a backing track for everyone

[Richard O'connor]

Hi everyone, in light of recent forum conversations i made a backing track for everyone to solo over. Its only a minute or so long, i thought id keep it short and sweet. We aren’t trying to make the next exist after all lol.
I thought everyone could showcase their own solo to syn and or papa gates.
Im not sure how everyone wants to do this? Whether people just want to post their video back to this forum page, or post on community riffs. Would probably be easier to post back to this page so they are all in one page then instead of trying to find them. Here is the link. Enjoy

Richard’s backing track

 

[Dominik Gräber]

That’s awesome! Just wish I knew enough about theory to write a solo over it…

 

[Elton Breaux]

@dominik Just give it a shot bro. You might stumble on something that sounds awesome. You never know unless you try

 

[Dominik Gräber]

@elton I may try it in the next few days although I have never written a solo before
@richard can you give me a hint for a scale to use or something that fits on there? I am just a total theory newbie

 

[Richard O'connor]

@dominik just give it a shot dude. It’s to showcase what you have learnt not to show off. It’s in a d minor key
Just Google d minor licks and there will be a tonne of stuff to learn. Just have a noodle around though and see what sounds Correct. Have fun with it

 

[Dominik Gräber]

Thanks @richard ! For me it is about to start at all and not to show off. And as I don’t feel like I have a very musical ear or feeling for it yet, it is really nice to have a starting point. I am here to learn

 

[Richard O'connor]

@dominik give it a try =)

 

[Tory Capman]

Thanks Richard! I look forward to playing around with it!

 

[John Tierney]

@richard LOVE THE TONE AND SOUND D minor scale or F Major if I’m not mistaken. Just screw around w/ it as if your a lead guy and that’s the band backing you up is that correct. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I’ve only played to Rocksmith or just by myself. I really liked this bud

 

[Richard O'connor]

How do u mean? If I understand what you are saying then yes, just solo over the top of it.
The idea was for everyone to post their video in the forum section so syn and papa gates could see. Sort of a showcase. A thank you sort of thing.

 

[John Tierney]

Ok I got it bud thanks hopefully I don’t screw up too much lol

 

[Richard O'connor]

@john nothing to screw up mate it’s to showcase what everyone has learnt and improved on. Idea was to show syn and papa gates. Their Is no competition

 

[Jen Hapke]

I’ve never written a solo. I think I haven’t even learned to play one by now. But I will give it a try because I just started playing something to the track and it was such a fun.
