Man, some good ones this month.
Here, I'll throw my hat in the ring and then I'll go back for second listens and comment on some more.

Ragman, dig the laid back old school style. Got some nice lines in there.

Just did a few choruses on attya with a metronome at 220bpm. I've never posted here before, but I'm looking forward to getting some feedback! It's just an iPhone recording, but it got the job done.

After listening and trying out the chords, the main problem I have with it is the ubiquitousness of the progression and it's parts.
From obvious ones, like "I Will Survive", over some local children songs, some of my own efforts in various incarnations and substitutions, be it pop, psychedelic, or electronic, to "Someone's Gonna Die" by The Blitz ... they all simultaneously ring around my head, especially during actual playing, producing too much noise, preventing me from thinking clearly ...
Seems I'd have to invent completely new song, unless I'm to aimlessly noodle around the chords as provided.
BTW, here I wrote my "lateral thinking" analysis, but deleted it. I did it because I've remembered that the other day, after being inspired by another thread I bothered to check couple of chapters from Levine's book (available in Google Books), once again I realized people (on the forum) are generally just repeating what someone else have said. Not much of an original idea, or approach. Here I talk about analysis and thought process. Actual playing is a bit different, as more people do present some freshness.
Anyway, once again, I've decided to join the crowd and mostly take, unless giving could provide some quick and obvious benefit.
If I record something, I'll post. In the meantime, one all MIDI instrumental Acid Jazz with chords somewhat similar to the 1st/ 2nd 8 bars of ATTYA progression ...

Thanks for your likes. It is quite wintery, isn't it?
(edit)
Well, since posting that there've been more likes. I can only say thank you. Maybe the winter picture makes it because by itself the music might be a bit dour. I wasn't sure you'd like it at all!Last edited by ragman1; 11-15-2016 at 11:33 PM.

Incidentally, here's a backing track of this tune I recorded a while back: just bass and guitar, for anybody who wants to download a different one to blow over.

That's a very good backing track, Paul. Bit quick for me, though
I hope others will do it, should be good.

I never took the practical standards threads as a means of sharing polished final products. Obviously, that's fine too, but that's not my angle.

But I appreciate not everyone has other musicians to play with and there only so much you can do solo. And backing tracks do have some uses for practice beyond jamming along with the changes.Last edited by christianm77; 11-20-2016 at 07:33 PM.

As you say, backing tracks have their uses. In fact, I'd say they were necessary tools - and you can make your own, of course.
One day I'll arrive with a solo thing, all by me :-)Last edited by ragman1; 11-20-2016 at 08:26 PM.

It's a sobering experience though. This is how I learned how I cannot actually play a melody haha!

I think probably I'm lucky because I have it fairly naturally but a lot of it is familiarity with the tune. Uncertainty can certainly make one speed up/slow down inadvertently. I think knowing what you're playing definitely helps timing.
