What a horrible week. Let's just play some music. Freddie Green's birthday was Tuesday...and we lost Bucky yesterday. Just play one chorus of rhythm guitar. Don't even name the tune. Any genre, any style even. Just add to this and keep it going. No skill assessment. Just play. Everybody has a phone. Hit record and keep the rhythm going.

Perfect.
C'mon y'all. Phone +youtube. Keep it going, no excuses. Play some rhythm...the nightly news can wait. Itll still be shit in the morning.

Sounding good y'all. Keep it going

Nice, Jeff. And I recognized the tune (but won't name it, lest it spoil that recognition for others.)

OK - I'll play:

I just had a thought: next we all could play over these rhythm tracks, head or improvisation. Would be pretty cool.
-
Would need to download files?
-
I like low tech...probably just play it through a bluetooth speaker on the background. I'll try a sound test in a bit. Originally Posted by christianm77

Sounds like a tune Bobby would sing with the Dead. Love it. Originally Posted by MarkRhodes

Heres one, just sitting in front of phone, I put my rhythm track (playing in browser on my ipad) through my Bose bluetooth speaker and hoped for the best. Pretty balanced for a first take. I think I'll see if anybody else posts rhythm tracks, and I'll challenge myself to do a longer video tomorrow and try playing over a few of them (not at the same time, obviously
)

Another chorus of rhythm, this one for an actual standard, though one normally sung and taken more uptempo. But this is the way I like to play it, more or less. (The bridge is one chord and I didn't do anything with it---because I'm usually singing this when I play it, I never thought I needed to do anything with it!---but I think the rest hangs together well enough.
-
Not sure if this is quite within the given parameters, but it’s the nearest thing I’ve got already recorded.
-
Tried another one:
-
Attempt to play with a thread clip, rag's very nice bossa. I've never played this tune in Db, in fact, I've played very few tunes in Db... this is not my greatest moment in improvisational music, but it was fun playing along with a forum member.
-
Not what you asked for, but what the hell. I had a spare 10 mins
-
OK, so taking a page out of the Mr. B. book, I looped mine in GarageBand, then played it back through my bluetooth speaker, played along, and recorded with my phone. Lo-fi enough?

All of You works veeerrrryyy nicely as a old school swinger on a Selmac doesn't it... Nice!

Hey guys. It's easy to do audio play along with these clips. If you have a tablet or smart phone, just go to the forum on that device and play the clip, using the headphone jack to send the audio to your recording device (if you are using direct lines) and play your guitar into the other. Or of course you can send the audio through a speaker and record with the mic on your phone.
-
John, that sounds great!
-
It does indeed. I was thinking "of course I does, it's a swing era tune," but then I looked it up just now, and it's much later than I realized -- 1954. Cole Porter was a badass. Fred Astaire, too. Originally Posted by christianm77

That was just a few minutes work. To do it right, I could have mic'ed my guitar and played into GarageBand while video-ing, then pasted the GarageBand mix into my video editor and sync'ed them. But that seemed way beyond the spirit of the enterprise. I also could have just done the audio, which would have sounded better, but then you all would have been denied my stunning cinematography.

Awesome! You really have that style down, and that Kay sounds great. Originally Posted by mr. beaumont

Edited and looped this one into multiple choruses as well. This time made the video with an iPad (note to self ...), which is definitely better than my phone.

Woke up this morning want to play this one.
Such comping sounds better on my Ibanez with flatwounds but the Tele is my main guitar now, so I've got to accept the squeak, I guess. ;o)
-
I haven't done this for anyone but as we're all here... I thought I'd try something over those bossa chords. It's a tricky little number, I tell you.
-
I'll surely jam along with this. Originally Posted by MarkRhodes

I think some chicken pickin might work on this
-
If you are feeling like something a teeny bit more chilled out
-
Here we go...
