The drummer I've just started playing with again (I used to in about year 9 but he stopped playing for a while) sent me this track of him jamming with a bassist we know, so I had a go at making up some stuff to go over the top. Cant tell if I like how it sounds or if its just too boring and uninspired cos I'm not used to playing this sort of thing :lol: It's all a bit sloppy expecially on my part but here we go:

Improvements or any other advice?
I'm just hoping that the bassist will tone things down a bit (especially the slapping) when we play with me there, as he wont need to compensate for the lack of guitar :) I've introduced the drummer to stoner rock riffage and he likes it so I think things will be going the way I'd prefer soon :P

SOunds prety good Tom. With a good singer over the top, it could sound excellent.
I think you'd find the bassist would calm it down with a guitar playing too. It's a fairly natural response for him to fill things out if there's not really enough instruments playing at the time.
I hope it all comes together for you !
Are there any budding singers waiting in the wings ?
-
Nope we dont know any good singers at the minute :( Very annoying, it's so hard to find a good one.

Ain't that the truth !!
We have a great singer, but I'm fully aware that he is worth his weight in gold.

Yeah the singer in the cover band I used to be in is really good, its a shame I had to leave a good band but I just couldnt deal with covers and going back home to gig and practice every week or so.

Sounds great Tom! :D Good luck with this.
-
Sounds darn good to me Tom.The makings of a fine band.
-
Yeah, sounding good, good luck with this - hope it works out :D

Cheers, I hope you arent just sayign this to keep my spirits up :P
I feel like I need a trem pedal now, I use trem loads when recording to make single note stuff sound more interesting.. the BYOC kit is only £44 :idea:

No not at all, it does sound good.
Does that http://www.buildyourownpedal.com/ (http://www.buildyourownpedal.com/) do anything?

Good stuff Tom - I like the main riff you play. It's got a nice bit of groove.
-
Well we just had our second "jam" - this time without the bassist (didnt show up) but with Bucketshred from this forum and one of the vocalists from Raging Speedhorn. We made up some riffage and it sounded $%&#ing brutal :D
-
^ :lol: Sounds like you had some fun!

Oh yes we did and Tom has much better tone than I do too!
