I did this at a rehearsal room the other day.

We were doing a tune up and the bassist and i noticed that while he was playing a nice B F (if memory is good) on the Bass I was playing a D Chord and it sounded quite nice.

So we started the recording and just recorded this off the cuff. First thing we played; cold, not warmed up, yet my favorite of the evening. I really like the fact that it seems like there is more music behind it, it has a feel of a sound that isn't actually there. Or maybe that is just me being insane.

I am really impressed because it sounds like we said, lets do a couple of bars of this then go into that, but it never happened like that, so the fact that we ended up with an intro is pure crazy luck and perhaps a bit of that band telepathy that forms after awhile.

Let me know what you think.

Fong,
That sounded pretty good but it was hard to hear over the drums, they were a little to much up front.

Hopefully this will be the last recording ruined by our ineptitude at setting up, though to be fair it is not all our fault.

We just bought a bit of kit I expect to be delivered in the morning that will fix all our recording problems.

Nice embryo of a tune there, Fong.

The bass was actually going F to Bb while you were playing Dminor-ish licks over the top which turned it into a F6 to Bmaj7 progression ... in case you were wondering. So, if you were to get a keyboard player in on that, you could get him to play some nice spread out F6 to BMaj7 chords and it would sound very nice indeed.

Cheers for the Info Kirk I was wondering what else I could add to it.

And yes you are of course correct, it was Bb, the moment you said it I remembered it.

Hi Fong, I can always hear better things to come in your playing. That's not meant as a criticism, far from it. You have an instinctive improvisational feel which can only get better the more you play.

Thanks! A friend said he thought I sounded hesitant and I think I am some times.

Always amazes me when I listen back to something like that, I can't believe it is me playing.

nice jam tune there, could have been a little louder on the guitar though, might be my ears
