Great backing track

Kirk Lorange · #1 May 28th, 2005

Someone at Wholenote forum posted an really neat backing track ... something called Footprint (?) by Wayne Shorter, who I found out is a sax player. It's very jazzy ... super extended chords. The track itself is great, crisp, beautifully mixed, a joy to listen to without any lead line.

Here is my slide solo over it:

cool take on that. I have been jamming on that all week. The guy who put it together lives on another forum I belong to. He redid the bt a week after another member put together a more jazzy jangly version if you know what I mean. I would post it here but , the last time a non member follwed a link into that forum, he plundered the bt files and really racked up the bandwidth so now it's password protected. I will ask him if its ok to upload his version to wholenote if your interested. It is cool how these two bts using the same chords have such a different feel. I like them both a lot.

this is red ants jangly jazz version. I bet you would play over this one completely different. It would be cool to hear what you do with this and compare it to the other. He says the chord prog is Cm7, Fm7, D9,Db9. Seems to work for both bts.

I can't link to it so you will have to go get if if you want to hear it. It's here.

I listened to that one allthumbs ... not quite as mellow sounding as this one. I'll give it a whirl when I can.

Hi Kirk. Norm just posted another cool b.t on the gear page I think you would like jammin over. A herbie hancock tune.

Anyone ever hear Derek Trucks' version?
