Guitar Challenge (Improv) - 3, 2, 1 improvisations

Ding Ding Round Two :boxing_glove: :boxing_glove:

So when this all started and I saw the 3 notes involved, it immediately got me thinking of an unfinished project, again instigated by our man in Alberta. So it just so happens Stitch and I love a bit of Southern Rock and just a touch of Skynyrd. :wink: So the plan was to borrow part of the intro to I Need You but I just could not get it to fit with the backing tracks I created.
Realising that the original is in 3/4 and all the BTs are in 4/4 solved the mystery, it was the just a matter of creating a suitable backing track using the Am and D7. A quick lift of the opening bars from Jacksonville’s finest that was already in GuitarPro and a new track was built on 20 bar cycle using our 2 chords (yes there is a C in the intro but don’t tell anyone!)

So a couple of days noodling around adapting licks and chewing the fat with Rick via message, I finally got the “Inspired By Skynyrd” impro recorded. I had loads of issues with ASIO losing sight of my Audio Interface in Reaper (which hosted the BT) and it took way longer than it should have done and could have been better, as the tech issues started messing with me head. :exploding_head:

So here you go. Oh I couldn’t resist a little blague at the end :rofl:

This BT is just 1:49 in length which I found restrictive but used to target 3 positions.
I will upload that and the others I created, which are 2:19, 5:19 and 10:19 into the shared folder who’s link appears earlier in the thread.

Usual comments and feedback welcome.

Cheers

Toby
