Father's Day Jam

After working in the yard this morning my family said what do you want to do today. I said leave me alone in my studio. They did and this is the quick and dirty jam that came out of today's work.

BiaB style = Jazz Rock 16th Quartet w/electric piano
Tempo = 100 BPM

I deleted the bass and guitar tracks.

Piano = Keys of the 70's - preset Stage Mark 32. I modified the track to better fit the song.
Drums = Steven Slate SSD 5 - Deluxe = preset Funk 2
Percussion - GM Soundfont

I am playing the guitar (Kramer NightRider) and the bass (Squire P-Bass) both through Amplitube presets.

The only FX is the Presonus Compression on the main output.

I was just having some fun but let me know what you think of this little quick and dirty and quirky jam.

Has a 70's vibe going. The guitar is very atmospheric and covered in reverb.

Nice jamming.

Whoa (spoken in a very deep voice). Fun jam, Mario. I like how the guitar and bass work together.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Used to do stuff like this back in the 70's, just get a cool groove going and jam over it forever. I miss those days!

Fun jam, Mario, enjoyed!

Hi MarioD,

The Hammond organ and the sound of the guitar come together in perfect symbiosis. It is very pleasant to listen to. Well done.

Nice guitar playing. I think it would work well for a movie soundtrack. Some kind of spy adventure, etc. Good backing band too.

'MarioD'...

Yes, sir, the 70's live on through your 'Father's Day Jam'! It's got a 'Riders on the Storm' kind of ambience to it. Thumbs-up on your electric guitar and bass performances, too.

Sounding good! The drums and bass work well. I would have liked the keys to sit back in the mix more, and the gtr brought up more front and center.

Thanks for sharing.

My goodness, sounds like some good jamming. Kinda reminds me of the sound from the song in the sixties, "Riders On The Storm" by the Doors!!

Hi Mario,

You described pretty much my father's day...
And see what can come out of that!
I like that baseline a lot in the melody. Nice sound. As Scott mentioned, you can play this for hours (although he meant to make a loop from it).

What can we expect on the 4th of july?

Have a nice day,
Hans
