Hi,
i've written a little lo-fi samba tune called "Samba felidae" (lo-fi
because
all that was used was my guitar and a shaker and because my microphone isn't
the best). And i think a solo by a non-guitar instrument would be quite nice
on it :)
So if anyone likes the tune and also likes to play a solo over it, please go
ahead..Or if you want to add anything else, go ahead, too :)
Anyways, here's a link:
http://tapas.affenbande.org/samba_felidae.ogg
It goes through the "melody" first for two times, then around 1:20 a full form
is played just with backing chords which leaves space for soloing until 2:04.
After that it goes through the head once again and then some pointless
noodling ;) But feel free to do what you want with it really :)
Changes are:
A:
||Ebmaj7 | |Bbmaj7 | |
|Am7b5 |D7 |Gm7 | |
|Cm7 F7| Dm7 Gm7 |Abmaj7 | |
|D7 | ||
A':
||Ebmaj7 | |Bbmaj7 | |
|Am7b5 |D7 |Gm7 | |
|A7 | |Dsus | |
|E7 | |A7 | ||
That is a wonderful song! Wish I could write songs like that; most of mine only have two
chords at most. Yours is much more interesting to listen to.
I've had great fun jamming to it too. As soon as I figure out WTF to play over the A7
Dsus4 E7 A7 that sounds right to me, I'll send you an ogg and/or MIDI file.
I love that Abmaj7; I tend to use that chord a lot too.
Whomever it was that played a harmonic minor or Hungarian minor scale over the D7 did the
right thing IMHO. I keep finding myself doing that too and AFAICT it seems to work really
well.
This is a great model for collaboration too. Have you heard of http://www.ccmixter.org ?
It seems to be populated with a lot of DJ/trance/hiphop/house type players/producers, but
it's a good place to put a track or loop and let others interpret/remix it.
Hmm, maybe the world needs a linuxmixter.org? I'll bet all the code for ccmixter is
GPL (or, CC "share-alike").
