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 | ||
Have fun,
Flo

Nice idea! I've played a piano solo:

There's a version with only piano (mixed down with silence from the
beginning, to make it easier to import in your ardour session) here:

Ok,
some great stuff coming at me there (you guys can play). Hearing it like this,
there need to be some changes. I see there needs to be more space for the
solo (at least 2 full forms, maybe more?), the head needs to be played less
often (maybe only once at the beginning and at the end) and the noodling at
the end needs to go.. I will record another version these days (probably
tonight, i will also try to get the timing more stable - i might use a click
[ugh]). Maybe it would be nice if the solo instrument is introduced before it
plays its solo [like some soft piano chords on the head, too, or little
counter melodies]. BTW: in the end i will do some copy and paste and cram all
the solos in there that i got :)
Ah we'll see. Keep rocking..

If I get a chance, I'm going to try to jam some tenor saxophone perhaps.

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").

Thanks for the kind words
I've had great fun jamming to it too. As soon as I

Personally i tend to treat the A7 -> Dsus as V - I in D minor. So the most
obvious scale choices would be D harmonic minor -> D natural minor (but wth
emphasis on the 4th, the F). Then the E7 -> A7 i treat as V - I in A minor,
so it's A harmonic minor on the E7, but then the target chord isn't an A
natural minor sound, but rather again D harmonic minor.. Though in my little
world of sounds, a harmonic minor scale also always has the flat 3rd of the
dominant chord as option..
I.e.
A7 Dm7
So the A7 sound is a mix of D harmonic minor and D natural minor for me.. And
then there's the option of tritone subs. I.e. Eb7 Dm7 and then the most
consonant sounding scale is Eb F G A Bb C D (dunno the name for it, but it's
an Eb7#11 sound)
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.
Yes, you mean the Am7b5 D7 Gm7. Yeah, this is a classic minor turnaround and
thus the most consonant sound is:
Am7b5: G natural minor
D7: G harmonic minor
Gm7: G natural minor
I suppose advanced players might play G melodic minor on the D7 and then G
dorian on Gm7 or some other sounds, but i'm not one of them..

I'll take a look at CCmixter. Not sure about the need for a linuxmixter.
CCmixter is platform independent i guess..

It's open-source, anyway.

It is.
Sadly they don't allow share-alike as license option and there's a lot of
NC stuff. NonCommercial - people don't even know wether you're allowed to
play that stuff on the radio if there are commercial breaks.
As things are, ccmixter is mainly about halfway openly licensed music
created with propietary tools.
A oss/linuxmixter would have the advantage of added visibility, but I
doubt there would be enough users and there's definitively a lack of
enthusiasts to build and maintain such things.

I use what I call the Mark Lavine special on those chords:
Am7b5: C melodic minor
D7alt: Eb mm
Gm7: Gdorian (the mm clashes with Flo's voicings there)
