AJohn: Despair - 8 tracks one guitar player

This video will sound best played loud. Anyway, I played against a backing track "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJPUu1wev3o" - Downloaded from youtube, user id - guitarbackingtracks4 that I like. I named my jam Despair, that is the feel I had from the song as I listened back. Might have something to do with the news, the natural disasters that seem to have alarmingly increased or all the wars and killing going on. Its never ending and it does seem that we are in a despair situation at times. Kind of a sad sound to me. I tripled the 2 guitar tracks. Not sure how I came up with the melody, ha, I just play and it comes out. I tracked in an additional guitar at around the 1:40 mark. Can't show it because I don't have good video editing software. Once I do, I will most likely stop using backing tracks (except during times of laziness!) and start doing originals where I can include views of bass, guitar and keyboard parts. Can't play drums so I will continue getting drums where I can .


I used a Digitech RP355 for the guitar tone. I used 2 different tones one for each guitar part. I record directly with USB connection.

I used 3 tracks for each guitar part so there is a total of 6 tracks for guitar and I also doubled the backing track. I use Cuebase LE 4 to record.

I used Moviemaker for the video. Very limited in that I can not create multiple panels. I hope to upgrade to Sony Vegas eventually.
