Just messing around in Mixcraft. Not the greatest mix, but it's my first time doing anything like this. I think we did a decent job, considering how we didn't know what we were doing. No disrespect meant to any real musicians, living or dead, except for Prince.

Short, sloppy, 1 minute-ish jam. Simple groove, simple chords, but I thought they worked well together. Could probably be a good 70s-early 80s pop rock thing if lengthened and de-sucked. For example, removing the parts where guitars and keyboard kind of clash would be nice.

I realized when I listened to this that when I stopped paying attention to my previous tracks & started playing an awful solo, it kind of sounds like the keyboard & guitar players from a band got drunk and started competing over who could play the loudest.

The keyboard part at the end definitely sounds familiar, so I probably subconsciously copied it from an actual song. Hopefully someone will tell me if they figure out what it is, because I can't. Regardless, I don't think anyone's gonna complain that my C Major scale has the same notes as theirs.

Funny thing: I started this on guitar and wanted to play in a key I didn't normally use, so I basically closed my eyes and picked a fret. It didn't really occur to me that I was playing in the easiest of keyboard keys until I actually started playing the keyboard.

Just fiddling around with some recording, nothing too noteworthy but I figured I'd throw it out there. Sorry the backing track is especially atrocious, I just used a drum machine and slapped a chord on each beat.

So yeah, made a really simple click track & drum loop, hit a chord on every beat, eyeballed the synching, played some basic pentatonic blues stuff on guitar and bass, instant music.

First Act PW580 Guitar into Laney L100SC Amp for rhythm with a Joyo Octave Fuzz in between for lead; Crate Electra P-Bass copy through a Zoom B1 into the same amp for bass; all recorded through a First Act USB microphone sitting on the floor in front of the amp with Audacity. Yeah, I'm pretty much a pro.
