Blues List II

Guitar-driven instrumentals

Jam over track by Dmitry Shustov

Igor: lead guitar
Everything else: generated by Igor from a GuitarPro bass and drums notation by Dmitry Shustov

Recently on a backup HDD found out this jamming over GuitarPro MIDI track composed by Dmitry Shustov: my former subordinate, composer and multi-instrumentalist from Saint-Petersburg. Haven't seen him for years and  hope here is his SC page https://soundcloud.com/oldblack

When I found this recording, at first time I had troubles to remember who, when and in what circumstances is playing here. Seems just tried to invent some solo.

UnforTUNEtely, latency correction was turned off during recording. For a couple of days I've been trying to find the beat and shift the solo track. Maybe not so successfully. 

Probably I will redo this thing  or add more notes on a distorted guitar.

The track title "Out Of The Sky" we took literally - a quick decision of two "young" guys who created the sound of the lead guitars on that track - more than 4'500 miles separate us, but the result is very close. Thank you so much Roger.

"Out Of The Sky"
1. Lead Guitar: Roger/B-Train, Roger Chandler, Oakville, Canada
2. Lead Guitar: BLUESWORK, Rudolf Morf, Wagenhausen, Switzerland

Squish Your Soul - Blues Is A Great Love Of Life

by Igor

Sorry for rhythm fluctuation, I hope it will not much offend your musical taste. 

I've discovered a 4 year old long forgotten recording (just before my twins were born and my musical activity was stopped ). It was a single guitar track with a good sound with chorus effect, but the problem is it's uneven tempo. 
I do not know why, probably I was recording down ideas, maybe on the fly. For the moment, it would be too hard for now to study this part from recording and record it again :-) 

For masking rhythm fluctuations I doubled it with an octave down piano part which I crafted basing on the guitar part, but do not know if it helps. 

Actually I like it as is because it's connected with personal memories of that period of calm laziness of "laying on the sofa"  before the real hardship had came.

Thanks a lot to a couple of friends who have listened to it privately and encouraged me to go ahead and make it public.

Gave a try to open collaboartion invite https://soundcloud.com/megsmusicjourney/strings-improvisation-open-collab-invite

Original track by Megan McCarthy - strings
Guitar part by Igor M. - (no edit)
A bit of mixing/mastering by Igor M.

Many thanks to Megan for this wonderful lovely music.

For some reason I thought that I had to improvise too, so after one or two runs along the original track I recorded it. 

Hope I'm not much out of original tune, but at least it has culmination  :-)

And probably I will made another, "mature" take.

Here is a playlist of all the participants in this open collaboration:

I haven't listened to them before I made my record.

Fallen tears of μετάνοια (Strings Improvisation by Megan McCarthy, guitar improvisation by Igor M.)

Online jamming
Chord progression was composed and recorded  by an LJ user based in Israel
Solo was composed and recorded by Igor


Oriental Elegia

All parts are composed and played by Igor

I created this tune playing along while my wife's niece (she was visiting us for a week) was jumping on the sofa. She grown up now, but the tune remains.

Have many versions of this theme using various scales and harmonics, two of them were recorded. 

This one is a fixation of preliminary ideas with some nods to my inspirations.
