D Dorian Jam
by Rhoy Pamparo on Oct.06, 2008, under Melodic Insights
Here’s another track that I recorded that you can jam along. I got the inspiration from a D Dorian lick that I was playing while watching football last Sunday. I played 3 tracks, 2 electric guitar rhythm parts and the bass line. Nothing too fancy
I have left a lot of space for another lead instrument such as a guitar or keyboards to add some melodic lines.
Let me know if you can come up with something tasty! Have fun & God bless!
E Aeolian Vamp Idea
by Rhoy Pamparo on Oct.03, 2008, under Melodic Insights
I was working on an idea for some string-skipping exercise that goes like the one below. Please pardon the “text-based” tab, I should find a better way of representing this!
Guitar Tab Idea:
———12——————————– e
—————-15sl17———–15—- B
——————————————– G
–sl14——————–17————– D
——————————————— A
——————————————— E
I wanted to practice it with a metronome so I plugged in to my Garageband software to just jam along a drum track. And just like that, I had a musical idea. It just snow-balled from there and I am liking the groove on this thing. Hopefully, I get the chance to finish this idea and make it into a full-blown 3-minute track. We shall see …
For now, enjoy this short version of it. The progression is Em-G-C-D and it just loops for about 8 bars.
Enjoy and God bless!
Christ-like Guy
by Rhoy Pamparo on Oct.01, 2008, under Personal Thoughts
I’ve been called many names. There is just no escaping it. It happens at home, at work and at church. Some of these names are: “handy man”, “funny guy”, “crazy guy”, “unix guy”, “the guru”, “the new guy”, and just tonight somebody called me “the guitar guy”. Wouldn’t it be something if someone were to call me the “Christ-like Guy”!
It is my prayer that God will let the Spirit enable me to become more like Christ.
How about you? What names have people called you?
