Hi all, I mentioned in Toryglen's thread about doing a group jam and wondered how many people would be interested, well quite a few of you said yep so here we are 
Also, this thread is intended primarily for guitarists, but if you play another instrument feel free to sign up (providing you have the means to record it), kazoos are also aloud.
This thread is for everyone to put their name down and say they'd like to participate, I've also uploaded a backing track we can use.
There's 2 ways this can work, one way is we get a backing track (or two) then depending on the amount of people do one or the either:
First method: Put everyone into 'groups' - I'm thinking there may only be 2 groups of 3, or 2 groups of 4 depending on how many people show interest. Once you have your groups, divide the backing track up to how many people there are in the group, and assign everyone a time i.e if you were the first person in a group you'd have 0:00 - 01:21 to jam or whatever so everyone gets an equal amount of time to Jam. This obviously also depends on how many times the progression in the song goes round, if it's a short track and only goes around twice then it may not be fair to have 3 people jamming over it. This will work (hopefully) like so: the first person downloads the backing track and jams over their alloted time, they then email the backing track with their solo mixed down onto it to the next person, the next person records theirs, and sends it on. Obviously the quality will degrade, but it should still be fine. When the last person is finished, they can upload it and post it here, then others can have a listen and comment on the jams should they wish.
Second method: Just let each person solo over the track, you can solo for the full track or just once/twice around the chord progession that's up to you.
Obviously the first method is the most fun, but also the most difficult to carry out as it relies on other people actually doing their recording, once it's complete though it's nice to listen through as it sounds like a proper group Jam
Here's the backing track I've put forward uploaded by riddlermarc: http://www.riddlermarc.co.uk/backing_tracks/07. Rock blues in B minor.mp3
Rules:
Please do not add any effects/EQ to the final mixdown of the backing track with your solo, it may make your tone fit great over the backing track, but may screw up someone's earlier solo.
Please don't go over your alloted time.
So basically, post in this thread with 2 things: if you'd like to participate, and if you want to do a GROUP or SOLO jam.
