    If you've ever wondered about my workflow, how I create backing tracks, what I'm soloing over...What I use for drums, what I use for bass...What DAW I use...Here's basically everything covered!
    00:00 what you see is not the same as me
    1:35 this is how it starts
    2:55 the benefit of ambiguity
    4:08 why I don't start on chord 1 that often
    5:35 the chords aren't set in stone...
    8:00 but then
    9:14 the trick revealed
    9:40 the process in the DAW
    11:29 Drums
    16:00 Bass
    21:00 lining it up in DaVinci Resolve

    Now this is something that makes total sense. It is not a "how do I create backing tracks", but rather how John makes music that is actually enjoyable to solo over. So many backing tracks on RUclips lead nowhere, thus making practice less efficient. Cheers, John

Lots of work involved in the process to get to this stage. Thanks for sharing John!

    Awesome video! Can you talk about how you record the first couple of loops? Were you recording straight the whole time and then you split it up? Or do you have some sort of floor board record trigger? Or perhaps there is a loop feature in reaper that creates a new track every time you create a new loop? Thanks in advance!

  • @bry8500
    @bry8500 24 дня назад +2

    so is reaper actually looping or are you recording and then going back to mimic it? I don’t understand how you get it to loop and be in sync with the video without stopping to edit. You could use something like super 8 to do the looping with foot switches? that would give you the sound of the guitar through the modeler in your monitors.

    @OG_Sasquatch 22 дня назад

    Quick question John, do you outline the key of each of your backing tracks? With your inversions and chordal flavours I was just wondering as it would help dial in what to play over them etc. Keen to become a member!

    @majorpentatonic2310 22 дня назад

    Hi John, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to music theory, so don't understand why leaving the 4 chord out of the first bits recorded allows room for the additional parts to florish. Could you explain, please ?

    I really love your playing. It's just so beautyful in melody and harmonics. Really great. For me you are one of the best!
    So the first part of the video was of course the most interesting for me, but I apreaciate that you are also sharing your workflow on the PC. And I like Reaper :)

    Great tutorial on how you do this stuff. Its nice that your backing tracks are available to your Patreon members, but i still say you should release an album proper of your instrumentals, I'd be the first in line to buy it.

    You're missing out on the 4 being the best note on which to resolve. Try ending a climax with a giant high four. I bet you like it.

    • @Arthur_My_Dear
      @Arthur_My_Dear 24 дня назад +1

      He’s not though. By leaving the 4 out of his repeating phrases at the beginning, he’s still free to play one over that, within a melody or even the F chord. It’s because it’s not there in the loop that he’s able to use it in a resolution

    • @CraigFlowersMusic
      @CraigFlowersMusic 24 дня назад +1

      @@Arthur_My_Dear Oh I misunderstood. I thought 4 was off limits altogether, not just in the backing loop.

  • @wurzlgaming
    @wurzlgaming 25 дней назад

    may i ask why you leave out the F note ? the 4th note. is there more theory behind ? that would be amazingly interesting to know

    • @jimmccall8030
      @jimmccall8030 25 дней назад

      The 4th being next to the 3rd can sound dissonant. Try playing a hexatonic (6 note) scale without the 4th and then include the 4th and you’ll hear the difference

  • @NedJeffery
    @NedJeffery 24 дня назад

    I still don't quite understand something. Do you just record 1 take to the click, and cut it up later to produce loops? Because the way you showed it, the backing tracks were already there.
