Me and my music teacher at school (called Mr. Jackson, owned a Jackson SL haha!) used to used a notation program and print me out stuff to learn for school.
He wanted us all to do a real version of Canon in D. A Canon is when you play a melodic passage, and then another instrument plays the exact same thing, starting a certain amount of bars later and everything is always in harmony etc. The Pachelbel one repeats like 4 times, all playing the same thing and he wrote it all out for guitar and printed it off for 4 people and I learnt it all but we never got to play it.
But then nearer Xmas, he also did the same thing for Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer and it had some basic chord progressions. I remember writing this really bad solo for it, trying to make it "shreddy" but I was shit back then, so it sounded like something simple like a Kirk Hammett solo, hehe.
I'm up for another jam. I want a decent sounding backing track, dont' care what style/genre it is. I just want people to actually fucking record something.
