Well, it was a little over a year ago I got up the nerve to post a recording of my playing here. Since then I've made other recordings and played in a band for a while. My playing has certainly evolved over the past year.

There's a youtube channel called "Now You Shred" that has tons of really cool and fun backing tracks. In another guitar forum, somebody posted a link to a "stoner funk jam" and invited everybody to get out of their comfort zones.

So here's what I did:

The key here I found was to slow down! After about 2 or 3 minutes, I figured that out and it really came together.

It was fun! I put some delay, volume swells, and wah to some use.

Hope you enjoy. Check it out and post your own jam! The backing track is here:
