hi, here's the sequel to my previous post, lo-fi vamp. During a jam with a friend, I unearthed the two chords vamp from my memory and we noodled a little bit around it. He recorded my rhythm guitar part and a solo, and said he could be working on it in order to add something more orchestral to these basic tracks. Well, he's got craft but my vamp now sounds like a soft porn movie soundtrack to my ears.

This sounds great. Forgive my laziness (not googling), what is a vamp? Is it like an old Moog synth or something?

Anyway, this is a very cool, smooth track. Diggin' it.

hi sns,

a vamp is a short harmonic pattern of a few chords which is just repeated on and on... it's sort of a background here : what you hear at the very beginning, played by the guitar alone..
