Neck pickup.

Extracted from mal-2.bandcamp.com/track/cloverleaf -- the master track remains in BJAM 1.2 as it has been shipped, but the demo here uses BJAM 4. With the features implemented in BJAM 3, it is no longer necessary to run two instances to play one perceived instrument.

• 0:00 - 0:42 "Head". Solo Mode. Uses hammer-ons and palm muting extensively, which remains true throughout the track.
• 0:42 - 1:03 recording the rhythm loop to be used for the remainder of the track. The "cleanup" of the sound was accomplished merely by turning down the Volume setting of the VST, just like turning down a real guitar cleans up an amp on the edge of breakup. In the full mix, the bass takes the lead to help hide that this is a loop input chorus.
• 1:03 Loop moved to the right channel (and it is an actual loop, not just the same MIDI being played over and over), solo begins. All four types of harmonics used (all natural harmonics of open strings, bends by whammy bar only). Muting used to emulate sweep picking.
• 1:17 An example of holding a note steady while using a per-pitch-class bend to move another one around.
• 1:25 Harmonics. They are ripe for bending even though they are natural harmonics of open strings because tremolo bridge, not hardtail.
• 1:38 Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol. (Wait, that's a different song.) C-c-c-c-c-cocaine! (There we go.)
• 1:56, 1:59 There's that sweep picking I mentioned.
• 2:22 Asymmetric double bend, executed by bending both notes +2 with the Pitch Bend, and the lower note an additional +1 via per-pitch-class bending.

Did I throw everything in to show the technical capabilities of the instrument? NO, exactly the opposite. I included the features in the instrument so that I could use them in a track like this. BJAM's features are very much project-driven.

I imagine you'll enjoy the full track more as a listening experience. This is a tech demo.
