Fran Merante - Omar Hakim Tune

This is a fusion tune from the Omar Hakim Express Yourself book and cd. This was VERY difficult to pull off. The tune must have been recorded in a live band situation. There is no click and many sections are "pushed" due to the intensity of the players. This works when you are all together and can see each other for visual cues and vibe from each other. But when you are putting down a track after the fact, it is challenging. To be challenged though I believe is a GREAT thing. It can only make you better!! ENJOY!

Nicely done! Them Omar videos are legendary, that is a very hard job sitting in Omars seat!! I wouldn't mind having a go at those Omar play along packages, I wonder if they're still available.

Yeah man, cool. The reason the recording is so difficult to work with is because it's just lifted straight off of his DCI video of the same title. The drums are imperfectly removed from the mix. I'm not even sure that there were plans to make an instructional package with a play-along when the video was made. Anyway, it's cool that you're playing from it for us all...
