Hail Monte!
The dread exam session on the university has befallen once again on me, consuming my free time and my very sanity!... Still true believers of metal shall not yield! And so I recorded takes for both Ivan's and Joe's collabs. Joe's one Ivan's one Unfortunately my main weapon, the mighty Devil Axe is in the hands of a skillful blacksmith that shall enhance it abilities, leaving me with only one option - the old trusty Ibanez RG. First time when I become an owner of the Devil Axe I couldn't tell a difference between these two, but now I can I hope that what I have done isn't below average PS: talking like a 10 year old metalhead is so refreshing EDIT: arrrr, I improvised over the Black Stone Cherry collab a bit, here is the rushed result: bsch.mp3 ( 891.21K ) Number of downloads: 148 bsch2.mp3 ( 891.21K ) Number of downloads: 152 This post has been edited by Marek Rojewski: May 25 2009, 09:33 PM |

David started a new collab today, so instead of going to sleep, I recorded something
Here is the link, as there are 2 different takes, one where I used a phaser effect, and one without it. Don't know which one is better, maybe You can tell me I also have some little more concerns/info: 1. my practicing is going relatively well, I more less mastered the pull-off lesson, and still learning the hammer on dude one (the legato parts are learned, but there are some fast[for me] AP licks, and I want to learn them). 2. I bought a new, cool guitar belt, and that finally made me to practice more while standing I need to have the guitar quite "high", but I think it is normal for beginner standers? 3. I got my Devil from set-up, and now it is tuned half step down. I don't know what to do with my Ibanez. Should I also tune it half step down, or have one guitar in lower tuning and one in standard? The only really problem arise when there is need of playing open strings in the normal tuning, it is often difficult to play those notes at first fret. But I could use a capo on my Devil to have the first fret working instead of open string. Don't know which solution is better. On one side, playing in different tunings can teach much, but on the other side if I am going to play 90% time in tuned down one, what is the point of adjusting from time to time to normal one... |

Hi Marek.....Sounds like you have everything under control. Keep going on the pull-off and hammer on dude lessons and keep working on the AP. Technique requires constant maintenance. I've never heard of a guitar belt.....what is it. I have to have the guitar quite high as well when I play. Check out John Petrucci.....he wears his guitar high as well and he also had some big metal stands made so when he plays really technical parts he can put one foot on the stands to position the guitar in an even more comfortable position. Robert Fripp performs sitting down.....whatever works for you man. As far as the different guitars......if you use different tunings it makes more learning for you. Is one a fixed bridge? If so then retuning isn't a big deal. If they are floating bridges then it's not so easy. kind of hard to know what to do. Good job on your Dorian take.....very melodic...I liked it. Good job.....\m/\m/ I liked the take with the effects on it best. Good job.... |

Hi there Monte! I recorded two takes of hammer on dude today, I can't nail the lesson, and the more I play the more frustrated I am and more mistakes I make
One take is more even, another one shows that I can play the more difficult parts correct also, but in this take I make mistakes in the easier parts dude2.mp3 ( 889.17K ) Number of downloads: 126 dude3.mp3 ( 889.17K ) Number of downloads: 140 I wanted to take part in Minor Scale and Funky collab, but the amount of studying I am passing through still is so big, that I basically have no heart to do anything. I practice hammer on lesson, and do some other practicing, but the backing tracks just don't inspire me enough to do something:( My summer seems to be a terrible and lonely time, so most probably I will practice much and record many lessons I practiced in the past for REC... |

Maybe you should put aside the Hammer on dude lesson for awhile. Why don't you keep working on the petruccifever backing Marek......you seemed to enjoy working on it......just a thought. |

Yesterday evening I recorded a video take of the PetrucciFever contest, unfortunately the quality of the video without daylight is terrible. I hope to record a better take, but I will have time on 30 June, I don't know if I can submit for the contest 1 July also, or is it forbidden in the "deadline day".
Here is the Youtube video: Most probably playing would be also better on another video, as there are some pinch harmonics that I tried to play, but failed From time to time I am trying to learn few notes from Jose's "Songwriting Metal" lesson, here is a practice take I recorded also yesterday, I changed the pinch of the backing with a program, as it is in D tuning, and I have Eb tuning. josee2.mp3 ( 1.52MB ) Number of downloads: 134 So for the rest of this month I will most probably play the contest solo/Jose's lesson/Hammer on lesson for most of the time (which won't be very long, but more than an 1 hour I suppose, as I rarely learn late in the night). What I am happy about, but still need to work on it, is that I am able to hit pinch harmonics most of the time. It is far from good, but much nearer than not so long ago:) |

Good job.....\m/\m/ |

As always with exciting collabs, I made a take the same day it is announced.
I have much time to think of something cooler, but recording this take won't make things harder I guess ajon.mp3 ( 772.03K ) Number of downloads: 135 This is very much work in progress. I am thinking that the "legato" part at the end could be shorter, I mean there could be something between sliding part and legato part. But in the time I had for my practicing today, I couldn't think of a good way of connecting those parts with something nice. It would be great to here Your take also Sensei! ajon2.mp3 ( 772.03K ) Number of downloads: 127 This post has been edited by Marek Rojewski: Jun 27 2009, 07:46 PM |

You did a good job of making your solo fit well with the backing track. I thnk you should work on cleaning it up a little bit and then maybe try a different run at the end. Maybe a scalar thing using the diatonic scale or something. Good job Marek.....you are a very melodic player.......that's the best kind....\m/\m/ |

Hi there Monte! Very huge thanks for Your kind words:)
Actually I first uploaded only the first take, and edited the post yesterday with another take to show someone else Now I upload a third take, it isn't clean as I just record ideas, and will have enough time before the deadline to clean things up. This take is similar to the second one, but I replaced half of the "sliding climbing lick" with a similar but bit different lick. It is quite new idea for me, so it sounds unclean at first, but I think after cleaning it will be better that way, than playing the same "sliding stuff" for a longer time. ajon3.mp3 ( 772.03K ) Number of downloads: 129 Hmm another take with the new thing played faster. ajon4.mp3 ( 772.03K ) Number of downloads: 127 This post has been edited by Marek Rojewski: Jun 28 2009, 09:08 PM |
