   Hi everybody, welcome to my first GMC lesson. I hope you enjoy it!
This solo is played over a funky groove. The backing track is quite simple: there are drums, some percs samples and a bass line which play the A note.
I used the A blues scale (someone call this scale minor blues) extensively. Anyway, there are some notes outside of this scale.
Here you can find various guitar techniques: bending, slide, legato, tapping (1 note, really..).
This solo must be played with triplet feel on sixteen notes. This means that in each pair of sixteen notes, the first of the pair is slightly longer.
I recorded this solo with my Washburn N2 and Zoom G2.1u directly linked with my PC. This unit works well also as audio interface via USB.
Time signature: 4/4
Tempo: 91 bpm
Good work!

Well...
I like these feedbacks!

Eat-Sleep-andJam (very nice nickname!): If you made this, it will be a great honor for me.

Dojt: right sentence. This backing track wasn't made using Midi or VST. As soon as possible I'll try to slow down the original backing track and I hope that it will sound good!

In a lick like that in the first video can use a quick chicken pick for speed purposes on the 10th fret of the High E - String ? smile.gif

Eat-Sleep-andJam: if you want to record with a computer, you need a HD-recording software (Cubase, Logic, Nuendo, etc...) and possibly an audio interface. Otherwise you can use a "real" recording machine.
Try to give some infos on http://www.harmony-central.com/Recording/

Sure, you can use the chicken picking technique in this point.
