Mate - I commented on the solo in the other thread where you posted it You must've missed it

Missed it entirely Sorry about that I'll go check over there The shredding thread right?

No worries mate It's cool!

Gentlemen! I have wrapped up the takes and we will be starting to sort them out Thank you once again for being a part of this collab!

Beautiful take Todd! You have given a new dimension to this bluesy backing. Great job!

Great takes! That's a pity I missed the deadline

Oh, don't worry man There's another one coming soon Stay tuned, ok?

Snoop - great solo man! Good dynamics and taste! Got to go to Your YT channel to find that Huf

Hello guys!

Without further ado, here is the grand final mix along with our comments!



Thank you for being a part of this and we are looking forward to seeing all of you in as many collabs as possible from now on!

Gabriel

Capasso: Hi mate! I like the notes that you play in your solo and how you combine long bends with faster ideas. Your solo sounds tasty and it’s a great way to open the collab.

WRK: Your solo has aggression, feeling and melody and everything combined in a ballad style blues. I like those killer bends, the way you add vibrato and your warm tone. Everything is great there. Thanks for joining!

Sensible Jones: Some more bear, more aggressive playing and you will be ready for playing with the ZZtop! Haha. Your playing is very tasty, I like the licks that you recorded and your groove goes very cool with the backing. I wish you would play the take even more relaxed and feeling what you play a bit more. You look very concentrated and everything is in place but try relaxing your body a bit more while you play. Keep on rocking.

Wavo: Hi friend! This is a very good composition, it fits perfect with the backing and style. Both your technique and sound are very good, great job!!

Beat & Bleez: Darius decided to combine yours takes and I think that it has been a clever decision. Both compositions are very similar, you combine melodic bends some triplets in the lower string and this makes that your takes are all the time doing some kind of counterpoint. It’s really cool to hear you jamming together. Keep on rocking guys!

Procyon: Those seem to be very fast and agile hands! But in this case you went for the bluesy style and decided to play long notes with vibrato and longs bends. Your solo sounds great over the slow backing, not only because of your tasty playing, also because of the nice tone that you set. Great job!

Allison: What a nice solo mate! It transmits peace and beauty. Your note choice is very tasty and your playing is very expressive. Congratulations Allison!

TonyK: The first thing that comes to mind when your take starts is: what a nice guitar! There are some good ideas in your solo but I think that it lacks a bit of direction, you should focus on this during your composition/improvisation practice. Try to make your ideas more consistent.

Ricky9 & SlowFingaX: Another great success by Darius! Your takes fits excellent toghether. You both provided very melodic and tasty phrases that sounds killer combined in this collab. This is my favorite part of the collab, congratulations!! You should start a collab song together.

Monica: Your takes shows how much you are improving as a guitarist since the first time I saw you playing. This solo is fantastic, it sounds like the professional. It’s tasty, it’s played perfectly, with enough feeling and the tone is killer. You are great Monica, keep on rocking.

Snoop: Awesome solo man! I love it. It starts dark and quiet and starts to grow when you reach the half of it. It has a perfect evolution, and you got it with the composition but also with your interpretation. It’s a very enjoyable composition and playing. Congrats Snoop!

Cael: Good playing man! I like your take, it's dark and mysterious. It starts with longer notes with very well played vibrato and then a perfectly played fast licks gives place to the harmonized section which sound more epic but keeps the dark feeling. Your tone is deep and your playing very tight. Thanks for joining!!

Jeroen: Gary is surely proud of your solo! It sounds very Moore style, long bends and very expressive playing. That guitar seems to be crying. I think that your tone fits perfect with the backing and it also reminds me to Gary's tone. Everything is great in your take, thanks for joining friend!

Gregc: I'm impressed how good your rhythm playing sounds over the backing. It makes it sound more powerful and interesting, and gives a cool extra to Darius solo. Thanks for it!

Cosmin

Capasso:Hey mate Good take here - I especially like that descending lick you used around 0:19! Keep up the good work and I hope to see you in the next collabs as well

WRK: Hey WRk! I liked the touch and phrasing in your solo a lot - it has that bluesy touch and a visceral vibrato which I very much enjoy listening to in any solo I would hear! Good work!

Sensible Jones: Hello Neal! I like the direction you had on this one and the fact that you ventured into major blues territory, which is not that popular with folks in general, due to the fact that it's not always easy to phrase over it Nice interval licks and notes ringing into each other

Wavo: Hehe! I hear that great tone there! Gibson for the win and nice major blues phrasing!

Beat & Bleez: Our first duo in the collab - you complemented each other like Yin and Yang - long notes versus shorter notes! Good match by Darius and you guys played nice together, while Beat had a very melodic lead part himself. Nice note choice and articulation control!!

Procyon: The man with the chocolate guitar strikes again! Great solo mate! I think you caught a very good atmosphere there and your touch and articulation skills are great!

Allison: As Gabi said, I too agree on the fact that your take was nice and also, you threw in a more complex lick! Good work

TonyK: Simple but not simplistic, and pretty much efficient over the major blues track! Good work mate - once you will train more on this type of progression, your flow will become better and better!

Ricky9 & SlowFingaX: Nice dialogue, you too! I think Darius had another great opportunity to create a flowing communication between the two of you!

Monica: Monica, as Gabi noticed, you always evolve as a player and musician and I know that tackling this sort of progression is new to you, so kudos for having the guts and also pulling it off in style!

Snoop: Snoop - goes well with smooth Kidding aside, great, great take buddy! I loved that fact that you have done some unpredictable things, such as the note at 04:31 Nice, nice, nice!

Jeroen: That long howled bend is the salt and pepper in this take Sorry for somehow missing to add the comment to yours, mate! It was very fitting and expressive for the context, so all in all - GOOD WORK!

Caellumamittendum: Your take was pretty darn amazing Great tone, phrasing, direction, round and expressive playing! How could you think it's not good enough for comments? Eh?

Darius

Capasso - Very nice solo man. You look like You really dig what You're playing - that's very good. Great to have You on board You have a gift for sure and You feel the music + keep Your playing very emotional.


WRK and gregc1 - You didn't play a jam in this collab but I've pointed You because of Your similar style...similar and fantastic feel. Love dynamics and articulation usage from both of You. This time greg decided to provide some riffs but in his usual solos it's Your common style is visible Excelent job on both takes!


Sensible Jones - You rock man! Nice tele Very well matched take. Something different this time - I remember to hear You playing over sad backings most of the time:D Some great, essential blues pattern included.

Wavo - Very warm tone, maybe a bit too much for my taste but it's cool anyway and fit Your playing Same as Mr. Jones - some good essential blues stuff there.


Bleez and Beat Zbinden - Couldn't resist to put You both together while listening that both solos where so well fitted rhythmically Bleez as usuall has his recognizable style and tone - well done man! Beat - very clean and selective tone. Good execution and well prepared tone. I like Your abilty to create really descent melodic basis for all Your solos. Excellent


Procyon - Your SG is just crying! Very good add - liked that sad mood and peace over Your take. Simple yet very refreshing at this point of collab. Great job! Really sounding like Gary did! Great job on this one


Allison Da Silva - You're very focused while playing. Trying to be precise and clean. That's a good atribute. You respect the listener taking care of details. Well done my friend


Tonyk - I've just reminded the main GMC quote - "From zero to hero". It sounds bad I don't mean You sounded like zero at the beginning but now it's a HUGE difference in Your playing comparing to the very first collab we did. I really enjoy Your progress and tone improvements. You can be proud of Yourself man...even if You know it's still much work to be done


SlowFingaX & Ricky9 - Somehow both of Your melodies sounded like a dialogue...I just got the together to make sure and...whoalaaaa Both of You got that good pressure to prioritize some melodic concepts. Ricky9 - Your take after dynamics and articulation upgrade is really a good one. Keep up the good work. SlowfingaX - You got some good basics and feel of melody. I think You could work some more on colors in Your playing. Good melody basis is essential but it's just a first step. Nest step would be the details....a loooot of small details that seems to be not so obvious but do a lot of good job. I hope You know what I mean smile.gif You're on the good path

Monica - well done! Good fit to the track, good tone and execution It really don't have to be anything more to please the listener. You're great musician and I think someday You'll be a monster player Won't get into details - we got them in messages


Snoop - Man that was something top notch. Love that bright tone, dynamics, low gain and some tiny details that make the difference Great one! You make that strat sing.

Cael - You're a great musician. I always enjoy Your solos. The only thing I always miss was written in the message You read before Excellent tension build with the phrase at the beginning of second part! Only 2 thoughts. 1 - Keep the rec button on for a little longer I was distracted from Your solo after You just immediately press STOP button and take away the hands from Your guitar (You were in hurry to the toilet? Leave some more time for fade out next time 2 - I know it's hard and we all do this sometimes but try to avoid abusing one lick too many times in one solo - 5:51 / 5:52 this chromatic legato lick shows in a few different places (at least 3-4 times) with the same rhythm. It's just the detail but at Your level this is something important to be aware of

Jeroen - Great to have You withing participants Looks like You always bring some extra work to Your recordings - nice sound and visuals Sorry for the technical issues. I think next will try to verify You files right after You send those and next time will be perfect. Liked Your smooth connection between all notes - praticaly no breaks, smooth lines and good match to the track.


Gregc1 - Awesome to join Your powerfull backing guitar. Truly pomped out the full mix at the end smile.gif Was a pleasure to join You at the final collab part smile.gif Descent, precise execution and great groove! You're always warm wellcome to collaborate smile.gif

It sounds the same to me? What am I missing?

There is something weird happening in the middle of your video in the big Preimiere project. It starts and ends in sync but for any reason it's moved in the middle, and I thought that it was something related to your playing on your video, it seemed that you moved a bit during the playback... Now I wonder if there was something that was moved during the audio mix...



haha yeah, the overall quality is awesome in this collab!





hehe keep rocking Monica, you are a great example of hard work and discipline.

Definitely one of the best collabs ever! Your takes are really breathtaking, mates!

Congrats to everyone for the great playing once again!
