Thank you for your kind words Scott, to be honest I don't know what stoner is

Phil I seriously appreciate you giving it a go despite being in a time crunch. I noticed you kept the rythm bit up for a decent chunk of the tune which is certainly unexpected But a welcome change. I didn't think anyone would jump in an play the rythm part but I was just wrong You did get the accents down just right. So well done there Your solo works well in context and makes use of the proper scales and notes. However, this is the first one so far that seems like it's just a pinch below the level of play that I've seen from you guys, and you in particular. I"ve been really impressed with the solos I"ve seen so far. While I appreciate you making the effort here, I"m going to go ahead and follow your advice and not badge it, as it seems more like a solo building to it's next stage. When you have a bit more time, I'd say give it one more try and put more PHIL on it!!! Look at this as a test pass. I'll leave the door open for you so that you can turn in version 2.0 of X3 when it's workable for you to do so. I really think you have a bit more in you and I"d love to see it on the fretboard!!!!!! Go ahead and do Gabes thing and just get back to this when you can. X4 is coming this Saturday so you might do a double badge!!!
X3/X4 AWAITS!!!!! Todd Ok, I finally got something down, this was so hard to come up with something so it has to be what it is. There is a big fumble at 0:35 when I go into the lead part but I had to submit it as I ran out of time and won't get another chance before Saturday as I'm away this weekend and have to catch up on my stuff for Gab tomorrow. Unfortunately I didn't explore the fretboard much, stuck with B minor pent, it was enough to come up with something using that never mind trying to tour the fretboard I don't think I deserve a badge for this one though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKwbPDo2_Vs...eature=youtu.be X4 COMING SATURDAY MAY 28th!!!
I"ll post the new X4 on Sat, May 28th. You guys have been on a roll so I"m loooking forward to what you can come up with!!!! Todd This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: May 28 2016, 02:44 AM |

Cheers Todd,
I find the first bars difficult as the rhythm has gaps that I can't fill, that's why I went with the rhythm until there are no gaps. Did you notice the little slow down effect on each end note of my rhythm? That's one thing I liked and the other was the notes at 0:45 the rest is horrendous. I really struggled to connect with this one. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Not sure if I'm totally satisfied with it, but here you go, slight improv in harmonic minor:

!!!SAT SHRED FEST X4!!!! Direct Link Here: http://bitly.com/saturdayshredfestx4 The X3 challenge was a bit of a stretch in many ways but you guys still came to play and came up with some really cool stuff!!!!! To wit, here comes X4! Our first using a MAJOR scale I’ll be including the tablature of course for Major and for the “Blues” scale. Both of which fit well. I want you guys to dig in and see what you can do and don’t be thrown off by the big section with just Bass and drums. The bass is very busy so it will require some though on how to make your licks blend in. Try not to rush it if you are not feeling it, just come back to it. I really want to challenge you guys a bit as that is where growth happens This is NOT A COLLAB but something new. It's a "Challenge" I challenge you to play anything over this backing. It doesn't have to be good, it doesn't have to shred, it just has to have you in it playing like you really mean it!!! That's it so here is what I need. 1.)Reply to this post with a youtube video of your performance. That's it, no files, no transfers, just you playing I will give you feedback on your submission and you will get your updated SHRED FEST MISSION BADGE for having the stones to put yourself out there and for making the time to make music. DETAILS: Key: D Major (D Major and D Blues Scale will work great!) Submit: Embed (not paste the link, ask me if you need any help) your youtube vid of you playing over the solo section. Bask: in the glory of your brilliance!!! BPM: 120 BPM CHORDS USED: The rythm guitar was written by Matt Rowles of indieatl.com fame. It’s an odd open tuning with him making up chords as he goes. It’s roughly in D Major, so follow your ears! The Bass is played by the amazing ADAM NITTI. If you have not heard of him, google him and watch some of his vids. He’s just incredible. DUE DATE: Before Next Sat!!! (May 4th 2016) SCALES TO USE: ( You can use ANY SCALES OR NOTES these are just reference) D Major D Blues CHALLENGE TRACK! x4_challenge.mp3 ( 897.88K ) Number of downloads: 128 This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: May 28 2016, 08:34 PM |

Laurent In some daws like Reaper you can drag the end of the wav and it recreates it or as Todd said copy and paste it or hit the loop button for practicing. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
