I like what you did! Nice and very melodic playing!
I would suggest turning down the gain a little bit! You got a very nice sound but it takes away the dynamic in your playing! I will add my take today to give you ideas! smile.gif

Thanks. I appreciate advice regarding tone setting... I always try and tweak my settings.


Your take is great... i'll learn the shapes first and then once I am fimiliar with them i will try and get some licks happening.


Thanks

All good thanks. I'm just trying to put together a piece that flows on from yours, tone and feel, etc. shouldn't be too long now.

Also what is your approach to learning new licks and remembering them?

Thanks

Great I am looking forward to hear your take!
My approach is very simple! smile.gif Take a lick you want to master, learn it, and start using it when you are jamming! Use it as much as you can, change it up if you want! You can noodle through the track but make sure to concentrate and use lick you are learning!
Do it for a couple of days and this lick will become your own!

That makes more sense than the way I have been doing it. :-)
I shall start doing this right away.

Here is my take

http://soundcloud.com/j_davis/alex-jax-jam


This was fun! It was a challenge at first, as your take is smooth, tasty, and professional, I had to come up with something that would suit it.
Looking forward to your feedback...

When I heard your take I thought your vibrato sounded great! That's why I didn't post the exercise! If you still want me to just let me know!

That's great to hear. No need for specific excercise... I will work off your feedback from future recordings.

Thanks

Slowly. I have broken down the backing into 3 key changes at this stage.

But I am finding it difficult to match licks to the backing as it's a constantly changing chord progression. I'm all good with a blues or rock sort of backing, as it is usally in the same key, but this one has got me working on it alot.

Thanks

Yea Alex I do need some help with this one.

I havit it in the Key of Amin, and changes to B min when the Bmin7 chorde comes in. I know there needs to be another change when F#m7 comes in.... but not sure what key.

I am ok with blues backing as it is only a few chords, but this one has me stuck a bit :-)

Thanks
