Hey GMC! After I've shared my ballad jam video, I decided to share also my fusion jam video
 I wish you will like it as my ballad one. In this video I am using Yamaha rgx a2 guitar, very interesting one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVpK4n3BpiI |

Hi Baha, I checked your video and while I was watching it, I had some ideas and one of them is directly connected with Cosmin's post. I think that your technique and improvisation abilities are top level. The only thing that sometimes your jams lack are a "song" leit motiv that could make it more memorable.
Let me share the list of thoughts that appeared in my mind while I was listening to your jam. I'm totally honest, each of this phrases appeared in my mind, I will share them to then connect the ideas and see what my unconscious was trying to say. - Cool, let's see new Baha's jam, he is a very good player - hehe once again he is playing some amazing phrases over a fusion backing. - what a dark video, why doesn't he turn on the light there.  - that's a complex progression and everything that he plays sounds good there, he has good knowledge about scales. - It's a pity that there aren't some catchy melodies there. I would use this stuff and put it together in a song situation with a main melody that is sometimes repeated with some variations. - Awesome sweep! - Good technique! - Turn on the light!! mmm no, it's not only the light the problem, I think that the window behind him is giving a problem to the camera lens, and that's why he is so dark. - This guy should be more known. That's all!! I would like to know what you think my thought were trying to say but I think that it's clear. These are the main ideas that I get: - Start your own professional career. Write songs, start your website/facebook/bandcamp to make your name more known and to distribute your music. - Make some tutorials based on how is your improvisation approach. - Improve the quality of your videos. -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (bahadirpeker @ Jun 17 2014, 03:37 PM)  Thank you very much Gabriel for your instructive and kind words firstly! These ideas that belong to you are very important for me so I am so happy to hear these. Yes this is a dark video, I was jamming freely and suddenly I decided to record myself while I am playin then I started the camera and started to record! After I have finished the jamming I watched the video and see that there are camera and sound problems but I liked the ideas so I didn't erase it. I know I must study hard to make this music better, so I think I need some time to make it more professional but I want it. I am writing songs, recording sometimes. I know I am in progress and I must tell just now that GMC opened my mind highly.This sounds great mate! While I was reading your post I was thinking that you could take the stronger parts of your improvisations as starting points for compositions. Have you ever thought on this? -------------------- My lessons

Great to see Baha's composition evolving! That Kotzen/Howe collaboration is a great example that you could follow Baha. Analyzing a bit the structure could give you a good idea that can be applied to your ideas.
When I analyze classical music I refer to parts with letter: A, B, C. This concept can be applied to instrumental songs that don't have an identifiable "pop song" structure (intro, chorus, verse). In this case I would go for the classical option. There is a PART A (from 00:00 to 00:39) that has a leit motive which is simple and memorable. Here the concept applied is close to Cosmin's idea. A simple pattern that is moved with the progression. Then starts the PART B (00:40 to 01:11) where they keep the same progression but create a different melody over it. It's a more fusion style phase that is played twice with the personality of each player. It's really cool to see their takes interact. These two parts are repeated twice so we have this structure: A - B - A - B - A - B PART C (starting at 1:44 to 03:05): This section is a modal idea that include guitar jams by both guitarists. PART D (starting at 03:05 to 03:41): Here the solos continues but the backing has some rhythm and chord changes, that's why I consider this one as a different part. Then, the song get back to parts A and B so the final structure is: A - B - A - B - A - B - C - D - A - B - B' (outro) -------------------- My lessons
