Cool! Yes, it's a very nice solo, with very enjoyable phrases. I like your tone, motivic development. I only feel that some parts could be played with better timing, but other than that it's a great take.
I can hear some Andy Timmons influences, are you familiar with his playing? -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Thanks for the update! Your plans and current practice sound very good!
QUOTE (tflava @ Aug 4 2021, 11:33 AM)  I was wondering if we can do a new sort of working together where i focuss more on writing some arrangement or get some target from you where to focuss on. So maybe make a funk and focus on syncopated rhythm and leadsl as an example. I really liked the creativity workout and i think that kind of workouts have a HUGE impact on my playing and thinking as a musician  I want to Explore different styles like latin, funk, fusion, rock, blues, a little country, surf etc... Im also still working on my hybrid picking, alternate picking, legato and other techniques. Let me know what you think I'm in! This is a nice idea. How would you like to start with this? Do you have any order of genres? or you prefer me to assign the style and concept to be focused? On a side note, I'll share a new picture at the Creativity Workout today. Hi mate!

Hi Tim! I love it. I can hear some Stoner and Metal vibes here. It's aggressive and dark as the picture.
For any reason, this song by legendary Argentinian guitarist Pappo came to my mind: I think that this idea could be your first assignment. Recording drums, bass, adding vocals if possible, and giving a song structure to a triplet feel stoner rock/metal tune. So it would be: FIRST ASSIGNMENT: Style: Stoner Rock Concept: Triplet/Shuffle Feel What do you think? -------------------- My lessons

That sounds great! I usually have to compose music that is out of my comfort zone and one good trick that works for me is to use Spotify playlists and listen to them while I'm doing other things.
I would search for "stoner rock" on Spotify, and listen to it while going for a walk. https://open.spotify.com/track/4yl1IpHPuXUV...540fdbb6af34018 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1...f75ac94c5f74b7e -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (tflava @ Aug 7 2021, 05:15 AM) Looked at your band the vids but what an amszing band. You played in front of thousands of People. Its my big dream Thanks mate!! Yeah, we lived lots of beautiful moments with Cirse. It surpassed all the dreams I had as a teenager so I'm extremely grateful with life. The band broke up 2 years ago, but I formed a new one called Ramen with the same musicians but a new singer. We couldn't play live yet because of the pandemic but hopefully we'll do a first show soon. QUOTE (tflava @ Aug 7 2021, 05:15 AM) I have 2 vids Here i wanted to show you with my reggae band. 1 vid of playing in my garden. We drinkend some beer before so it isnt Our best performance but it was lot of fun. And antoger vid of is practicing in the practice room. More of a carribean salsa rhythm That's great man! You band is very groovy and everything sound tight and enjoyable. You sound very interesting and fresh to my ears. I love the rhythms, the sounds, everything, you are a very promising band. Do you have music released? What are the plans? Keep going! QUOTE (tflava @ Aug 7 2021, 05:15 AM) I also recorded another jam today. I the first part till 1.16 i tried to pay full attention to follow the chords. After that i let loose and just played with my ears. In my opinion from there it sounded a bit better what do you think? The second chord is a G#diminshed chord so i tried to play the G# dim whole half scale sometimes but its quite challenging. Thanks a lot again and have a nice day mate . Greetz tim Yes! We always play better when we stop thinking and start feeling. However, both moments are important parts of a guitar session. The more you practice, the more you'll internalize the concepts and they will become a second nature. I like how you become more bluesy in the second part. The only thing that I missed there is the use of silences in between phrases, and finding more defined phrases.

Check my lesson from the new course: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Lead-B...-Improvisation/ Very nice man it must be incredibble too play like that. I think its real good that you live your derams and worked hard for it  The band RAMEN sounds also awesome man. Both with a different vibe are the songs you send me. Very nice!! With the reggae band we play mostly covers. We play also 3 songs that i have written and one the key player have written. We just want to have fun and gig a few times a year. With my other band we are more motivated to play a lot but i likeboth because i play real diiferent genres with both. About the jam, i will focus on my phrasing and silence more. next time i shoot another vid and focuss on that concept But i have to study this way i understand. To focuss and sometimes let go Today i reached the mighty 200 bpm in sixteenth notes for the first time with a speed burst practice ! What do you think greezt Tim |

Hi Tim!
Thanks for the update and your words about Ramen! QUOTE (tflava @ Aug 9 2021, 04:23 PM) With the reggae band we play mostly covers.

There are things related to music and guitar that you only learn when you play in a band. There is no book, clinic, or lesson that can replace or explain the real band situation... playing with real people.

To focuss and sometimes let go This sounds good! You can check Kris's Jam School lessons as well to get more ideas. QUOTE (tflava @ Aug 9 2021, 04:23 PM) Good job man! Your picking technique is also improving a lot. You start to lose sync between hands at 170/180. That's the tempo you need to focus. Don't practice too much at higher tempos until you can put both hand on sync. If you need more Speed exercises, check out this thread: LINK. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Tim!! How are you?
Thanks for sharing!! Cool! I notice that breathing makes a big difference. There are nice phrases in this jam, and I think that combining melodic stuff with some shreddy passages gives your playing a good balance. Regarding your sound... I think that your tone doesn't fit with the style. It's too dirty and has too much delay, don't you think so? I would prefer a cleaner tone.
