Hi Tim! How are you?
I have Covid so I'm a bit slower this week. Your last observation is very interesting and I think that you need to find more of this kind of elements that make your phrasing predictable or repetitive. Another one that I notice is the use of staccato, and similar rhythm figures in your phrases. These two takes are good practice sessions for the concepts that you are working. In the next sessions, I recommend you to try to make your phrasing more musical and more melodic. Try to think on your guitar more like a voice. I don't find the melodies that you are playing in these videos singable. Not all of them have to be. But it's cool when you can sing and memorize the melodies of a solo or improvisation, don't you think so? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Tim! This is a very interesting backing track and series of phrases. When I listen to your jam, I notice that you can play everything clean and with the right technique, but that it's lacking the feeling and groove that the style requires.
Now you need to focus on groove, articulation and dynamics. If necessary, you can simplify licks, or play less notes, so you can focus on these elements without losing precision. Groove, articulation and dynamics are worlds by their own, so I recommend you to work on 1 concept at a a time, and maybe then combine two of them. Repeat ideas, keep it simple. -------------------- My lessons

Ah ok! I misunderstood your post! So you need to work on groove, dynamics and articulation, but you don't have to simplify the licks...

QUOTE (tflava @ Feb 19 2022, 05:32 PM) Hey mate how are you I've been buissy these days because mya son is born last week So im backin in the dipers again Nice!! Congratulations!! Have you seen this video? QUOTE (tflava @ Feb 19 2022, 05:32 PM) Today i recorded an improviastion where i focussed on dynamics and try too use some motifs. What do you think of it? If you have some advice i can practice this backing track one more week and then shoot another vid  Thanks in advance . This is a cool jam! I can notice that you focused on dynamics. This improvisation has much more dynamic range compared to other jams that you shared here. I'll be simple with my comments for the next days of practice over this one: - Less notes /. more melody. - More defined phrases. - More rhythm variation. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Tim!
I enjoyed the second video because it sounds more melodic and musical. It has rhythmic variation but also has phrases that are easy to hear and remember. I think you are on the right track. I could hear some of the Guthrie vibe there. Whenever I feel stuck with my improvisation, I listen to my favorite musicians improvise over similar backing tracks. -------------------- My lessons

Yes, I think Paul Gilbert is a good example because in recent years he focused more and more on the rhythm of his guitar phrases. There is another video where he jams with a bass player on a single chord that is very interesting to analyze and incorporate ideas. But Paul is just an example, there are many great guitarists that you can listen and analyze. Within this more funk rock style, I think you can hear Mark Lettieri, Oz Noy, Guthrie Govan, Greg Howe, Ritchie Kotzen, John Scofield, and Brett Garsed, -------------------- My lessons

Hi Tim!
Nice! I love the Scofield feel of this one. I think it could be the main groove of your song and now you could look for what would be the bridge or chorus. I think it's a good week to listen to this album and incorporate ideas. -------------------- My lessons

Hello mate,
Thats a real nice album I'm halfway with it at the moment. It made me realise its also possible to write songs without too much chords but just riffs. I worked another day on the funk vamp and come up with some stuff. Dont know if i like everything but i thougt i record it and listen and can alway re-arrange. Its juts messy but are general ideas. What do you think of it? The latest part is some mellow fusion vibe where i want to put a solo on. Next time i record bass over all. Do you have advice, things you like or dislike?

Hi Tim! How are you?
I like the direction this song is taking. There is something in the riff at the beginning that doesn't quite convince me. I already analyzed it last time and came to the conclusion that theoretically it's fine, but today I listen to it again, and aurally there is something that doesn't convince me. I think it's the mayor third. Do you notice something strange there? After that I think everything becomes much more natural, and for example the final riff with the chords sounds beautiful. I think this song is going to need a very warm and organic sound and drumming. Are you thinking of using this sound or looking for something else for the final version? -------------------- My lessons
