I took another try at recording. This time I used the acoustic Backing track posted my PickNgrin. I am far from a shredder. Perhaps someday after many more years of practice. For now I am more on the slow and safe. See what you think and give some advice. I need lots. Thanks again for your patience and time while I learn. Scoob Hey, good job! I've been playing with that track a lot as well. Some comments: 1. Nice clean sound, and very appropriate note selection (apart from a couple which I'm sure you're aware of). You definately felt the chord structure and made a good scale choice 2. Start thinking about some more bends - you put a few in I heard, in this kind of solo, longer notes with bends up to them work really well, but you need a lot of sustain (which probably means a distorted patch, but try and keep it smooth for this particular song). Longer notes lets you mix up the pace a little. 3. Practice some alternate picking runs and try to incorporate them - 16th triplets aren't too hard at 72bpm after a little practice and they really liven the song up, even the simple exercises that Kris starts with work well in this piece. 4. Work on adding some vibrato - I thought I heard a little, but in a slow piece like this, phrasing is all important, and EVERY note has to have great phrasing behind it. That was a great tune, hope the above helps! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
