After a really hard week I finally found some time for this... there is nothing better you can do but grab your guitar and play to unwind from work. This backing is amazing!!

Phrases are musical with call and response vibe, and tone is awesome - it actually gives me John Scofield vibes. Improvement wise: you play intensely in the beginning without many pauses. Instead you have more breathing room/pauses towards the end. I would do it the other way around instead, in order to build climax. Be sparse in the beginning and then give your everything at the end. If you have many pauses where the listener expects a climax - there is a risk people will think you ran out of ideas! Awesome to have you in!

This backing is amazing!! I'd be surprised if there weren't some really neat ideas in this take - you have blown me away in all previous collabs. However this time around your sound eats up the backing track. I think the delay/rev/chorus (?) effects might be pretty cool - but they are mixed too loud and there might also be some low end issues going on (maybe coming from the chorus effect). See if you can put a high pass filter (EQ away the bass frequencies) on just the effects. In the last collabs you have a really cool tone so I think you'll be able to solve this. Your lines are great, there is no need to hide them in effects! Fingers crossed! |

Number of downloads: 127Cool - to me this is still quite an original take. And I like the idea behind it - it's like you are doing electronic/sequenced phrasing with call and response. However for this start appealing to people, you need to keep working on your sound (it no longer hurts ears though, so it's definitely better). The backing track , and the type of lines you play, call for some subtle but cool delay. And the clean sound would need a slight breakup / overdrive. Cheaper analog gear can't really do this well, but luckily there is free software that does it (ie Poulin plugin). Even more important is to work on your technique. With this solo structure you are teaching the listener to expect a kind of phrasing where you repeat a sequence several times before answering it. All fine up 'till this point, and like I said this concept feels fresh to my ears. However when you get problems repeating the sequence in a convincing way (starting at 00:32) it gets very obvious to the listener (because you did it well in the beginning). So to really make this take shine you would practice the scale runs some more. Also - check your tuning / intonation as some notes feel a little off to me. Keep going, it will be very interesting to see where you can take this! QUOTE (fzalfa @ Apr 2 2015, 09:18 PM) it's me again a new version, don"t worry about th esound, my loopback record vol was to high but the guitar sound records id ok really lower your volum before play, it certainly clip ! Laurent This version is also good, I liked the slightly more adventurous note choice. I terms of dynamics, I probably prefered your previous version. Also, I think a big thing would be for you to work on your vibrato. Your playing would benefit a lot from a slower and deeper vibrato, that's coming from the whole arm - not just the fingers. Keep going!

QUOTE (fzalfa @ Apr 2 2015, 09:55 PM) another take... edit: don"t know why i have pushed this one here re edit: i know, when i was payin this on, a good idea come to me laurent Nice - this is probably my favorite from you so far. In this one I think there are more well defined phrases/melodies - compared to the previous ones which felt a bit more scalar (ie playing scales up and down). I think you should just keep jamming, thinking about all the things discussed in this thread. If you feel you want to change the direction to of your jam more dramatically, try to borrow a few licks from your favorite lessons and include them in your jam.

I could listen to this all day long, lots of tasty and clever phrases in here. I think you should record over the long backing track - it would be really cool to hear you jam away and I might be able to give you more improvement suggestions. I haven't really got any improvement suggestions for this take, you can of change the direction of the solo and throw in some slightly more aggressive lines towards the end - maybe like a 'bendy' melody high up on the neck. But if it ain't broken - don't fix it!  What gear do yo use? Your tone is killer! |
