Hi Rid!

I've enjoyed the feel of your instrumental song. I mostly enjoyed the last section that has two lead guitars mixed. It made me think on John Frusciante's solo albums.

I've listened with attention and with my guitar on hands each of your solos, and my comments will be mostly global because I find the same elements that I recommend focusing to polish your soloing. Some of these comments can be subjetive but I'll share everything that comes to mind in order to help you to get the most from my feedback.

- Guitar Tone: I feel that your guitar sound has too much gain. This makes your guitar sound noisy, and without dynamics. I think that you'll still maintain sustain but get a more enjoyable sound if you try lowering your gain / drive settings.

- Fast passages cleanness: I notice that you have had sync issues when playing fast alternate picking patterns. These are not easy at all, and require special practice to sound consistent. You can find some very useful AP exercises in my Intensive Technique Course. The legato licks (Satriani style), also can sound cleanner and more defined.

- Note choices: I think that you need to put some focus on "following the chords" techniques in order to avoid starting or ending your melodies in notes that doesn't sound totally suitable over the sounding chord. In many cases you stay on 4ths, while hitting a 3rd would be a goal. The solo for the collab ends on a wrong note but this happens because it's not an easy backing. It moves from D dorian to D Mixolydian. Working on this will make your playing much more melodic.

- Polish your vibrato and bending techniques. These are not bad, but some bends doesn't reach the pitch smoothly and some vibratos don't sound natural.


Let me know what you think!
