Hi Laurent, great to see you working on this one!
I feel that your solo has some cool phrases, but I notice many pitch issues, that can be related to a combination of tuning issues, with not precise bending and some wrong notes here and there. Also, some more definition regarding phrasing can make your solo more interesting to hear. I know you can do it better. Keep working!

Hi Gabriel
This my first record with my fine tuned Jackye !!! need some time to adapt myself with this very different neck (in comparison with the LP 59' and 60') So this is this 2 minutes impro, with some bad notes.... but something more than before, i feel a slight difference with my way to play. https://soundcloud.com/laurent-377054242/test-aminor-jackson edit: another take https://soundcloud.com/laurent-377054242/test-aminor-6 for the courageous or the crazyest of you, the 5 minutes full king size take https://soundcloud.com/laurent-377054242/test-aminor-6-full oopss..... still some false notes Laurent This post has been edited by fzalfa: Nov 25 2015, 09:31 PM -------------------- |

Hi Laurent, thanks for your takes! There are some cool things happening, mostly on the second solo where I've found nice phrases and melodies. However there are some old things that we've talked appearing again here:
- tone: I think that your tone is too METAL for this style and backing. I feel that is has too much distortion and high frequencies, a warmer cleaner tone would fit better. - no silences! - no too much rhythm variation What do you think? -------------------- My lessons

Here comes my take for Improvisation Course - MODULE 2 - Complementary Lessons.
These complementary assignments are always a great challenge for me. Learn a lesson in a few days and improvise is not an easy task. This time I made the mistake to waste the first evening learning an easier lesson in case I fail with the other one (Bears Pentatonic). I will not do that again. If a lesson is too difficult for me I will learn only parts of it or make it easier for me. Hope that is OK. So, six day lesson and two days for improvising this time.

Hi Gab,
I've made this secon take for assignement 1. I let you listening but I know the mistakes yet : - Boring - Not enough notes - Too much silence - Not very inspirated. I absolutly want to play over the whole BT and having something to say during more than 2 minutes is very hard for me. Maybe it's my first mistake... Should I play a shorter time ? Here's the take https://soundcloud.com/user-280506716/improgmaj2/s-g5g59 |

There are many magic moments on your solo! Great job! Here I'll comment some details that improved would make this one a top level take. - Tone and mix: I think that your guitar is a bit loud in the mix. I also think that some little reverb/delay would make it fit better with the backing track. - Bending: Sometimes your bending is not precise, other time is not natural, while other times I feel that you use it in weird places of the phrases or repeat them too much. This is not dramatic, but just dedicate some attention to it. - Adjust weak parts: There are some moments close to the end where your playing is not clear, or your phrasing not totally smooth and consistent. Identify this parts and work on them. That's all from me mate, keep on the great job! QUOTE (Alex5 @ Nov 30 2015, 06:53 AM) Hi Gab, I've made this secon take for assignement 1.

Here's the take https://soundcloud.com/user-280506716/improgmaj2/s-g5g59 Hi Alex! Great to find a new take from you! These are practice tasks and backings so it's ok to practice on long backings, record it and then analyze your playing to identify which are the best parts and what you are doing on the less interesting parts to avoid it. The more you practice, the more you'll connect your mind with your fingers. I recommend you to check for some other backings in this tonality to see if other rhythm / chord changes give you more inspiration. BTW I feel that your playing is good here, but you need to continue adding elements into your playing. Here is a list of things to incorporate: - vibrato and slides - bending - hammer on and pull of Start with 1 at each time, and then combine everything into your playing. You'll notice that your phrasing will become more expressive. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Laurent! I like the tone that you get with that guitar and your fingers here. I also think that your playing is tasty and that there are some nice phrases there.
The weak points are tuning, and many wrong notes. -------------------- My lessons

Pentatonic Minor Scale Before we more to another thread, I'd like to know how was your experience with this first step of the course. Do you think that you've incorporated the concepts? Do you need more time? Are you ready for more advanced stuff? Would you like to continue working on this concepts but with new approaches? -------------------- My lessons
