Hi Vonhotch!! Welcome to your Gab's Army thread!!
Could you please tell me a bit about you, your musical tastes, influences, strengths and weaknesses? I would need some videos of you playing rhythm and solo guitar, so please post your best material here. If you have some music or ideas of your own, also post them here. Also let me know how you think that I can help you and what are your expectations for our job. You can check the other Army's thread to discover the different modalities of this project. The principles of our Army are: + Improve your technique + Make music and solos + Have fun + Destroy the enemy (hahaha not realy just kidding... ) -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate, the overall idea sound good. Maybe the solos over the second riff sound too much as an exercises, instead of a solo, I would work on variations for that part. Also there are some technique issues to fix. In the first riff your timing is not tight with the backing track. In the second one, your hands aren't 100% synchronized. Finally the last part sounds better but there are some bends that don't reach the correct pitch.

Hey, what do you think about this one I changed up the middle a little bit, and I think my technique is a little better??? And I finally got the soundcloud embedding thing down so thats a win right? http://soundcloud.com/vonhotch/90-s-rocker-collabtake3/s-uXKwa -------------------- |

And I finally got the soundcloud embedding thing down so thats a win right? http://soundcloud.com/vonhotch/90-s-rocker-collabtake3/s-uXKwa Hi mate! it's true, your technique is much better in this one. There is something that it's not working, and I think that is the notes election. It seems that you are playing notes, licks and scales without thinking too much on how these ideas sound over each chord. Try to find the target notes, start and end melodies on this notes... the target or most important notes are the ones that belong to the chord that is sounding. Learning major and minor triads always help to this. It also helps using your voice to create the ideas for your solo, instead of just creating it using your guitar. Does this make sense? -------------------- My lessons

Ok, you are right I did not really have a plan, I was just running through E minor. I did choose E minor because I thought I heard a C5 in the begining part, I get what you are saying about choosing notes to highlight the chords, so I will try to figure out the progression, and have a plan instead of just running through a scale til it sounds good. And I'm assuming this was meant towards the middle section again or the whole piece? Well, there is a problem also with the scale that you used. The tunes is in F# minor until 00:30 when it modulates to B minor. These are the two scales that you should use.... -------------------- My lessons
