GMC Forum _ Uploads _ My Improv Layla Solo

Posted by: Andrew Smith Oct 12 2007, 01:23 PM

This is me playing a version of Layla. It is only the solo. The main part is improvised, which was interesting because I used some tapping which I have never done before in improv's. I just started doing a little bit of it tonight. That is why the solo has some really dull and crappy sounding parts because I start thinking "Maybe I should tap again, and if I am going to where should I go....here...then would I have to do this too...or this!!!"....AAAHHH I never think during solos.... I then added some harmony parts over a few things which is why it is not in video form. They are all one takes, which is why they aren't perfect. All in all it took about 25-30 minutes. Just for fun, not trying to be serious. It is done on my homemade Frankenstrat, into a Bad Monkey overdrive, into my Vox AD30VT. It is then mic'd up with the mic about 1/2" away from the speaker.

I did this after studying the Harmony, and tapping lessons in the video section for about 1 week. This is what came out.

I think it was great, you just need to work more on bending to the right note!
