Here is my improvisation - I know it doesn't really fall into the Shred category but I'm still working on that aspect of my playing, and my primary focus with these is going to be movement across the fretboard, and more interesting melodies/lines. Anyhoo: PS: Would it be possible to post the BPM of the backing track with each challenge ; and if you're feeling super generous the chords? Thanks I was going to ask exactly that Chris -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Here is my little jam. Another fun track to play to! BTW, Todd that sequence at the end of your demo reminds me of Jack E. Lee. Sounds killer.

Ok,
After a pretty crap week I've put my fingers back onto the fretboard. Maybe the note choice will show my mood, who knows? The Bb sounds wrong to me, it sound like it should be a B to my ears. I found it difficult to connect to the backing for some reason. I don't really like the tone but I didn't work on it, I just grabbed something close to what I wanted then I just added some eq afterwards using Cockos Real EQ. Critique away please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oryx5Ojno9E...eature=youtu.be This post has been edited by Phil66: May 19 2016, 09:29 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Chris, I appreciate it, yours was mighty fine as was Scott's, Laurent's and DeGroots. It's a good challenge this, no pressure, just play from the heart as best as your skills allow.

Nice!! The tone seems good to my ears The playing as well! I think you guys might be underestimating your playing a bit! So far all these have been great, even when just done off the cuff. I have not heard one yet that wasn't interesting and not one that I haven't thought was cool. This clip is no exception. It's well played. I like the melodic style you took which is the exact opposite of what I went for when I played over this. Perhaps that's what I like about is that it's original and unexpected.
On the technical side, your always in key, I don't hear any unwanted string noise, you hit the notes you were going for, and it all works as a composition. In short. Welcome to X2!!!

Critique away please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oryx5Ojno9E...eature=youtu.be That was my exact thinking when coming up with this idea I wanted something with a bit less pressure and something that would let us all focus on one interpretation/solo at a time. This was the result. I'm thrilled to see you guys jumping in and giving it a go More to come this weekend!
