Very cool take. I like the clean tone on this one the bends are all in key and the notes as well. Sorry if I confused you at any point by mixing up the key, it may have been a type. In general you can always trust the scale tablature that I post in the video and just look at the notes on the fretboard. The root notes will always be in blue so you know where to resolve your licks.
 Some very good use of blues licks here and very appropriate Dave Gilmour vibe. Your vibrato is good here as well. This is one of my fave solos of yours so far, this is probably one of the best you've done to be honest, so just keep this up and you'll be in great shape! Good technique, good note choice, good execution, it's all there! In short you just.. LEVELED UP!!  QUOTE (Phil66 @ Oct 28 2016, 04:15 PM)  Hello Todd,
Here's my usual quick take after one listen to the backing. I'll try to get another one in before Sunday Midnight. I meant to put my guitar on the neck pick up but didn't for some reason  It's on the bridge/middle on single coils. I really enjoyed this one, I think I could sit and noodle over this for hours  Anyway, here it is, a single take (sort of. See below). I was a bit confused about he key because you said it is B and then you said it is E but I settled for B as that is what the diagrams show. Also, AND HERE IS A FIRST FOR ME, I started the take without looking at the fretboard and it just didn't sound right, when I looked I saw that I was playing the A minor pentatonic. Not too long ago I just would not have noticed so something is happening to my ears So effectively this is a two take  I'm quite please with some small parts of it. The first 16 seconds are my favourite and I think the most like Gilmour but obviously light years away  Got some crazy bass going on at the end though  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n34CiNs02Gc |

Thanks Todd,
I thought the bends sounded a little bit flat but I don't seem to notice as much when I'm playing. Cheers Phil QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Oct 30 2016, 07:56 PM) Very cool take.

I had so much fun with the Rammstein collab, I decided I needed to spend more time writing my own bits. So, who can resist AC/DC? Got out the SG and went to work. Lost a bit of focus at the end and got a little repetitive/noodly, but I quite like the beginning lick.

WELL DONE! The SG works perfectly here of course, as Angus himself would attest.
The Blues scale is built for this backing and you do a fine job of putting it to good use here. It's a very short chunk of the backing, and works well with nearly any pentatonic/blues lick which is why I was kinda surprised to see so little in the way of response to this particular backing. The Pink Floyd backings seem to get a lot more traction.Your solo fits right in the slot as it should and the repetitive bits near the end work as sort of "coda" so that is all as it should be Your technique and timing is spot on and your bends and multi string licks works well also. In short, you just...LEVELED UP!!!  QUOTE (yoncopin @ Nov 6 2016, 03:19 PM) I had so much fun with the Rammstein collab, I decided I needed to spend more time writing my own bits.
