I'm the slowest composer in the world....here is what I have so far. Still don't know if I'll submit it.... Any comments are welcome

This sounds very good man, I enjoyed the sound and whammy licks, really well done! I definitely feel you should submit it mate

I like it very much Monte, very balanced and attention-maintaining. So I agree with Ivan, submit it bro:)

There are some very cool licks Monte,
you did some upgrade over take that I've heard in MTP!!
Melody is cool , your technique is great,
the only thing I would somehow try to fix is rhythmic.
Try some repetitive notes, throw unexpected gap here in there
to make it sound more interesting, rest of it was very nice.

Thanks for the responses guys.....still working on it. Hopefully it turns out OK and I'll submit it.....

I'm having fun with it so that is the most important thing anyways.

I like this solo, it has flow...
I don't like faster lick at 00:25, it's like....sticks out, it is weakest part of the solo...

Still have to write the ending and do A LOT of clean up.....but here's what I got so far.

Great playing Monte , seems you can't depart from doing your cool legato/tapping skills .

Posted by: UncleSkillet Jun 14 2009, 11:32 PM

Sounds really nice Monte! I like the way it flows with the chords.

Can't wait to hear the finished product

nice monte, glad you decided to work on this... your sweeps sound smooth and your legato is flawless in my opinion

excellent job

Great piece, and lovely legato lines man! Excellent work

Posted by: lcsdds Jun 17 2009, 04:41 AM

Not gonna have much time to work on this for the rest of the month so I gave it the best I had tonight......still not as clean as I would like but after like 20 takes I got sick of it and took the best take I could find........

This is really getting good Monte. Nice work. Awesome solo. I noticed that you got some lightning AP licks in ther too. Wow!

Posted by: lcsdds Jun 17 2009, 06:42 AM

Thanks James. I'm still only comfortable with the single string AP when playing fast but I'm working on it......one day.

Pretty slick mate! I love your legato technique, very fluid and accurate, good luck with the contest!!

Posted by: Tolek Jun 17 2009, 04:21 PM

Woaaah, that´s just great, Monte! You sound like Vai and that E Lydian guy at some spots, but I recognize your style here as well. I was amazed when I saw that AP section, you learnd APing very fast! That´s great, Monte. Continue like this.

Posted by: lcsdds Jun 17 2009, 05:31 PM

Thanks Sted...I appreciate the compliment...


Thanks Tolek. I'm still only able to only get faster licks clean on one string using AP, but its getting there. At least I have SOME AP in my takes now......before I had ZERO...

Hey Monte .. nice take. Told you before that i like it. Nice idea for the last part ... i didn't heard this one before.
You posted your entry already i saw .. Good luck in the competition !!!

Posted by: lcsdds Jun 17 2009, 07:03 PM

I still might change it Andy.....but I learned recently from my boss/wife....that my free time aka guitar time will be limited in the next few weeks so I wanted to get something up just in case I don't have time.

It's funny Andy.....My 7 yr. old daughter and 4 yr. old son were in the room while I was doing my take and guess what????? They didn't applause either after I was done playing

Boss/wife

PFFT!! NOOB!!! YOU'LL SEE GEORGE.......YOU'LL SEE!!!!

Posted by: wrk Jun 17 2009, 07:23 PM

Oh man, sorry to hear, my "boss" tried a few times to install a parental time control device on my gear .... didn't worked. Now she found the ultimate solution ...


..., what's wrong with the crowd these days?
