GMC Forum _ REC _ Rhoads - 12-bar Blues Shuffle

Posted by: rhoads Jul 18 2011, 08:35 AM

Hi GMC,

This is my first shuffle attempt

Original: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-guitar/12-bar-shuffle/

My take:

You need to turn the volume a little louder because only now I see that it was recorder at a lower volume than usual.

Gear:

Ibanez S 470 DXQM
Amplitube
EMU 0404 USB
Logitech quickcam C200 with another sound card for audio input.
I connected the headphones output of the EMU to the line in of the other sound card.

Cheers,

Good take Rhoads.. the timing was good and the articulation on the descending chords at the end was very clear.

A point to watch out for: When you play the main riff, be careful of overbending the notes that you hammer on because some of them seem a bit wavery.. because you've got a Floyd Rose you have to be extra careful of bending a note whilst playing other strings.. because the tremolo will move when you apply bends or vibrato and it will be noticeable on the other strings too. It's nothing major, just a small issue that you'll be able to watch out for

Hey man! Nice take! I see you got the groove but, as Ben said, pay attention to the trouble that the floyd rose is causing when exagerating with the bends

Keep up the good work! By the way, how was your 'Rock the City' experience?

Hey man! Nice take! I like your feeling and attitude in this video! You rocked the lesson. I can also note that pitch problems generated by your vibrato as the other instructors said. It's very important to fix this problem!
