Hey Todd I only managed to use the short backing. I wanted to do more because 'Pink Floyd' but alas Im spending so much time dicking around with equipment, I didnt get to spend as much time on it as I hoped but I also didnt want to miss another Floyd track!
On the plus side this is just an improv and Im quite happy that I managed to keep to a reasonable structure for the length of the ( albeit short ) backing, I dont usually manage to do that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYB7Tf4inkk -------------------- You say 'minor pentatonic ' like it's a bad thing |

I am sorry for all the gear troubles you've had of late They really can get in the way of important bits like playing guitar! But I'm glad you took the time to make a take I always enjoy your playing. Per usual, it's spot on. The licks work great, the tone is great, sounds like Gilmour himself IMHO and it fits nice and tight with no wasted space. Short and sweet. ) In short, you just
LEVELED UP!!!! Hey Todd I only managed to use the short backing. I wanted to do more because 'Pink Floyd' but alas Im spending so much time dicking around with equipment, I didnt get to spend as much time on it as I hoped but I also didnt want to miss another Floyd track! On the plus side this is just an improv and Im quite happy that I managed to keep to a reasonable structure for the length of the ( albeit short ) backing, I dont usually manage to do that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYB7Tf4inkk I went back and listened this this again and IMHO it's got way more quality that just a "Temp" so I'm gonna give it the full beans as a full take I like everything about it. You incorporate wads of the shreddy bits we have been working on for some time now to great effect. it's a blues bit but you really manage to give it a nearly Paul Gilbert feel in spots which was unexpected and always a welcome thing Bottom line you just KRUSHED it and it's more than enough to get you. LEVELED UP!!!! Hi Todd
This is a PREVIEW TAKE i still search for riffs and scales , i'll try to take a better one.... But you can give me critics Cheers Laurent This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Nov 27 2016, 09:29 PM |

!!! SUNDAY SHRED FEST X-30!!!! Stevie Ray Vaughan Direct Link to this Challenge : http://bit.ly/sundayshredfestx30 (IMPORTANT: YOU CAN PLAY OVER ANY PART OR ALL OF THE BACKING) DETAILS: This time around a bit of STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN style. This is just a general “style” backing. So feel free to interpret your solo any way you like. The key is E so on the low E you can use open strings Or move up to the 12th fret to start your blues scale. E is my fave key to solo in. Just so many options. Blues and Minor scales in E will work well But feel free to use anything you like!

I like how you are going between slow bits with vibrato and fast shreddy bits as well. The tone is working quite well also! I'd love to see you pull back using the volume knob on the guitar to get a new tone in the middle of a solo just for kicks You are really getting a very good handle on how to put licks together in a musical way and can keep it up for days!! I'm sure your musicians friends must be impressed with how quickly you've picked up these skills!! I sure am
In short you just.. LEVELED UP!!! Hi Todd This is a quick take, too late to work more on, but i think have catch some cool licks Cheers Laurent !!! SUNDAY SHRED FEST X-30!!!!
