I am now learning your pentatonic lessons Ivan because I want to join these collaburations so bad. I'll practise hard so I could join the next collab
Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Jun 9 2008, 11:10 AM
I think you meant Ivan.
Posted by: Lithuanian Jun 9 2008, 11:23 AM
Sorry. My bad 
Posted by: Hammerin Hank Jun 9 2008, 03:56 PM
Sounds great everyone
Nemanja
Yours was very different then I would expect........interesting take in a good way I really enjoyed it
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jun 9 2008, 04:01 PM
That's a nice thing to hear man, thanks. Regarding entering the collab, don't be modest, I think you can do it. Record something just for fun of it, it doesn't really matter if it is 4 notes, or 404 notes, blues is all about feel. Upload so I can give some suggestions and share experience with you. Cheers
Posted by: Matt23 Jun 9 2008, 04:26 PM
Here's my take, all comments welcome.
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jun 9 2008, 06:27 PM
Thanks a lot man. You'll have to wait for my comments until 25th of June, but comments from other people are welcome of course
Posted by: Hammerin Hank Jun 10 2008, 05:45 AM
Ok...hope you like it. I really love the collabs I'll almost always participate

Well, I have had a revelation from this thread. I listened to what a couple of people had done, and then I downloaded the backing, and started playing my pentatonic boxes around, like I learned in Ivan's lessons, and it actually sounds like I am playing real music. I could entertain myself for hours just playing around with this one track.
It's even easier for me to visualize the adjacent boxes when I'm actually playing around a root center, instead of just trying to memorize box patterns.
I know it must sound silly to you experienced players, but I am really excited now about what I have learned. I'm going to keep practicing and maybe I will submit an entry here.
Thank you Ivan. Kris inspired me to join here, but you are the one who is teaching me to really play.

It is a great pleasure to hear that man. Feel free to post your playing, whatever it may be. You'll see that I can give you some interesting advices

Thanks N, still soaking in yours I can't get it off the brain

After improvising a couple of time over the backing track, I've decided to give it a one shot , it sounds cool so I kept it. I've used a bottle neck (I'm not really used to play with a bottle neck (that I've putted on my pinky)), I thinks it brings a really cool groove.
When I finished it, I thought, hey let's use the microphone that I've one on the GMC competition so I also improvised some lyrics lol .... I had a lot of fun while doing this collab so here it is
Have fun

Edit : I thought that it might be cooler to boost the voice a little bit, so that's another version (it's the same, it's just that I boosted the voice volume a little bit)

Well, here it is... my public debut. I'd hoped for something a little more polished, but I wanted to participate in this, and it's just not going to get any better before the collaboration ends. For what it's worth, I had a blast doing it. I wanted to put in some bends, but I just couldn't pull it off yet. It's very laid back, like me!
I am a truck driver, so that explains my name, the name of this track, and the reason I took up the guitar!
Thanks Ivan.

Yeeeey record broken, it is my pleasure to inform you that this is our biggest monster collaboration yet:
22 participants so far and counting
A few more and we will have a mega collab!
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jun 24 2008, 11:30 AM
Unfortunately I just haven't the time I don't think. When is the collab closed? End of tomorrow?
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jun 24 2008, 12:09 PM
Tomorrow until midnight like in the movies
Posted by: Fran Jun 24 2008, 07:35 PM
Here goes my take, with the worst possible combination ever: Old Strings and Noob Fingers!
Posted by: Gus Jun 24 2008, 08:11 PM
Actually this is one of the takes I liked the most so far!
Maybe the secret is on the old strings?
Nah, it is on the fingers and the soul...
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jun 24 2008, 10:29 PM
It's the feel what counts in the blues. Glad you joined Fran
Posted by: Fran Jun 25 2008, 02:28 PM

How couldn't I! I love your blues collabs Ivan
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jun 25 2008, 03:31 PM
Hey Ivan. Just did my take. Couldn't really get the sound I was looking for though, but here goes:
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jun 25 2008, 09:23 PM
