So, this is my 3rd recorded solo ever... I practiced and watched your video... lots of stuff I can't do yet
but I had a go on this great backing track... Been playing guitar since 19.00 so almost 12 hours straight. I felt a bit sloppy especially at the high notes, I couldn't fit my hand correct... and I have never played so high before (I only do chugga chugga haha)... I will do another take... at the end of the week when practice is done... I'll give this lesson a week, 2 hours / day. First one: [attachment=9997:antipoli...t_smells.mp3] I start moving octaves up and down, than low octave... and finally high octave. 2nd one: Tried to be more bluesy.. but I don't know, it felt better tho'. I have to work on the bends. Make'em cleaner!

QUOTE (Outlaw2112 @ Sep 15 2008, 02:48 AM) Ok here goes again... I was studying the b blues scale tonight and tried another attempt at this again... tried to add more feeling in my playing... I also learned davids zz top lesson today and think it helped me with my blues feeling.. If youre getting tired of me posting stuff let me know... but i figured this is the best way to learn, by other peoples opinions... my girlfriend just keeps telling me that i sound like a rockstar, although its nice to hear i need opinions from other musicians No not getting tired of you posting your takes, its what its all about Better attempt again improving upon all your other takes for sure still some timing issues, the runs are a little rushed, the first half is better than the second, I felt there was more ideas forming in the first half than the second, so I`d take a listen to the first half, tighten up on your timing a little and try and develop that theme you got going and bring it into the second half of the solo, some nice soaring bends with nice vibrato suit this backing, over the next couple of days I`ll try and get in doing a take on this myself to give you more idea of what I mean keep going and keep posting!

GREAT STUFF! good attempt mate, tone is a little harsh for this kind of backing but thats only a small thing and down to personal taste again same as Outlaw, I can hear some ideas developing through the solo, the second take was better than the first, I`m glad you posted both though, just like Outlaw it really shows that your digging into it deep yup, work on your bends and work on some vibrato as well to try and give your solo some feel great effort keep it up -------------------- |
