So this is my first take from it:
https://soundcloud.com/stortzmusic/gmc-feeling-collab-take-one Will definitely develop it a bit further. Any advice? What do you like and dislike about it? Thanks |

So this is my first take from it: https://soundcloud.com/stortzmusic/gmc-feeling-collab-take-one Will definitely develop it a bit further. Any advice? What do you like and dislike about it? Thanks Hey Chris, great to have your take already. First of all - what I dislike? It is no techno djent! I have listened to the take and generally you have some really nice ideas in there. I like your tone which fits the backing nicely. What I was missing in the take was a defined and catchy phrasing in terms of rhythm. You had several licks played one after the other using same note values and rhythm (just changing the notes). This even though fits the backing musically as the notes are correct, phrasing wise doesn't feel strong enough if the rhythm is not varied in terms of note values combinations. Now, my suggestion would be to take the best out of this jam and create a new super take. If I were you, I'd probably go for these phrases: 0:14-0-16 - great phrase utilizing raking technique! 0:36 -0:45 - this whole section sounds awesome. Pay attention to the bending pitch there but otherwise, tone wise and dynamics wise is very strong sounding. Maybe try to create another take using the sections and phrasing from the above? As always, my suggestion is to always go for short and strong solo and I think you are almost there. Please jam along using the ideas that you played in those sections and feel free to upload new jams/takes, I'd love to hear how you evolve your take. Hi Bogdan I don't feel able to create something at the moment but I like to listen at these collab works ! Sounds good Daeron! If you feel about a challenge, I'd suggest to just jam along the backing track using these notes: Of course, it would be just for fun - you don't need to upload anything here. Hello hello, I would like to join for this collab if there is space This is the result of my jamming with the backing track [attachment=42197:collab.mp3] It is a pleasure to have you in this one! 0:00-0:25 - I think that this part is pretty strong sounding. It would be worth polishing up. Pay attention to the timing, in the beginning you are rushing in front of the beat with the phrases. Also, double check bending parts that you are reaching the correct pitches. 0:36-0:45 - now this shredding phrasing/licks bit is pretty awesome sounding. In the take you are playing it a bit sloppy but if you could get it down technique wise, I think that it would be a blast to include it as part of the solo. 0-48-0:53 - double stops and bending double stops here sound great. The rest of the take here goes into phrasing which is technically and musically correct but features repetitive phrasing in terms of rhythm. This backing makes it easy to fall into the trap of using "long notes" and "same note values combinations and rhythms" over and over again. To counter this, try to intentionally mix in different rhythms and note values. Split a quarter note into two 8ths, add pauses, combine and experiment Overall, my suggestion with this take would be to combine the above ideas into a new, shorter and more compressed take. You could also consider utilizing more double stops and double stop bending to add even more emotion. Hi Bogdan i love to do experiments...... deal, i'am your man. i'll do this tomorow, because tomorow i do play guitar to please my wife but count on me to do the best as i can Laurent Sounds like a plan!
