A slightly late addition to SunShred. No video so it doesn't count for #37, but I figured I share it anyway. I found that I'm in love with the B string..........it like the sweet spot. Anyway, not sure I'll enter #38. I already posted for the collab and Im not sure I can get what I did for it out of my head.
@Grappa : Great stuff. Like your take. Must listen to the others. https://soundcloud.com/shallowlines/sunshred37 This post has been edited by GeneT95: Feb 6 2017, 12:27 AM |

VERY cool solo indeed! I liked the tone and the playing and the composition. I dig how you built up from a very emotive solo to a srheddy solo as the backing grew more intense. Being able to respond to a backing track is what separates the men from boys in soloing and I've been lucky to have great submissions so far. I also liked the use of whammy bar in addition to vibrato. Using multiple techniques like that helps create a vibe and distinguish your solo. Well done
 Welcome to SHREDFEST!! Looking forward to your #38 QUOTE (GeneT95 @ Feb 5 2017, 06:39 PM)  A slightly late addition to SunShred.

Very cool take! I like the use of harmonics in this solo particularly as it's somewhat rare to be honestly to use them in this fashion as a main melodic element. Kudos for originality there! The whole thing works quite well and I'm very impressed with the playing and the technique.
In short, you just.... LEVELED UP!!!  QUOTE (Phil66 @ Feb 7 2017, 04:33 PM) Well I'm going to bite the bullet and take a long shot or a cheat however you may want to look at it, and enter my Collab take for the Shred Challenge

Upon putting your video in the thread, you will get a critique of your playing and a badge to commemorate your effort. The more Challenges you complete, the higher the level This backing is actually in A Maj rather than E. So the most basic scales that can be used are A Maj and minor penta/blues. you could also use a mix of A Mixolydian and Dorian to solo over the whole thing. You could also play an F# Min penta/blues over the A7 chord , or the 1 chord (Relative minor), B min penta/blues over the D7 chord or the 4 chord, and C# minor penta/blues over the E7 chord or 5 chord. Experiment with using both the Maj and min 3rd alternatively over the different chords. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=50470 Funny thing is, The E min penta actually will work against this backing since it contains notes from A Mixolydian.

By all means give us a demo then
I'd love to see someone playing A Major over this. But yeah Egad. I just realized I used next weeks track. This track is in A Blues. not E Blues. That would be My Bad.
