Very much just warm up/noodling kinda jam (it was live on Facebook in an Ibanez group), so didn't focus too much on motif building, which I feel I should do more of, but I felt there was some nice lines in here and it was worth sharing.

This is just wonderful playing here. I have put it on my playlist. Your deft and subtle vibrato is paired well with your sense of harmony and melody. I could not find which backing you are using? That guy has several great tracks! I just couldn't find this one. Which one is it?

You know that your melodic sense always fit with my taste.
This sounds very cool and relaxing. Are many great lines ideas in it. As my favorites parts I will point the ones from: 2:20 - 2:34, 4:00 - 4:22, 8:45 - 9:11.

BTW from what i see when you jam, you also like to use raking very often. I thought that I'm the only one who love to use this technique in a very "abusive" way. I'm so addicted to it that I would be able to use it on each note (of course I will alternate the raking with double raking...for more variety ).

Thanks, Monica! I appreciate the compliments. I like the more slow and melodic stuff too. I want to say I actually prefer to play this way, as it's more comfortable too (no pressure physically, if that makes sense) but it's more emotional of couse.

And yes, I thought afterwards when I listened again: "Do I really use rakes that often? Maybe it's too much!". I think it depends on the track, and it can add some extra emotion. Maybe I over-used it though. It's something to think about and be aware of.



Thanks, Todd! I appreciate the awesome words. I was just kinda noodlnig about without any real purpose, but it came out nice enough.

The backing was this one:



If you check out his channel and go to Playlists you can actually see a lot of different styles if you scroll down a bit, i.e. explosive rock, seductive blues ballads, wild metal and hard rock etc:
