Hello Todd,
I have failed the challenge. I can't come up with anything at all for X3, well I can come up with plenty of wiggling but nothing that fits the track. Everything I come up is just too generic for that specific backing and I like my stuff to fit the feeling as best as possible and that track is pretty specific on the feeling front. I even tried mimicking the strings/synth to no avail so, I am not only the first entrant into the first ever Saturday Shred Fest Challenge (X1) I am also the first flop  I've had much hassle this week doing lengthy emails to PRS as you know so I've had hardly any time anyway, also I think it has affected my drive to come up with stuff, I'm feeling a little uninspired about guitar at the moment and my mom has to go into hospital on Friday for a fairly big operation (hip replacement and she's 78) so I will be visiting her when i would normally be practising so this weekend and into next week will be even more of an issue for practising. I'll try something for X4 tomorrow, it sounds a bit more like I can do something with that. Cheers buddy. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

awesome playing!
Very solid playing on your take man! I get a strong 70's vibe off it.

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jun 2 2016, 01:07 AM)  Chris, No worries. X3 was simply hard to solo over. I wanted to throw out a curve ball but I didn't realize it was a crazy curve ball from Mars. You are not the only one who had issues working with this track. It was pretty much most of the folks that tried it. I'll be a little less cruel in future tracks if I can at all help it!! Best of luck to your Mom during her operation. I"ll be sending positive vibes/thoughts/prayers your way as I'm sure everyone at GMC will be  I hope you get a chance to give x4 a shot. I"m sure it will RAWK!! Todd Thanks Pete

Sorry Todd,
I had some ideas for the last one but as you know I've had a lot of personal stuff to deal with. I'll see what I can do with this one. Thanks for everything buddy. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
