Hi everybody
It's been a while since I've done the last collab. Here is an interesting one where you can show how creative you are when it comes to producing a nice solo using licks only. I have done a GMC lesson on this backing track and it should be published soon. I am big fan of good and tasty rock licks. Some of you might have noticed that I usually pay attention to melody in every solo. I almost always develop it with slow long notes and speed up later. We won't use this approach here. In this collaboration I want you to try to make a solo from bunch of different licks and still get the same effect without going for a specialy developed theme. You can go for each lick about every 2 bars and when your lick is connected with the previous one they should work together as a melody. Remember, we don't need a theme as a melody, only bunch of licks but wisely structured so that we can hear the whole solo as a complete strong unit. Please look at the chart below. I left you a chord progression and scale options below each chord. You can notice that you can play A minor pentatonic licks over the whole track. For those more experienced guys there are modal options so you can feel free to use them as well. You can use any technique from tapping, arpeggio, picking etc... but we want to hear that you made a solo of licks. The backing track is 110bpm and you should start your solo from the bar 3. Please follow instructions from this list:
The deadline is January 27th (3 weeks from now). All levels are welcome to participate and there is no limit of participants. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ruben_mcn 2. maharzan 3.

You're on the list Nah, You've right Emir, this seems to be a simple chord progression....., but in my day's all was improvised - eg. there was no actually lick-playing and I'm still bad at playing pre-defined licks, since I rather go for just improvising and then clean up my playing if necessary. But I also realized since I went back to the music, that nowadays this is a must if You shall be able to play those fancy, speedy faster-than-the-lightning kinda stuff... (borrowing the term from another thread...) //Staffay -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.
