WOW Monica! The work that you are doing together with Darius is AMAZING. I love how you balance melody with shred in this composition. The melodies are very catchy but also unpredictable, as it happens with guitarists like Nick Johnston and Marty Friedman.
Your tone is great, and your performance very precise. This is definitely VERY promising. Keep the great job my friend. Can't wait to find Monica's solo album at Spotify. I'm also a fan. -------------------- My lessons

Outstanding Monica!
I really like the way you incorporate slides and harmonics. I'm not a "pointy guitar" guy but that all black Jackson is very cool. Brava! -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jan 22 2021, 06:15 AM)  This is just AMAZING. I'm always pushing folks in bootcamp to create their own music, write their own solos. After all, that's the entire reason we are here To learn to express ourselves musically. That's what you've done and you've done it well. Super Congrats!! On top of the great music writing and playing, the video is great!! Video production is a skill all by itself. Just like guitar it takes practice. Your video looks TOP NOTCH. As good as anything I've seen anywhere. What are you using to shoot your vid? And what are you using for your audio recording?Wow...thank you so much Todd for your awesome words! You are the first person between all my friends who noticed the video. Things changed and nowadays people have much more expectations. The music is not enough anymore, some people can get bored looking at the same image several minutes. Why? Because videos have similar expression as music (I finally understood this thing). So, I tried to amplify the tension created by music with images (more movement visible - more tension in the video  ). When I edited the video, several times I looked at it with no sound. I wanted to analyze this without to be influenced by music.But...overall the video editing was a nightmare.  Three weeks I worked at this video because to be able to use multiple videos I had to move on Sony Vegas. I had to learn this program and wasn't easy at all. The first 48 hours I watched and tested bunch of tutorials and explanations from Darius. I learned even things that I not used on this video but I wanted to be prepared for any idea that I can have in future. As a funny thing I can say that when I started to edit the video somehow I touched something and I lost the preview window. Two hours it took me to find how to get this window back. No one thought to make a tutorial for such a thing because probably I'm the only person on this planet who lost this window. For audio recording I use: - Presonus Firestudio Project interface - Plexitone pedal - Taurus Zebu reverb and delay pedal - Kefir impulse loader - Impulse - Catharsis s-preshigh (depends on the track that I play, I change this with: 1on_pres5 or awesometime-fredman/1on_preshigh or I have a customized impulse made by Darius for me) - and always my Monster guitar cable. I know that people say they don't hear difference between cables but I tried many cables and I hear a difference that I don't like. For video: - I have a camera Canon EOS 1100D. It's quite old but it makes the job. - 2 softbox umbrella 110 cm ( https://www.cheetahstand.com/product-p/43umbsb.htm). Each softbox has 2 bulbs lights (2x85W, 5500K) - Black background from textile material (3x6m) which is fixed to the ceiling with a rail. But I put this upside down to cover entire wall which has 5m.
