Todd, I'm really really sorry but I'm going to have to sit this one out. I can't come up with anything that fits the backing, just random twiddling to the tempo but it just doesn't sound right.
YOU HAVE WON THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE, against me anyway

Another poor one but I've been like a headless chicken this week, not had much time at all. First time I've really listened to the backing.
I can't seem to get quick playing into my head and hands at the same time so always take it down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gWWyYDbT74...eature=youtu.be WOW! I've just watched this and realised my guitar is drowning out the backing. Sorry. Remixed it, it was hard because for some reason my guitar goes quiet after about 10 seconds. I know there is a way to fix this somewhere in Reaper but haven't had time tonight. I shoul dhave re-recorded but no time so here is a Souncloud of the remix. Sorry Todd. It's crap anyway  https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/give-me-time-2 This post has been edited by Phil66: Jul 16 2016, 09:44 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

!!!SAT SHRED FEST X11!!!! The X11 Challenge is here!! One more chance at F MINOR (1st and 13th Fret E string is your ROOT note). This seemed to really throw a LOT of folks off last time, so I thought I'd try once again. You guys can solo in F MINOR. I'm sure of it. Please don't be shy and think your take isn't good enough. Anyone with the gumption to submit a take will move forward here. *This solo section is from another collab with my German Singer friend ALEXA. Same key as last time so anything you worked up will work here. DETAILS: DOWNLOAD: mp3 backing

You are only one of two tolks that managed it for this challenge. I appreciate that his one threw everyone else off but you two who pushed through and did it anyway. Cheers for that On to the debrief!!First off another NICE guitar. You have a much better collection than I do for sure. It looks like you are up for investing in some truly fine instruments which always a good thing imho It certainly doesn't hurt to hvae some high quality ibby guitars to learn on! I liked your solo here quite a bit You are always in key and on time. You don't drift out of key or time for the entire solo. I notice you seemed like you were using an octave/wah or something to transpose notes? I'm all for using fx, for this type of effect though you could do it with your hands with a slide up to another octave, still it's a creative use of fx which is always worth points You have good technique and hand control here. You don't have any unwanted noise or random bits getting in the way. In short, a well constructed and well played solo I look forward to hearing your X11 Solo!In short, you just LEVELED UP!!
