GMC Forum _ REC _ Emirb - Europe: Superstitious Solo

Posted by: emirb Aug 14 2010, 11:51 AM

Hi! Here comes Superstitious solo lesson by Zsolt Galambos. This solo is such a classic! I believe Zsolt had his guitar tuned down to D, I transposed solo 1 whole step down and played with standard E tuning. Also, I changed the position of one note, it's the first note in the lick after the fast staccato part, I play it on the B string and Zsolt on the E string. Hope this is ok. This was harder lesson then the previous ones so bare with me! I got suggestions from some of the instructors in my previous RECs to play a bit more 'aggressively' so I tried this time, as this lesson is suitable for that also. It's a bit odd to play it more pronounced than one is used to, but thats also matter of habit I guess.
One final thing, I 'discovered' the effects in the Sony Vegas and put some on, hope you won't mind, that was fun too!

Original lesson:

My take:

Played on Ibanez RG350, Sansamp GT2 California setting Gain cranked up, some delay and reverb. Neck pickup.

Cheers!

I like the way you play it with your own personality

On the other side, the shred part sound as you are struggling and some bends are weak

Some parts could be still improved, as Dejan said but it's overall a good take!

Great take and a lovely phrasing. The only thing I've noticed is the bending at 0:45, you should bend it 2 steps higer.
