Another go. Warts and all, the slide to the 12th fret is a BIG fail but I like to show the bad bits as I hope you can advise me as to why they end up being bad
 Plus it might encourage new member to not be so shy about their abilities being on display  I started off trying for a Fruscianti feel but it fell apart after a couple of bars  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBg4vOfXTD8 Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

Another very cool take! I want to congratulate you on being willing to video yourself and having the stones to put up takes warts and all. You gotta be willing to play a few bad bits on the way. Just part of the process. I see what you mean about the slide but it was worth a shot
A few more slides and you'll have it. I liked this solo for the same reasons I liked the last one, very good sense of harmony/melody without the need to go full shred which is always a temptation, at least for me, but this backing is begging for a melody through line, not really begging for flashy licks. So good job using your ear to determine what was needed and play exactly that. I like the tone and the playing and above all I LOVE THAT SHIRT! I didn't know those were even available I'm going to have to get myself one!! Unless you had it custom made! The tele is a good choice for this track imho. Also, you play with confidence even though the shifting sands of the backing are trying to throw you off the entire time.You are the ONLY player to give this track a shot and I give you huge props on that! It's built on purpose to be hard to play over and you do it with grace. Nice! Todd QUOTE (Phil66 @ Aug 17 2017, 04:34 PM)  Another go.

Thanks Todd,
I'm really chuffed with your comments. I have to admit to using the scale picture to help me a bit when moving around but I did actually notice when I hit a "duff" note which is a good thing IMHO, it means my ears are slowly getting better What I've done in the past is keep making takes until there are no obvious (to me anyway) mistakes but I've been thinking that that could give a wrong impression of my skill level and will not merit any advice. The bad thing about doing it that way is that is that you might be watching the one take out of 20 that I fluked it so you will think I am better than I am, whereas if I leave the bad bits in, you can advise The tee shirt is a custom job, as is the Gab's Army one you've seen. Cheers buddy. Phil This post has been edited by Phil66: Aug 18 2017, 08:48 AM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I'm guessing you mean nothing that you think is cool? I know your playing pretty well at this point, I'm pretty sure you could play over nearly anything if you knew what key it was in. You don't have to play over the entire thing, it's a LOOOONNG bit. But pick just one part. Say the first 30 seconds. And just stay in key and see where it takes you. I often do that with long solos. Break them down in to small chunks. Just one chunk would do the job
I want you to push yourself a bit here if at all possible to just take a stab and play something. Even that is progress. The only time we don't get better is when we don't try. I did a solo for this myself which I'll share here. Hopefully it will give you some ideas you should recognize all the licks in it as most are from our Missions I"m using the MINOR SCALE here almost exclusively. I did do some harmonies but ignore those. Just listen for the chops and how they are put in. https://soundcloud.com/techniqueswithtodd/patrik-berg-game-of-thrones?in=techniqueswithtodd/sets/guitarmasterclass-net You've been putting in the hours, you can do this Phill! Todd CALLING OUT ALL GMCERS TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES AND MAKE A TAKE ON THIS TRACK!!!!!! Audio only takes are just fine! QUOTE (Phil66 @ Sep 2 2017, 03:56 PM) Sorry Todd, I just can't come up with anything for this. The place that you have the badges right now is the only place I know for them. Under your name? You mean over on the left below your profile icon? I don't thinks that's doable unless you just take the badge in photoshop and shrink them down and make the another layer on top your profile icon and just re upload your profile icon Hope that helps!Todd QUOTE (Phil66 @ May 8 2016, 05:48 PM) Thanks Todd, Will these badges show underneath our names? Cheers buddy Any time Soldier!!!! You have serious potential and I won't see it wasted Soldier! Not on my watch Looking forward to hearing your track. You don't have to play fast one this one, listen to my take, I played slow the entire time!! It actually works out well against this backing to play slow and melodic. I'm sure you can come up with something spiff FIGHT FOR IT SOLDIER!!!! Whenever you feel uncomfy or unsettled, that's the time to push through as that's when growth really happens!!! FIGHT ON SOLDIER!!!Sarge QUOTE (Phil66 @ Sep 3 2017, 04:03 PM) Ok Todd, Tomorrow I'll put something down. I struggle when I think the track requires a bit of speed, I can't play fast yet
 Thanks for kicking my ass Todd This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Sep 3 2017, 10:39 PM |
