It's now time to give you my thoughts on your takes. First of all I'd like to thank all of you for your participation. Many people signed up and the results were beyond my expectations! I love the fact that you all put in your recordings your own originality.
Each ones of the following leads are different and all are interesting. I think we can all learn from each other in here, so sit back, listen to the finished version and read the following comments.
I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did! Excellent job everyone!
Andrew Cockburn
Andrew, I love how you made your lead breathe. The melodic feel to it makes the whole lead very smooth to the ear and build up very nicely, saving the mopre technical stuff to the end. You gave us a great lesson in building a lead, exposing the mood first and adding an interesting technical touch at the end.
Muris
Muris, your lead is extremely touching! Your sense of melodic ideas is superb here and is very inspiring! I love the nuances you are putting in your leads, your left hand vibrato is what makes this sound so great! All your licks are very useable in many contexts and it's wonderful to be able to use your ideas in our own improvs. Great job!
coffeeman
Coffeeman, I love the rythm aspect of your lead. It's very well played and your melodic ideas are nicely built. It has some kind of melancolic, nonchalent mood that works extremely well here! You did great!
Alex Lewis
Alex, I was surprised by the quality of your take. The choice of sound works really well here. I particularaly love the way tyou started this one. Your entry to the lead makes your take so good! I think we can all learn that from your lead, the first few notes are so important in a lead, these are usually the notes that the listener will remember once the solo is over. Very nicely done!
Jean-Mi
Very nicely done on this! I like the use of double stops you used in the first section. The second part is great, I absolutely love your first lick when you switch to distortion. It totally sets the mood for something great. You put a lot of feeling in that second part, very well done my friend. :-)
Leadbreak
Leadbreack, I really like the use of effects here. Very interesting ideas here. You are not playing a very conventional lead as it's more built on effects and rythm tricks, but it works extremely well! Your different touch is inspiring and I'm sure you will give us a lot of cool ideas to develop. Good job!
JVM
JVM, your lead breathes and that's great! Your development is great and I love your melodic ideas. They sound somewhat different thamn what the others sound like, but in a good way! It seems to me that you focused more on the melodies exposed, I like that! Very nice second part too, still melodic but the bends you use give your lead a feel that works very well. Keep it up!
Smells
Smells, your technique is getting better and better! I love the articulations of some of your licks. You have a nice rythm feel that suits your style very well. I also want to congratulate you on the precision of your bends in the second part. Your pitch is very good, excellent take!
Exorcyze
Exorcyze, your use and development on the pentatonic scales is very well thought. I like the use of sequences mixed with more melodic ideas. I really enjoy the very last part of your lead, very interesting to me. One bend is a little flat on the second part, but maybe that was something you wanted to doi on purpose? Great job though, I enjoyed your lead a lot!
Chast
Chast, you are improving so much! Your effort are really paying off. I liked your trill idea at the end of the first part. Very good! A few bends are a little out of place, but overall your lead is well constructed. You are really doing a great job and once again, I can hear that you are improving a lot! Keep it up my friend!
Slammer
Slammer, the licks you used are very bluesy and technical at the same time. You did a good job using the important notes of the pentatonic. One little thiong that I can think of would be to add more silences between your ideas, that way each time you play, your licks will sound even more powerful to the ears of the listener. Great job though! Keep up the great work!
VisiOn
VisiOn, I am highly impressed by your bends. They are very expressive and superbly in tune! Your melodic sense is evident and well exposed here. Your lead is a nice lesson for all of us, everything is there. Technique, feeling, precision, very well done!
Eddiecat
Eddiecat, some of your ideas totally stick out! Some of the lick you are playing are totally new to me and I get excited hearing them! I love the fact that you developped some of the ideas exposed. In other words, you didn't just play a lick and leave it as is, you repeated it and developped it. I'm thinking about the first lick of the second part for example. Your lead is worth studying! Great job!
Bodo
Bodo, you did a fantastic job and your lead is totally in the mood here. Your bluesy licks are inspiring to me. You are full of feeling and have a good capacity to blend melodic ideas with bluesy licks. When I listen to your lead, it seams that you have a gift of taking licks that have been heard a thousand times and making them sound new. Excellent!
Tjchep
Tjchep, I am impressed! The way you "dig" into every notes is impressive! Your left hand vibrato is remarquable and is worth studying. Your vibrato has a Malmsteen feel to it. You did an amazing job on this track!
