well guys, my congrats to everyone who has played in this collab! all takes are awesome, and all of you have done a great job here. I was asked a while ago to comment about the takes so I want to say thanks to john for let me participate in this collab as a reviewer. I never did something similar so I hope to do a good job.
1) enforcer
well, you was very creative on this take. You mix a little bit of everything. Good notes election, nice sounding, sweet licks, speed and nice atmospheres.
It´s well done, well performanced, and balanced. One of the best in this collab from my point of view.
Your take shows confidence and passion.
I´ll put extra attention in some parts of your take. bads and goods things.
So, here I go
00.26: this lick works perfectly here! You play it correctly, and you find a way to capture my attention.
00.32: be careful with bends.
00.38: exellent note. Great vibrato.
00.45: I think this lick´s a little bit out of time.
01.06: once again you have some problem with bendings here.
01.08: lovely ending
The ideas you put in there are awesome! So I have to tell you, your take show me you are working really really good! You find the way to do a solo with personality and that´s so important for me. Mistakes... all we have them, to get cool ideas it´s a little bit more difficult! And you did it!
So thanks a lot for give us this awesome take enforcer!!!
2)Torso
ok, torso´s time
after hear your take for many times, I found it very attractive.
I learned myself your take by ear, to see what you did exactly. And I saw that you put exellent ideas in there. So, I´ll tell you...
01.18: the note you use to start is a little bit out of tune. May be, was the vibrato you used there or the whole tune of your guitar. I don´t know.
01.23: nice lick! Great use of silences in there.
01.32: from here on, thing are much better, you must be careful with bends, sometimes,they don´t reach the note.
01.49: the lick is nice, but it´s a little bit out of time.
02.03: this would be another great moment of the solo. Once again take care of your bends.
Well, I think your head is a little more advanced than your current skills. Your ideas are great man, but your hands can´t do it yet. so, pay more attention on your weakness of your own solo, and you´ll improv a lot with them. For example, if you improve your bends and your tuning, you´ll improve your take %70! That´s an important improv, just for only paying attention on bends and tunings.
Thanks a lot Torso!
3)Tjchep
Hi Tjchep! Man, congrats for this solo! Really like it.
You have confidence and that´s a really good thing! I mean, your extreme bends show me that you have power to play guitar. Nice sounding, it´s not perfectly recorded but this isn´t important here
Your take is interesting, passionate and creative. Full of bends and vibratos taken from hell!
So, here I go...
02.30: you started a little shy, that was great because noone would expect that. So, from my point of view, you was smart in this case
02.42: exellent lick!
02.50: the first time I heard this bend I said: Yeah!!! Great!
02.54: here something weird is happenning, the notes you played are a little bit out of time.
03.00: from here on, things are awesome, this combination of bends are really great man!
03.26: this fast lick is a little bit out of time.
03.32: here you played a 6th, it sounds good for me, but I dont know if you did it consciously or not.
Well, this take is great, another one at the top of this collab! Just an advise, it doesn´t mean that there´s something wrong with your take ok.
For the next time, you could add more advanced licks combinated with those awesome bends, I think results could be even better.
Thanks a lot and congrats once again Tjchep!!!
4)Nermin
well Nermin, this was a nice take. I like the ideas you put in there, the notes, some bends and vibratos are well done too. This solo is well balanced too. You was a little shy along the whole Bt, so because of that, in some parts your take sounds a little bit weak. I like your composition, it has interesting ideas, and it´s not boring at all, and that´s a good thing.
So...
03.38: well, I can hear a weird sound before you start to play. If you always have this problem, ask in the forum some tips to fix it up.
03.45: this lick is sweet, well done!
04:07: nice vibrato. This kind of things, show me that you are very creative.
04.16: nice bend, be careful with tuning.
04.23: lick out of time. Pay attention on that.
04.32: from here on, you miss the time. The legato idea is really nice, but it´s a little bit messed up.
Well, I think you are working correctly, and this take show me that you have great ideas in your mind. So, keep on practicing to improv your skills.
Well done! And thanks Nermin!
5)Ivan
well Ivan, your take is awesome man! It looks like you love this kind of music. Every lick is played with passion and with a great technique. The mixture between fast parts and passionate bends and vibratos is well balanced.
You show us so clearly your musical knowlegde through your take. So, I think many members of this collab could learn a lot from this!
Congrats and thanks for share your talents here Ivan!
6)Paiva
hi Paiva! This was an exellent take. It´s well done, with good taste on notes, without great mistakes in there and correctly played.
It´s a little bit low, I don´t know why. But it´s not too important in this case. You show me that you are a great composer. So, in details...
06.05: nice lick to start!
06.25: I think this lick is out of scale.
06.36: this minor 3rd works perfectly. Well done.
06.46: bend out of tune.
06.56: this legato lick is out of time. Pay attention on that.
So, overall I like it. I think you will improv this weak points so easily, because you show confidence in every note, and that´s too important to learn something new every day.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot Paiva!
7)Chris Hurn
well man!!! First to all, awesome sound you get here! This vibrato sounding caught me from the beginning
A wise take you gave me to hear. Patient and quiet, like a man telling us a sad love story. So...
07.17: anybody said western movies...?
07.31: nice melody.
07.37: exellent lick man. I like it so much.
07.44: this lick is a little bit out of time.
07.50: another great lick!
08.14: from here on, you reached the climax of your take. It´s an exellent lick. Congrats.
You did a great work here man. I think this is another one of the best takes in this collab from my point of view. You don´t show any advanced things but it´s replaced for your good taste and creative way to compose this solo.
Congrats Chris and thanks for this take!
8)crazyfret
Hi crazyfret and thanks for your take.
First impression: I liked it.
Nice sounding, some exellent licks, confidence and good ideas here and there.
I heard some mistakes in timing, bends out of tune but nothing really bad, so let me tell you...
08.28: I really like the way you start your take! Well done!
08.35: nice lick and well played!
08.40: lick out of time.
08.49: this bluesy lick works perfectly here!
08.53: notes out of tune.
09.01: this is a difficult note to play. You can add more vibrato to put the note in tune. I think this note election was great. Just you have to play it better.
09.30: lovely ending.
Well, as I said, I liked your take. Mainly, you have personality and that´s what I look for when I hear a guitarrist. Your taste is good, you feel music, so that´s all you need to growing up as a musician. Weak points must be improved by practice easily.
Congrats for this take!
Thanks crazyfret
9)Gibsonmatte
finally, Gibsonmatte.
Great and powerful take. You get a rocking sounding and you was the only one who add some wah wah in his take! Extra points for that
Well, to be honest, I was thinking: after 8 takes I will hear something similar to the others participants, but you show me that I was wrong
You showed great licks, some advanced things that, personally, I liked them so much, confidence and good taste. Well...
09.45: exellent lick man!
09.53: personally, I think this was one of the most interesting licks in the whole collab. Well done!
10.01: this part is a little bit out of time.
10.05: here you stop in the same note for 8 times, I think it´s not bad, but you can do it better.
10.17: fast parts are a little bit messed up.
10.32: exellent wah wah part. It´s works perfectly in there!
Well, I think the only ones things you have to improv here are those advanced fast parts you´ve played at 10:17. I mean, you can play them, only have to clean some of them to get more clarity.
Overall, this take is well done! Also this was one of my favs takes of this collab, so I hope hear more from you soon!
Thanks a lot Gibsonmatte!
