Master the minor scale - 15 participants A little while back I had asked some of you to record their leads over a minor backing track. The results are all unique and very pleasing. Here are the video comments I made for each of you. Thanks for all the participants, great job! -------------------- www.youtube.com/Wallimann

Wow David, thanks for the kind words and the video feedback. My Vibrato is weak at times and a bit inconsistent most of the time so I think that I'm going to devote about 15 to 20 minutes or so a day into nothing but it til my ear picks up on how it should be used properly.
![]() I really enjoyed your collab and the backing was quite cool to play around with. I also enjoyed listening to what everyone had to say with there lead in this one. Look forward to future collab's of yours man! ![]() Cheers, Steve -------------------- |

Thank you David, your kind words are a big help to me and always have been, the statement that you made about being one with the instrument and playing what is inside your head is funny because those words are my mantra and my ultimate goal, I care very little for awesome technique but always try to express myself musically, the right note in the right place!
Thanks again. |

Oh wow, David, thanks so much for the feedback and encouragement. I have, since these collabs, already formed an "out of the box" habit to cover more of the fretboard but I'm so glad to hear affirmation that I needed to do so.
![]() I really enjoy your backings, which is why I kept my tone clean. I wanted something a little ghostly for this because the backing was just ... well, haunting. I believe I left the guitar a little too "thin" sounding in the mix, it could be pushed a little bit more, but that was the reason for the cleaner sound and the delay-with-mod. edit: also, I likely would have attempted at least SOME flashy technique but for the scope of the collab which said "don't worry about flashy, make something musical" or similar. Glad that worked out well. ![]() This post has been edited by jafomatic: Jul 17 2009, 02:33 PM -------------------- ::jafomatic

Well what can I say? "THANKS" is all I can think of now I guess!
![]() I really enjoyed taking part at my first collab ever and to my embarrassment I have to confess that it was the first time I REALLY learned the A Minor pentatonic scale - something that will never leave me! ![]() Your advice is great but also not so easy to be realized because I have to defocus from technique and learn to "build a solo by my mind" - WOW! I´ll work on that for sure and if I may I´d upload a second take where your feedback would be highly appreciated! Cheers muchly David!!! |

Thanks again for the comments David on this one.
You had asked about sound on this take. I think the main impact was the guitar itself. I used my custom Strat with chambered body and Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot's. For an amp, I used an X3 Live. It has a pretty good Roland Jazz Chorus model. You might be familiar, that amp is a very, very clean, solid state amp. I cranked the gain (on the model) to 10 and barely got it to overdrive. I used to play a real version of this amp that my friend owned for the clean guitar parts in my band's songs. I've got to say that the X3 does a pretty good job at modeling this amp. So overall, I think the sound of my take is "pure strat with very clean amp pushed hard". Oh, and to add, I used the neck and middle pickup combined on this. I don't know if it's wired out of phase but I did the wiring on this guitar myself and I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to wiring so it may be. ![]() This post has been edited by JamesT: Jul 18 2009, 07:30 AM -------------------- |

I did not participate in this activity, but I must say that one thing in particular that you said, David, came to me as a kind of epiphany ! I'm talking of the part where you said that when making a solo, it should come from the mind, and not the fingers... This is an extremely smart approach to composing good melodies and solos, and I will most definitely try doing this !

Wow! Thank you very much for your kinds words David
![]() It was my first collaboration, i really enjoyed this one! About my gear....i used a Pod XT (and this collaboration was my first record using the POD) and my guitar is a Fernandes Ravelle X with a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the brigde. You are right about arpeggios, i know nothing about them... i need to practice some arpeggios lessons!! ![]() I really aprecciate your comments and it was funny when you said that my guitar and i was a good match cause this guitar is the first guitar i bought trying it out some time, i had a Washburn N2 but i didnt feel comfortable with the neck, thinners necks are not made for me. So i went to the shop and tried all the guitars with necks ala Les Paul...i sat in front of the amp and the shop´s guy gave to me all the guitars with those kinds of necks... when i pluged the ravelle i didnt like the shape but was really comfortable. Thanks again for your comments and im waiting your next collab! ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

Great collab David, thanks for all your work and in-depth comments. I do the rhythm stuff on purpose. I sometimes start out by building the timing and note placement before the feel. But then I tend to go off and get into a rhythm rut if you will. Then I end up leaving to much fill out.
