Here it is:
My take for the Guitar Master Class Less is More. No flashy licks! Frank Sinatra visited me for a while. Any good?  This post has been edited by miguelbatalha: Dec 17 2013, 12:00 AM -------------------- Youtube - youtube.com/miguelbatalhamusic

QUOTE (Monica Gheorghevici @ Dec 17 2013, 11:33 AM)  One question: it was possible to use some licks from known songs for this competition? I mean it's not properly to use our own ideas? Because if it's ok this, all of us we can change ideas and use some "Nothing else matter" or " Since I don't have you" licks and maybe will sounds great I put this question because it's not only my question, after I talking this morning with some GMC friends. I really think that Miguel have an awesome take and a killer tone, but "Fly me to the moon" lick make a difference in his composition. I hope you don't mind guys and Miguel for my question but I'm just honest I was very angry today when one of my GMC friend told me: "why to improvise, it's much simple to borrow something from a known song like him".My take is clearly an improvisation and not a cover. I only thought of Fly me to the moon as a humorous thing. Both the backing track and my improvisation have nothing to do with "Fly me to the moon" and do not resemble it at all. Plus, "all of us we can change ideas and use some "Nothing else matter" or " Since I don't have you" licks and maybe will sounds great "I didn't use any (didn't look at TABS nor Notations) licks from anyone, actually, I don't know how to play "Fly me to the moon". I heard the voice of Frank Sinatra in my head and improvised/adjusted the little "voice-line" to the backing track I chose. Just thought it would be somewhat fun/humorous. Anyway, I had fun recording the video and this is one of the main reasons I joined GMC, the competitions and collabs are a great! I'm glad you enjoyed my improv. Thanks!  QUOTE (Darius Wave @ Dec 17 2013, 11:17 AM) A piece of great playing and very nice tone (already told You on FB  Well done!Thank you Darius, It means a lot coming from you.

QUOTE (Monica Gheorghevici @ Dec 17 2013, 01:10 PM) I will use in my next take the same humor that you used at 0:22-0:29 and if I listen your take very good I think also Gary visit you at 0:52- 0:56. It's not about this competition but with this kind of humor it's hard to explain to people why it's good they improvise for all seconds from backing. You made improv for rest of backing but what people will remember: your improv or the lick borrowed? Shame on me but I've never listened to a Gary Moore song. Monica, what's your goal? God, I don't care about winning. I made this for fun. IMO, I think you'd be better spending your time doing something else than scrutinizing my video. Take care. -------------------- Youtube - youtube.com/miguelbatalhamusic

QUOTE (bahadirpeker @ Dec 16 2013, 12:09 PM) Hey! Here is my take for this competition! I choose the backing track from "Modern Ballad Soloing lesson" by Jonathan Burgos. While I was trying to choose the backing I realize once more that there are lots of good backings and lessons in here! I really love the process which backing to choose! Thank you very much GMC! Loved the bends and vibrato from 0:40 til the end. -------------------- Youtube - youtube.com/miguelbatalhamusic

Here's a youtube take on the same ebow fusion 'simple' track.
I think I actually like my original soundcloud take better. https://soundcloud.com/klasaine2/ebow-fusion This post has been edited by klasaine: Dec 18 2013, 05:28 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Do you use guitar rig? grtzz Hey tflava, I'm using Kemper Profiler Rack and the rig I'm using is a Marshal Jmp-1 with a Mesa Stiletto (Cab). Thanks for watching.

QUOTE (miguelbatalha @ Dec 17 2013, 12:40 PM) Loved your tone, klasaine. Really warm. Thanks! It's all the e-bow. I have the tone control way back on the guitar (neck pickup). Also there's zero drive. Amp is completely clean and no OD pedal. It's just what an ebow does. *I thought the Sinatra reference was kinda cool. I started as a jazz guitar player and we quote all the time. The trick is to make it work musically and not sound contrived. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I improvised it on the spot. I'm glad you liked it.

Here's a rather longer take, length wise it's not really "less is more", but it's still work in progress:
