Now let me simply ask You how do You feel about Your take comparing to the very first version? Last few times You asked us about our feedback, now it's time to ask same questions to Yourself nad aprove the solo or make any absolutely tiny details. I think Your solo has got a chill out mood and it leads somewhere - to next solo fox example. If You're satisfied with it, we can leave it this way Well Darius, I'm never satisfied but at the moment my ideas outweigh my ability. I could keep on fiddling for days but I am scared of going away from the essence of what I originally felt from my heart. That may sound pretentious but it's not meant to. If I think of anything between now and the deadline I'll put it up here. No matter what is Your playing skills level - everyone here is wellcome to share his thoughts I'm glad You did it. It helps to confirm or deny some conclusions that might be subjective Thanks, I often feel intimidated as a beginner to put my thoughts forward for fear of being told "What do you know?". I know you aren't like that on here but it's part of a mind set. Hope you understand Here is my take: I was a little bit nervous about this one since I felt the need to deliver something 'perfect', having spotted mistakes in everyone else's takes Since there is no such thing as perfect, this was not a very good starting point in the creative process. So instead I went for something different and experimented more with the 'singing + guitar lead' concept. I called it "pray" since I accidentally [somewhat] sang that word towards the end. @ Darius - I did a longer take because I wanted it to provide some value to the viewers of my youtube channel as well. Let me know if you think you can fit it in, in the final mix? Different but I like it, the guitar playing is awesome. The singing is almost like the Tibetan monks and I mean that with respect. Phil Cool, the extra layer definitely gave that push in th ending we were looking for! I think we can settle for this one, very well done! Thanks Kristofer, Even though it's very simple, I am happy with it for my level of beginnerness I am even more happy at how much I enjoyed the process of creating. It's infinitely more enjoyable than lessons but i fully understand why lessons are required to get techniques into your fingers. Eeeeeek I've just thought, do I need to do a video of the take??? I may have to "mime" over the take I've got recorded Time is short and a few days away have made a little rust appear in my knuckles Cheers Phil This post has been edited by Phil66: Jan 3 2015, 01:40 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Excellent! Thanks for your kind words darius! You're welcome - Well deserved Well Darius, I'm never satisfied but at the moment my ideas outweigh my ability. I could keep on fiddling for days but I am scared of going away from the essence of what I originally felt from my heart. That may sound pretentious but it's not meant to. If I think of anything between now and the deadline I'll put it up here. Thanks, I often feel intimidated as a beginner to put my thoughts forward for fear of being told "What do you know?". I know you aren't like that on here but it's part of a mind set. Hope you understand Phil You cought us Yes it's very hard to be an instructor who's trying to help, point the issues and at the same time not being just a rude smartass I think we understand each other very well and that's what really matters when it comes to development of Your playing. I do like the way You enjoyed the game called "collaboration" I hope it was just a start and You'll improve during next collaborations! Cool, it'll be interesting to hear it in context with everybody elses takes now!! You know Neil...If I would be insane a bit....I would simply reverse Your take a make a "horror movie solo" Here are my file for the collab. From the 2nd version. Thanks! https://soundcloud.com/degroot-2/kris-mas-version-2 https://soundcloud.com/degroot-2/kris-mas-version-2-nb Got it! Excellent Here are Ye Files! I had to write an entirely new piece but kept the ideas and suggestions given here. What do you think? Ok...now You'll bite me for real Jim To be honest I liked Your previous version better...was more natural and had "that flow". Only thing that was missing was just a little more smashing final but I really loved it. This one is ok but not compareable to prvious Sorry for being honest. Let's wait for other guys to say what they think. I might be wrong Jim - Ok, have give the honour back...Was listening to Your newest take a couple more times and i8t is nicaley constructed solo Only the finish is a bit broken - You somehow break it. Does not sound like the end of conversation nor the introduction of next "speaker" If You know what I mean. It's a common problem for a lot of players - it's a thing worth working same as any other technique THE ABILITY TO LEAD THE SOLO so it has a proper tension built and clear ending (2 options to choose - end of all "sentense" with release of the tension to prepare the listener for the end...or...constant tension insceasement to preapre background for next song part like even stroneg bridge or just a chorus with vocals) |

Ok, I don't know whether you need it or not but here's my video. There are some slight out of sync parts, I was playing along with my sounds that you already have and I put the original sounds over this video. Time is very limited today so if you need another I need to know ASAP.

Hey! My take will be a couple days late since I need to polish the composition a bit. Hope this is ok with you It's fine ofr me since it always takes some time to make to final mix but You have to ask other students aince they had to made it to the deadline Ok, I don't know whether you need it or not but here's my video. There are some slight out of sync parts, I was playing along with my sounds that you already have and I put the original sounds over this video. Time is very limited today so if you need another I need to know ASAP. Cheers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8XIG723MRQ...eature=youtu.be Phil This particular collaboration is an audio collaboration but of course it is a great idea to show us how did You play Your take.

Hey! Thanks for letting me post my take even if I am late My timing is a bit off, but I felt I shouldn't take more time from you Thanks Alex - some feedback for you (no real need to re-record since this collab is closed): Well done thinking about breathing room in the beginning. My advice to you will be similar to Rhida, you have included a lot of faster passages in there - and I can hear you are struggling to perform them. So I think this is distracting you from playing on time - and this brings your take down. I would suggest practicing by just playing quarter notes (so no fast notes at all), see video part 1 & 2 here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beat-Basics/ When that feels comfortable, see if you can play some 8th notes as well (see video part 3). I would also advise to study the whole 'beat basics' lesson carefully. Finally I want to say it is really smart of you to participate in collabs like these, it will give such an advantage over people struggling at home who do not dare post anything "until they get better". By the the time they "get better" - you will be a pro |

I will trust you |
