QUOTE (huargo @ Jan 17 2015, 12:01 PM)  Thanks for your comments Gabriel, i'm totally agree. The only thing it's the weird notes in 00:20 to 00:25... i really like the rhythm pattenr in that moment, i don't wanna lose that thing... Are they so bad ? I'll try to find another with the same pattern.  Yeah, I also like the rhythmic pattern. The notes choices in this case is a matter of taste, so if you like them, keep them, but I'd suggest to make the bends more consistent. -------------------- My lessons

So whatever you did, it worked! Could you please do more of this and try to get completely rid of the timing issues? Let me know your thoughts! Soundwise - although your current tone is cool - but it does not work very well with the mix. I suggest reverting to you previous sound which was bright without lots of low frequencies - and therefor made you tone stand out without masking Gab's rhythm guitar.

This is much better - up until the chorus (00:20) it is much smoother and musical - and your choice of tone and licks again is very tasty. The whole take now is at a much better level - but if you still want to tweak, I would suggest addressing the chorus (starting at 00:20). Here I still get the impression you have stacked a bunch of licks. It would be really cool if you could play a melody an octave higher up, without lots of licks. Try to emulate some vocal lines by using bends and vibrato. |

The main problem on this one is timing. The second half of this solo needs to be adjustment so the best would be to work on blocks, and try to play the licks tight with the backing. Another suggestion would be to simplify the trickier parts. There are some licks that have more notes (and faster) that are the ones that have more important timing issues. I also think that the previous tone had a warmer EQ that fits better with the backing so I would get back to it. The only thing that it was lacking was some sustain, so maybe the same tone with a bit more drive.

This is a very cool take man! You could really improve your previous work. I think that all the licks are played very well, you tone is warm and enjoyable, with the right amount of sustain for those licks. If you would keep it like this it would be great. Just to add some extra feedback that comes to mind: - The first half is mind blowing. Every new lick makes the solo grow and makes the solo evolve naturally and keeps my attention and enjoyment. - The second half of the solo is ok, but as you repeat some ideas, and rhythms, the overal excitement decreases a bit. Maybe some more agressive bends, double stop licks, a new epic melody, or something like that could make the job here. - This can be just a matter of taste, but I'm not totally happy with the note repeated at 00:18. It doesn't sound bad, but I would make some kind of change to avoid the repetition. Maybe a chromatic movement that releases to A)¡? Ok, once again, your solo is killer! Congratulations.

Thanks for your take for this one! I think that it's a good first step and that with some work it can be converted into a nice solo. I like the composition until 00:14, it rocker, groovy and has a good sense of melody and phrasing. I also like what happens when the chorus starts until 00:25. The other sections need some more creative ideas and variations, some longer notes, double string bends, faster phrases, or other ideas that can add something different here. Besides the composing dimension which is not bad, I would make some emphasis on improving your tone, feeling and technique. (Also, take care of your guitar tuning). I feel that you need a warmer tone for this one, work on EQ, try to add bass and mids, or see what happens if you lower treble. Once you are more convinced with what you are playing, take care of how you play it. Be careful with your bending pitches, and try to give your phrasing more vibrato, and dynamics. Please keep on work these tips and suggestions and share your progress here, it will be a very good training and we will monitor and help all we can.

Hello everyday one record - here it is !
 TIMING is real hard but i hope my ears getting better by time . Gabriel i think i should concentrate - beside this collab - much more on only timing exercises . I do recognize the rhythm timing but just do not get it into my movements - feeling its kind of strange, like starting to walk .

Hey guys, so I have an idea for a double stop lick to throw in right after the 20 second mark, but I was wondering if I could get some advice...
DoubleStopLick.mp3 ( 100K )
Number of downloads: 160It fits in really nice after 0:21 but I have one problem: I wanna be able to fit in my tapping lick right after the double stops and not have it sound like I just tossed it in there randomly, you know what I mean? I need to connect the two somehow without making it too long... Any ideas? Thanks! |

I think your take is much better than it sounds. What I mean by this is that your licks and solo construction is tasty. And I think your vibrato is a bit unique with Hendrixy vibes. I don't really hear any super serious problems with your playing. However as Gab said, your sound is working against you! How did you record? I hear some very harsh treble frequencies and possibly some kind of small room reverb that makes your guitar clash with the rest of the mix. I don't think you have got a lot of work ahead of you to turn this into a decent take, and from there we can work together to make it a killer take!

I do recognize the rhythm timing but just do not get it into my movements - feeling its kind of strange, like starting to walk . Agreed, you should definitely work on this. Once fixed it will take your playing up to a new level. I think at this point - it is more fruitful for you to focus on just timing a couple of weeks. Perhaps using this backing track. I will discuss this with Gab right away and he'll get back to you. Watch this space!

To make it sound like you didn't throw it in randomly, you probably want the tapping lick to begin where you ended the previous lick. So best is if you can begin the tapping lick without changing position or even lifting your fingers. I think these kinds of tapping licks are very flexible and you can play them in ascending or descending, and in any scale or arpeggio. This is probably also why Greg uses them so frequently: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Greg-Howe-Tapping/ |

QUOTE (Bogdan Radovic @ Jan 17 2015, 09:30 AM) iPhone has a very good potential to be a quality guitar and music recording device. Please check out these two interesting posts in the other thread where we discuss different options for recording on iOS platform (iPhone, iPad) : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=704068 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=704069 Please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in setting up, if so I think instructor Todd Simpson will be able to provide you with details how to go about it as he has first hand experience. From my research, one needs to get an audio interface which plugs into the iPhone to enable high quality recording on this device. You basically get to plug in your guitar into this device and capture it on the phone which is awesome and practical Now, I'm not sure this can be done for free but I've seen those devices (mostly referring to device/product called iRig) for pretty affordable prices being available. Do you have possibilities to record on your PC? This collaboration doesn't require video recording, just audio tracks. Probably the easiest solution and workaround to go about this would be to record your takes like this using your iPhone : 1. Open the voice memo app in the iphone 2. Put your iphone close to the speakers/guitar amp and try to adjust the volume of the speakers/amp not to be too loud 3. Record your playing over the backing track 4. Post your take here for feedback Collabs do require also a "guitar only take", for inclusion in the final mix. To do this, you could have your iphone close to your guitar amp or computer speakers but in case of computer speakers you'd need to make sure only guitar is heard there and somehow have the backing track routed, playing on your headphones (you could play the backing track using ipod or similar device in your headphones) ....all this in order to record "GUITAR ONLY" take where there is no backing track heard only guitar. I'd suggest recording and posting your guitar + backing mix audio first in this thread following steps above to get feedback on your performance and possible improvement suggestions. Once you have your take set in stone, you could try to record the "guitar only" version of it where there is no backing track heard. In any case, I think you should participate if only by shooting video just like you are used to (in case audio recording is too complicated or doesn't work) - all in order to get feedback here in the thread. Please let me know if you have any follow up questions or need any help along the way? Thanks im definitely going to give this a try |
