Here is another look at my take with a few slight changes made, mainly in the opening phrase. It is not played exactly as I would have liked and has a few minor mistakes, basically just in the way I played it. There is an accidental pinch harmonic at about 25 seconds and the short line at about 47 seconds I didn't quite play how I wanted. I think I can still play it a little better if I can find some more time to record before the deadline but if not , this will have to be my final take.

Hi all
Nice Laurent, keep on rock my french friend  My last Take, I tried to play with Jam BT 5 mn, it's too long for me. I preferred to keep my concentration in order to give better licks. Without BT This post has been edited by MisterM: Apr 5 2015, 04:51 PM |

Both of these could still be played with further conviction - but it's obvious you are going in the right direction by yourself, and this basically means you just need lots of more playing time and you will you will bump up your over all level. QUOTE (fzalfa @ Apr 5 2015, 09:52 AM) thankx a lot i'm already searching about the right one, but i'm depleted, this morning, i cannot do something without false notes.... awfull seem to be stuck  i have done these yesterday if i'm right, may a miracle can occure ! who knows ? Laurent Hi Laurent, great! I preferred Nr1, this one feels like you. And I think you keep improving with every new every take, making them more musical every time. Well done! Nr2 felt more like a practice session where you tried to get adventurous with new licks. This is exactly how you should practice, however when recording something for a real-life musical context (which our collabs are - and this is the whole purpose with them) then you should go for whatever makes you feel comfortable. Because when you feel comfortable, that's when you relax and therefore play with much better timing (etc etc).

Someone said the music happens in the pauses, and you illustrate so tastefully. Also well done choosing the right moment to apply more dynamics and reach out for the higher notes. Excellent!

Kris: I finished my take and I tried to keep a good timing. I made a vid because I want to post this on my YT channel and FB. I don't know why but it's the first time when I'm very attached about an improv.
You had right about the tone and because it's a dynamic one, even if I pick more than softly will be a volume difference between picked notes, hammered and fingered notes. I made millions of experiments and every tiny touch (and trust me I really can pick very softly) it's too loud heard. I must make a compromise and I will let at this moment the tone without technical changes because was my homework for this collab. With one single thing I wasn't agree with you and I really hope you will not mind (about that unintentional swing from 00:38). My purpose was to be a little after beat. If I make this right on the beat will change the idea over the lick conception and I will be forced to add one or two extra notes. Maybe it's not a wise timing chose but I like in this way and you know that I always say when I have a different opinion. Please forgive me if this it's a mistake. I promise I will "wash my sins" in a next collab Big thank you for that 0:44, now with that faster bend release sounds good and I love it

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could have some advice on what I have for the first half of the collab before I go on to the second?
https://soundcloud.com/nick-peacock-7/eye-opener-collab-idea-1 Everything after about 30 seconds is just backing track. Thanks! This post has been edited by Nick6373: Apr 6 2015, 09:21 AM |

Well done and great video as well!

Thanks! Awesome to have you in Nick! I think it is fresh to hear you play some real "out" notes - the most noticeable at 00:26. This can (and will) work - but - it increases the demand for a powerful resolution. In other words: what comes after something weird should be super strong, in order for that weird part not to be perceived as a mistake. So in your case I would really want a powerful melody or some strong notes to come after 00:26 . If you manage to pull this off you will have a very fresh and original take. Other than this - I perceived you tone as a bit over distorted for this kind of backing track. So maybe listen to the other takes, see which ones you like, and then try to dial in something a bit more smooth and dynamic. Keep going, I am looking forward to hear what you come up with! |
