Hello Todd,
Here is my take. As my schedule with Gab is pretty tight I've crammed this one in this evening, I only listened to the backing once before improvising over it This was the third take so don't expect much I'll try another one if this is too bad. If it does level up, I'll go up to level 7, just so you know for the badge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrZodj0CeBE -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Nicely done! Especially considering you only heard it once before taking a pass at it. I really dig what you did with it too. I noticed that you focused on the pentatonic scale. You did quite well with it and the solo worked as well I'd say try to throw in some licks one octave up for variety even if you stay in the same scale. Even better, throw bits of the minor scale in with bits of the pentatonic. This is a trick that has been used to great effect by countless legendary Axe Men, not the lease of which is Kirk Hammet. In other worlds you just LEVELED UP!!
CONGRATS!!! Hello Todd,

Thanks Todd,
I tried a couple of different things in there, one being multiple bends from one pick of the string. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Been busy of late. Things settling so more time to play. Just working on some ideas. No vid yet. I went outside recommendations and tried some alternate stuff. I played Gmajor in the first part then switched to Gminor while checking out Cooper AxeFx Amp Switching Preset on the fly. Nothing fast or fancy. I like throwing in a major tonality note during minor runs so I thought I'd check playing a major influence melody against a minor backing. Anyway, maybe I get some time to record the vid around work.

Working Tues-Sat makes submission difficult. Maybe I get to a video tonight but gots lot to do. Stayed in the vein this time. Lots of fun. Played without a pick and just my fingers only, barrel roll style, hence the attack is somewhat different. Came in a bit early at the pause too.

Nice work!!! Dig the solo You can use a cell phone to record the vid and use the mic on the cell phone and just let it pick up the audio from your home speakers and or amp etc. That way vids can be quick and dirty Web cam works too, anything that shoots video is fine, quality is a secondary issue to being able to see your fingers going for it against the backing. The only reason I make video a requirement is so that other folks can see your fingers and get an idea of what you are doing and maybe grab bits of it to use in their own work So that way this becomes a learning clinic for everyone as well as a performance clinic for those in the vids. You can shoot a new solo if you like or play the one you've got, whatever is easiest for you I think you have a good handl on this one and I think you are off on Sunday, so I here by extend the deadline just for you so you can have time to get a vid in and get the badge that is well deserved!!!!
I"m putting up a new collab Sat, maybe you can shoot them both at once on Sunday? Whatever works for you works for me I hope you can share a vid with us, you've got some cool chops there that would contribute nicely to the group!! Todd Working Tues-Sat makes submission difficult.
