Re: Friendly Solo Contest 2

Dude... I dunno what new toy that is... But I sure do hope it has a warranty...

And if you’re saying this is better than your first version (which I don’t see on this thread but it is on your SoundCloud channel)... Sorry to break the bad news to you... But no it ain’t!!! LOL!!!


P.S.

I assume it’s an Octave pedal or something???

Re: Friendly Solo Contest 2

No excuses. And no sympathy!!! LOL!!! My contribution took thirteen days at between four and six hours per day. And it's not done yet. But I was starting pretty much from scratch i.e. you already have the chops. I had to work that thing out note-by-note to fit stuff in that "sounded" right (because I don't know my guitar SCALES or THEORY) (he says tongue in cheek)!!!

Didn't meant it as excuse and don't need no sympathy Just responding that it's not that serious

I think many don't participate these because they don't have time to focus for it and don't want to post something that's not "their level".

Re: Friendly Solo Contest 2

All my contribution in tips and clips have been improvisation with one or two takes

I really need to invest time to post something actually practiced...

Re: Friendly Solo Contest 2

Don't think of it as a contest. More an exhibition.
And if someone doesn't like what you do, they can go hang.
I (perfectionist that I am) still think that it's better to try and fail, then to not try at all.
Besides, in a hundred years or so, you won't care whether or not what you did was good or bad.

Re: Friendly Solo Contest 2

Having a re-listening right now, yeah the 22nd fret has always been a problem for me with that guitar. The neck joint is just so thick I can't wrap my hands around it, so that tends to happen.

Re: Friendly Solo Contest 2

As far as criticism is concerned: as I said yesterday it needs to be constructive is all. And could even point out something that maybe wasn’t noticed before. In your case: because of the very high notes at that point it may not even be your solo or playing i.e. could be an intonation problem on that particular guitar (something that I discovered myself when doing my solo). See what I mean???

Re: Friendly Solo Contest 2

Dude!!! When I was saying to submit something I didn’t mean for you to be showing me up!!! LOL!!!

Very good. You sure got some chops going there.

Only one real criticism and that is that something goes “off” for a very few seconds starting at just about 0:54.

But great. Good on you. Now why don’t you (and others that may be lurking here) take a look at @LLL’s “Hearing Aid” (LOL!!!) thread???

I'll give it a look, thanks!

Also, thanks for the criticism! It's always good and healthy to have criticism in order to grow.

This is my personal cell phone. I'd post but I don't have the means to simultaneously play the track and record at the same time.
Hmmm, maybe I should just wing it without the backing track.

Go for it. Quality of recording etc. not on show here.

Re: Friendly Solo Contest 2

Alright. Here's my submission. 3 guitars for a 3-part solo with 2 extra tracks overlaid over certain parts.

EDIT: Reuploaded

Re: Friendly Solo Contest 2

Here. Remembered what it was and I found it. Cheesy as it may have been when you first heard it when you were young: very surprising at just how apt and meaningful it becomes the older you get.
