Re: Bad Apples
Hey man, I like hearing these not so well known G N' R songs. Here is my critique. In the intro try to use a clean sound like the recording, and possibly check the rhythms. For the most part the playing during the rest of the tune is pretty good, but the tone leaves (IMO) a lot to be desired. It could be the fact that I have heard this song so many times that I have it in my head a certain way, but I would try to get closer to Slash's sound on this one. The solo was good too for the most part, you hit all the ideas, I dont know if all of the fast stuff was note for note but it was close. In technical terms for the solo, try to copy Slash's phrasing, he is almost always legato and connected. Also some of the bends should be better intonated. All of the stuff after the solo was rockin' great though. When you listen to it, are these the criticisms you'd give? I have been tossing around the notion of recording Don't Damn Me, but its kind of a pain in the ass to program drums. But i will probably do it eventually.
