Betcha Can't Play This

guitar world magazine has a monthly article with this title and i thought it would be cool
if the forum has one of its own. not only can we learn some cool licks from each other, we
can challenge each other to step our playing up a notch or two.

here's how i propose it to work:

1. name your lick and include BPMs (so we know how to set our metronomes)
2. post a tab in standard text notation
3. include a short clip first slow and then fast

* no more than 4 measures long

here's the clip and then the tab:

|-19_14\10--------------710_7_10/14|_10--/19_14--t22_19_14--14-------------------|
|---------12-----------8-------------|---12------15----------15--15--15------------|
|-----------11--------7--------------|------------------------------16--16--14/16~-|
|-------------12-----9---------------|------------------------------------16--------|
|---------------14\10----------------|-----------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|

this shouldn't be limited to fast runs, so if you have some blues or jazz licks or even some killer chord progressions, post them too. let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Re: Betcha Can't Play This

i don't know if anyone hates this thread or if you're just waiting for my clip, so i posted a clip. sorry about the recording. it came out kind of faint, so you'll have to turn up the volume. anyone have any contributions to this thread or should this tread die? bad idea for a thread?
 
Re: Betcha Can't Play This

I think it's a pretty sweet idea for a thread. I should come up with something to play, then actually master it and record it. :D
 
Re: Betcha Can't Play This

This is actually a pretty good idea for a rolling thread. Nice work BBB. I just shortened your name cause there are alot of B's in there.
 
Re: Betcha Can't Play This

I can't listen to Soundclick stuff at work so I'm not sure how fast you're playing that, but I'm fairly certain by looking at the tab that I'm not going to be able to do it. :)

I would post a clip, but I haven't quite mastered this one yet.
 
Re: Betcha Can't Play This

Here's somethin' I came up with the other night, for the bassists. It's really simple, but sounds pretty decent. I'm posting it as a GP5 bitmap. I'll post a clip later, I don't got my stuff set up.

Re: Betcha Can't Play This

I can play "Night Moves" by Bob Seger on acoustic. Does that count for anything?

Re: Betcha Can't Play This

Im gonna cheat. (if thats ok) After hearing the talk about Necrophagist, I decided to download two of their songs off of their site and proceed to kill myself learning one of their solos. Here it is, good luck!

tempo=240bpm

Re: Betcha Can't Play This

how did you cheat? By it not being something you wrote, or did you speed up that last part?
 
Re: Betcha Can't Play This

Suislide the second version was the right version - the Paganini way. Awesome stuff man.
 
Re: Betcha Can't Play This

haha no I didnt speed it up, I mentioned I proceeded to kill myself learning that solo. Took a couple hours from start to a recording, with 95% of that time working with the metronome. Notice how sloppy it sounds? Thats about the best I can do lol. I would really like to hear someone play it better at that tempo.
