I recorded this on a friends MacMini today, plugging the guitar straight into his Imic and using the distortion from Garageband. I threw down a riff, tracked it one left, one right, put in a drum beat, and then did a quick one-take improv over it. I personally think it sounds pretty good. The guitar I used was a stock Jackson JS-1, bridge bucker for rhythm, neck for leads.

Don't mind the high pitched little beeps in the middle and at the end, if they come up. Whenever I touched the volume knob, it made a strange sound.

Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

That was cool. I like how the delay doubled some of the longer lines. :)
 
Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

Thanks Ben, but I didn't even have the option to turn it off, so I made it work for me. :laugh2:

Bump for other people.
 
Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

wow thats nice stuff. im floored. i do like the tone too its inspiring. areu seriously 14? thats incredible...
 
Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

Dude, you seriously own! I wish I could play like that, and I'm older! The tone is nice and deep. I bet you practice your scales and review theories.
 
Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

I actually know slim to none about theory; just enough to harmonize, play in key, and to converse with my keyboardist.
 
Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

Nice improv man! :headbang:

Theres a couple of sloppy bits, but overall it's a good clip. The tone's pretty cool too
 
Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

That's some pretty nice stuff there. Great clip.

Kind of lost me halfway through lead-wise... Still, very fun.

You definetely have to come to your senses to remember that you're only 14!

Yeah, it was a really random one-take thing.

What do you mean about coming to my senses though? I'm not quite sure I follow.

Thanks! I've been playing for 3 years or so on electric now. However, I'm a total woodshedder, and play guitar for 2 hours minimum every day. Now that it's summer, I'm usually out jamming 4-5 hours a day.
 
Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

keep it up bro...that's some serious shredding...especially for an improve type thing!!!

YOU ROCK!!!
 
Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

Cool playing, DSS!

Hell, I hadnt even started to play at that age!
 
Re: Improv, and a bit of Proof that Tone is in the Fingers

dont worry, with those skills you'll probably get bitten by the jazz bug eventually. It'd test your skills and be loads of fun to throw down lightning fast clean bebop runs over chord changes, not that i can do any of it, i could just accompany a few simple progressions and such.

It's good to see all that skill being backed up with serious practice though. Lots of players always argue that they'd be way better if they practiced as much as {insert badass guitarrist}. When it comes to this, i think that talent doesn't really exist, your potential is only in your will to practice and make something out of what you enjoy.

Thumbs up dude!
