I think one thing that could make this way better is working a bit on your note selection.

I like it

Also; if you criticize, you must post a recording of yourself

Ha, like I can actually play an instrument

I swear you played.

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Either way, I said 'recording. Sexual ones work fine, but only if you're not in it and 2 hot lesbians are.

Yeah I've only been 'writing' solo's for about a week, but I think this is a decent accomplishment. I really like it, obviously it could sound more proper but that's boring

Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Duane Allman

These guys all have a great sense of melody, the two essencial components of music are:  Melody & Rhythm

As a teacher, if I could only give a student one lesson I  would spend that time trying to convince them to learn to sing. Even if one doesn't sing during performances, not knowing how to sing (for the perspective it gives on music) is a major handicap

I guess I'm missing what you're saying. The song has melody (especially in the rhythm).. I'm not using fancy 11b9 chords or anything, its just rock n roll with a nice little hook and bridge Melody's an afterthought (in this case) and built to accentuate the rhythm (which it does in my opinion).

Learning to sing and not having the ability are different things. I have a.. bad... voice.

And I'm not Jimi Hendrix or Duane Allman This is 1 of 3 songs I've ever written, I think Jimi had about 200.

Do you have any real songs you've recorded? Your improv didn't really show much other then that you know some finger style and can apply it to a scale I'd be more apt to hear what you're saying if you gave me something BY you and that has structure (not improv or a cover)

It was some pretty good shit. How long have you been playing? Also, are you self taught?
Did you use a looper pedal or was that through your recording program?

Thanks I've been on/off for 4 years.. I should be better but work and school kicked my ass a lot of the time.
Self taught.. learned everything I know from Justinguitar.com & playing around to records
I have a looper pedal.. jam man 100.. didn't use it though. I did that through audacity. I added a 'phaser' effect to the first solo solo and then added digital echo to the 2nd solo which gives it the delay sound (which kicks ass I think)

once you get the shit let me know if you have any questions.. $150 aint bad at all though.. hardest part is figuring out correct volume balances and shit.

Im a big phish fan, but I can dig this.

I am absolutely obsessed with guitar. I just started playin about three months ago.


Im much better at learning Soloing than I am Rhythm, somehow im really good at naturally picking it up.
I havent learned shit about music theory and what have you yet so I have a ton of work to do (and im stuck with an acoustic, when im really adamant about electric) and I dont really know where to start.

Idk why I rambled but my point is for some nice chill rock n roll I dig it and im envious of you.

Edit: and btw ive always had some weird perverted interest in your avatar

I'm in love with the Dead. Never listened to Phish (I think I have a negative opinion of them cause I'm a dead fan :lol).

I hope you stick with it. it's fun and literally the only thing that relieves anger/stress. Check out Justinguitar.com, it's a fucking fantastic website ran by a fantastic dude (justin sandercoe) and 100% free with option to help support him by buying kickass products that teach you a lot.

i came more natural to playing rhythm and chords etc and learning soloing is a new battle for me.. but I've been doing transcribing and am learning a lot and also just playing to records and figuring out how to fix a 'wrong' note, etc. etc. I've gotten drastically better at soloing, i used to be pretty terrible (still am but better )

check that justin dude's "practical music theory" book out.. it'll teach you everything you need to know. fantastic book and it's only about $10 or $15 but worth it. check out his 'beginners course' if you want a nice play to start. he has an intermediate course too but best start at the basic.

everyone has a weird interest in my avatar

i liked my old one too.. i wonder if anybody remembers it.

Ive been playing for 8 years almost 9 now.
Im completely self taught too.
Over the years ive bounced around all kinds of different styles from Classic Rock to Metal. Now ive landed on Blues and Jazz.
Maybe ill just head over to my buddies recording studio and try to get some stuff done and put it up here.

i'd love to hear it. probably blow me outta the water. i love classic rock/blues the most. been told i sound like nirvana mixed with hendrix I guess which makes sense. both from seattle and so am I
