OM:simon- bad improvisation

u are too modest. 8)

a distinct melody would help the solo. would do with a more proper ending.

ur phrasing is good.. could do with more rests though.
 
hi thor..thanx for the comment.. mm but can u pls explain in more details by wat u mean i could do more with the rest?? i noe the recording is kinda bad cuz i used a mic.. and i cant do it direct dude to some latentcy.. but yea i really appreciate the comment.. pls do advise more in the rest department.. thanx alot!
 
its nice......

however, i feel ur being very mindful of the theory, the scales.. and techniques.. i think u could do better by actually going with the groove.. by your feel.. i think that was happening in the earlier parts....
 
i see.. thanx dhalif.... i see ur point... but i am kinda stuck in this phrasing? i dunno.. i am really trying to go by feel.. and i tend to screw it up sometimes.. and another thing is i personally feel tht i kinda lack vocabulary...
 
you understand me right? its not like.. dun even think about scales.. just ermm.. know them... and the rest is how u express your emotions.. thats all there is to it babehhhhhhhhhh...
 
Not too shabby man...

This type of song must always feeeeeliiing....Channel all ur emotions to ur fingers... If sometimes ur stuck try to hum or sing out the melody then figure out how to play that on the guitar... Thats what I do sometimes... Hehe...

hmm first things off i think i'm not as good as a guitarist as you... heh

but anyway i try to listen and give opinions based purely as a listener.

rests... i'm particularly referring to the empty space in between one phrase and another. the intro part is fine since it's mainly melody. for the 2nd half i feel letting listeners catch "breathers" (rests) would be good to make ur shredding portions more prominent. having off-beats, semitone-slide-to-actual notes etc also help in making those portions have a distinct flavour.
 
0h.. i see.. haha... i seem to have tht bad habit of not letting my parts breath.. my keyboardist told me tht too.. damn... anyone out there can help with tht??
 
hmm... i think it's not something that's easily learnt over time... i have MAJOR problems phrasing as well. working with offbeat phrasing, delibrately delaying ur playing riffs, playing less notes, focusing on short, fast licks probably would help.

well i dunno. i'm as bad when it comes to phrasing and letting the sound "breathe". :cry:
 
well thor we all learn.. yea its a good idea.. i will try tht out... meanwhile is there anybody out there whu can help us in this area tht me and thor faces?? haha.. well its not tht bad but its good tht we learn it from each other.. thanx bro!
 
alright, i kinda like the melody of the beginning part, bt i think when u have those little pauses, maybe u can jst hold on to the last note instead of a silent break. and the part going on to the chorus, was nt very into the music even though the lick was cool.

bt overall, u kick ass man.
 
yo simon.. i can hear the general idea of the tune.... but i think you need to develope it abit... maybe hold back in the beginning ... not like number of notes... but ..more like dun tell the whole story... get what i mean?

and the always try to do all the fast stuff in the middle of a tune where the build up is about to climax... doing it when the song is fading out is abit... off...
like watching a porn clip for 3 mins.. then last 5 seconds the best shit starts happening.

ah.. yes thanx for the comment.. yea i think its true too.. and i needed tht.. thanx!
 
hey chan when u say play all the fast stuff in the middle of the tune.. which part should i start from in the clip?? which section?
 
no lah just saying that... the fast bits shouldnt have been in the dying seconds of the song.... it sounded like you knew the song was ending...and just wanted to squeeze in a few fancy licks before it ended...

could be any where..its up to you to play it.. but i would have started slow like you did... added a few clever fast licks.. THEN slow down again... like more dynamic ... and emmotional.
