My colleague gave me a lend of his late fathers guitar with strict instructions to get up the dusty end!
All parts were a 1 take except for 1st solo which I forgot to hit record in the DAW first time around hence the blunders Iāve left in
Not happy with the tone. Was using the free plugin Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) which I am finding my feet with and have found some nice distortion tones but if Iām honest the pickups on this guitar arenāt greatā¦thats my excuse anyway!
Solos are improvised, too much resolving to the root which is always my weakness when under pressure, and I didnāt play enough out and out licks but the action and setup didnāt inspire confidence!
I thought the improvised solos were great Neil! Listening to the solos in the absence of your comments, I wouldnāt think āoh heās landing on the root too muchā. Some progressions just naturally lend themselves to that type of playing and sound worse if you try to chase every chord.
Well played! I donāt know the song: your tone sounded quite good: you may be comparing it to the original; your performance is good in its own right.
That was pretty decent to me, and the tone wasnāt bad, not brilliant either. Your try a impro the solo was OK, it pays to put your own stamp on it I think, a straight cover isnāt as good as an impromptu interpretation to me!
Very nice 1-take post Neil! I forget what you call it when you play a note and bend to that note on the next lower string, but Iāve always liked that sound. The one at about the 1:53 mark works great in your solo.
Sounded pretty good to me mate. It didnāt sound like you were on that root too much, as you were travelling away from it a fair distance at times then coming back to it.
One good drill Iāve found re the āroot resolution problemā is to purposely avoid it in some practice drills - try the 3rd, 5th etc, and see what sort of lines you come up with.
hence the blunders Iāve left in
