Lolz, thanks man!
My band does this song as an encore a lot so I know the ascending lick pretty well. Although I never did bother to figure out the dimished-y lick after that. I usually just turn my volume down and move my fingers while whistling inconspicuously. I think the closest I've gotten it was on that take.
Hehe, and almost to the minute that I got my chops up to "shred" level, everyone started listening to stupid Kurt Cobain! :mad2:
Anyway, here's mine. First take, but I did a a do-over on the keyboard solo part. The first one wasn't pretty!
Ha! That brought a huge smile to my face. Love how that first solo gets going after you lay into the wang wheel! Great outside stuff at 1:17!! And where the keyboard solo goes to the end was over-the-top wanky awesomeness!!!
Nice stuff!
I just thought of the walkdown as all major triads descending chromatically from Ab to F, which is basically the same as what Anton said because F-7 is just an Ab triad with an F bass note.
You're hitting the IV chord nicely and the turnaround is cool, but I'd love to hear a more minor sound on the I chord.
And here's my little groove. This is definitely in my favorite three or four backing tracks ever. So channeling Johhny Guitar Watson!
...oh, and you owe me a game of chess now, Anton.
Hehe, they're procrastination catnip, aren't they?
Great playing!! Love the near naked tone, and the sixths. And then playing in reverse!!! Awesome stuff!
Kinda diggin this quazimodal thing that's playing now too.
Hehe thanks! Yeah, if I find my third finger is on the 4, there's a pretty good chance that's gonna get played.
Really dug yours. Really crisp and the chromatic 4th thing was awesome! Gonna give that and the others a closer listen later. Gotta head off and see the Martian now.
