Members mosiddiqi Posted March 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 Cool to see how many different interpretations of this there are. Anyways, this is what came out (Logic's built-in amp sims... my only playing time is when the wife & baby are asleep). Tried not to overthink this one... not that that's every really that much of a problem for me... ;-) http://www.box.net/shared/o4k3gsp00x I really enjoyed this one!...cool sound, I like your attack, and your slurs gave it a really nice almost Jimmy Pagey feel to my ears.

Thanks so much! It was played on a LP... I'm tempted to do a track w/ a strat to see how differently it comes out, although now it'll be influenced by listening to all the other great tracks. I heard blues, but Jasco, Gennation & Monson's takes really opened my mind to other possibilities of playing over this. I played through a bunch of times to get the feel for it and work out a couple things like the intro and outtro, and where the changes are. I ended up taking parts from couple different takes - the A section from one, the rest from another, and a few punches to fix things here and there. I wanted to end on that last high note, but I simply could not do the very last bend - high E, highest fret, bent up 3 half steps (I think). Even playing that one note by itself I couldn't get it. I ended up tapping it and use my left hand to help bend, so it came out a little weaker & softer than i wanted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GreenAsJade Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 Figured I'd give it a whack... http://www.box.net/shared/s9ev4no8if This is a fantastic original take! All sorts of new ideas in there, especially the opening, with good thematic stuff. Rather unfortunate tone though, I have to say. GaJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather unfortunate tone though, I have to say. GaJ Dangit! I was going to make that my signature tone:cry:... the search continues. Thanks for the compliments! I was actually trying to go in a different direction. Normally this kind of song makes me think neck pup fairly clean. I chose bridge HB and 2 VSTs, Drive 5 for the distortion and Luxonics for the "space" using delay and flanger. Were you thinking it sounded too shrill?

Members GreenAsJade Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 Yeah - words are always hard for this stuff. "Shrill" is one ... the main thing that lept to mind for me was "buzzy" ... like "buzz saw distortion". *shrug* its all very subjective, though, eh?

Members GreenAsJade Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 I've always wanted to transcribe my take over this progression, maybe this is a good time to. And then we can pick it apart. ... For you next lesson, listen to my take and try and learn the first 4 bars of the solo GaJ transcription services ... at your service [ATTACH]317655[/ATTACH] I'll do some more, obviously, when I have some more time.... looking forwards to your help with "picking this apart", Mike!

Members Yngtchie Blacksteen Posted March 15, 2010 Members Share Posted March 15, 2010 Since I tried out my new guitar for the first time today, I figured I'd just participate in this little jam thingie while I was at it. It's an Ibanez RG 370 DX that I bought used the other day, and after some adjusting and a string change, it was good to go. Don't really care for these pickups, they're way too hot for my liking, as you'll probably tell by the recording, but I'll probably install some new ones if I decide to keep it.Link is in my sig.

Members JeTmAn Posted March 16, 2010 Members Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hello, fellows! New member here. I've been reading this thread and thought it would be fun to contribute. Here's my offering:http://www.box.net/shared/9usg18mfe1 I gave it about eight tries before finally settling on this. I figured without a lot more practice and listening time, I wouldn't do any better, so what the hey! I can say that listening to my playing like this really highlights a lot of the things I want to do better. I'm really just noodling here, when I'd like to be creating meaningful musical phrases. It's fun doing this, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreenAsJade Posted March 16, 2010 Members Share Posted March 16, 2010 Welcome! Fantastic first post! Plenty of "meaningful musical phrases" in there - that was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreenAsJade Posted March 16, 2010 Members Share Posted March 16, 2010 incredible, you really strut the blues there, while keeping it classy . i learned a lot from your site when i was starting out a few years ago. really loved the double stops. What guitar and amp was used in that by the way? almost makes me think it was an acoustic - loved the tone. anyways - here's my take. http://www.box.net/shared/0j7721zlmr(a few flubbed lines - ich, but i figured i wasnt going to get a better take) any kind of feedback is appreciated Hey another awesome first post! Wow!And so many really "fresh" interpretations.Ignoring a few missed notes, which can happen to anyone, yours was great.Your opening really grabbed attention with that unexpected high opening note.The only "critique" I would offer is that the initial phrases, up to about 0.13, seemed to have something "to say". The next little section was more "noodly", especially 0:16-0:18. If there was one bit to "rework", it'd be that bit, IMHO.But overall well done - and welcome!

Members Yngtchie Blacksteen Posted March 16, 2010 Members Share Posted March 16, 2010 Excellent playing as expected Yngtchie! I dunno, I think I could've nailed the chords much better than I did. I'm still sorta musically illiterate, so I haven't learned how to identify the various chords and figure out good arps to play over each.It's a work-in-progress. Glad you liked it.

I can't recall if you posted on one of the other pages. If not, I'd like to hear you do a take on it as well. It's interesting, as I was listening to undertaker's track I noticed how much more "Strat" his sound was, even though I was playing a Strat on mine as well. I guess I've got a lot of processing on my lead channel through the pedal I'm using (Boss GT-10). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had actually listened to that one already, I think. Good stuff! It actually reminds me a bit of the way I play. I think if I had adopted a more aggressive, rippin' approach to this solo I would've played something closer to what you're laying down there. Are you a fan of Clapton?

Members jonfinn Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 Man! That track is irresistable! Every time I write a tune I wanna use stuff like that but I tend to avoid it because it's a pretty common progression (cuz it's cool)! I've been listening to some of the takes, and I love it! so many points of view/approaches! Great stuff you guys! My thing with improv lately has been to try to make it sound like I tossed it off, but have everything sound good... almost like it was worked out ahead of time. This take is the 3rd. Would love your feedback thanks! -JonJF Minor Madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
