Members bigboy_78 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! -Jon JF Minor Madness Hahah.....I haven't got sound at work, but I can imagine the "feedback" will be "Holy {censored} Jon, we're not worthy". I love the complete lack of ego around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love your feedback thanks! -Jon JF Minor Madness Wow. Well...I remember Tom Jones saying "some people CAN play, and some people can PLAY". I think that take fits the second part of the saying!..I loved it. Really cool lines, nice mix of blues/harmonic minor and jazzy phrasing. To put it into context, whilst I was concentrating hard to play simply to the changes..you sound like you're effortlessly playing the changes..actually leading from one chord to the other. Excellent, I have tons of homework to do. In summary Holy {censored} Jon, we're not worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BydoEmpire Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 Wow. Well...I remember Tom Jones saying "some people CAN play, and some people can PLAY".That's a GREAT quote. Would love your feedback thanks!-JonJF Minor Madness Another great take, very cool touch & tone. I loved that little run starting about 0:46, it was a nice way to break things up with a simple, straightforward line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeremy_green Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Very cool Jon! Nice and slinky and as Mo said you could really hear the changes yet they sounded so smooth. You rode the wave of technique and feel wonderfully. I like the way you played with the time to! Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Undertaker4 Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Now that is a sweeeeet Strat tone! Thanks, it's just a California Strat w/Fralin Blues pickups ---> Guitar Rig 4. ..really cool, like your attack and the way you're going for the bends..don't think you quite got them all Probably not, I'm coming back from severe myalgia I've had for awhile (who knew a high fever can trigger it), so bending is still painful. Definitely something I am working to get back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the complete lack of ego around here. Well apart from the lavish praise of note choice, phrasing etc. but you already know how good you play.IF I had to give some feedback on what I'd change to make it better, I 'd say I wasn't a big fan of the tone of your guitar. Sounded a bit like Steve Vai turned up to play with the wedding band if you know what I mean. {censored} hot other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On tone, I was going for "good enough for the twenty or so minutes I spent working on it". I agree it's not "master quality tone", it was Amplitube X-Gear. I like it for quick and dirty projects, but I tend to go with real amps for projects that I devote more time to. I didn't use a pick for a lot of it, which changes the tone a lot. Less attack ( which like for some things). I was holding it, but not only got used for faster runs. Thanks for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gennation Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 I lost track of this thread a while back, did Pop ever play over it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreenAsJade Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 I don't think so. He's been kinda quiet except for the occasional theory gem answer that totally nails the question, from time to time. Meanwhile we're waiting eagerly for your feedback on the homework lesson: Quote: 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 minorballad_gennation.pdf (first 4 bars ) I'll do some more, obviously, when I have some more time.... looking forwards to your help with "picking this apart", Mike!

Members GreenAsJade Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 OK - note I only did 4 bars, partly because that's what you said, and partly because I ran out of time I'm definitely up for doing more though... ... if what's there not enough to do anything interesting with, just let us know GaJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, although listening back to it in the cold light of day it sounds pretty rough round the edges, in hind sight I'd probably be embarrassed to post it given the quality of some of the other takes on here! I was over excited at the prospect of finally being able to record something I think! I really liked your take too, very bluesy. One of the best on the thread in my opinion.

Members Monson Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 I remember this take before. Way to stick to the changes and lay back.It's a different take than the one I posted a few years ago. I lost the other one.But it's a very nice BT, very open to different approaches as this thread proves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BydoEmpire Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 What's neat about this track is that it's straightforward enough that pretty much anyone can jump in and play over it, but it's got enough going on chordally where people who know what they're doing can go deeper and play more interesting and complex parts.
