!!!SAT SHRED FEST X12!!!! Direct Link Here: http://bit.ly/saturdayshredx12 X12!!! "SHOUT" (Hard Rock Version of course) SOLO SECTION in G MINOR (3rd Fret, 15th fret Minor Scale)DOWNLOAD: mp3 backing x12_Backing.mp3 ( 2.27MB ) Number of downloads: 77 https://soundcloud.com/techniqueswithtodd/shout-tears-for-fears-metal-version-cover-solo-section-g-minor KEY: G Minor BPM: 110 SCALES TO USE: G Minor DUE DATE: Before Midnight Next Saturday!!! *Demo Example for Ideas Can be SLOW or any speed you like. We are using a more familiar key this time, and one that is easier to work in, and allows open string licks on the G string. I'm hoping this will encourage folks to give it a whirl Don't be shy people! This is NOT A COLLAB but something new. It's a "Challenge" I challenge you to play anything over this backing. It doesn't have to be good, it doesn't have to shred, it just has to have you in it playing like you really mean it!!! That's it so here is what I need. 1.)Reply to this post with a youtube video of your performance. EMBED the video in the post (Ask me if you need any help) That's it, no files, no transfers, just you playing I will give you feedback on your submission and you will get your updated SHRED FEST MISSION BADGE for having the stones to put yourself out there and for making the time to make music.

GROOT!! Here is a demo of the bits @ 10 and 20 seconds in the solo in question from X11. Thanks much for breaking down your solo a bit as well!!!
Your ears were spot on, the first bit is a "Double Tapping" thing. The second bit can be done with alt picking or using picking/hammer ons. the part I'm refering to is from :10-:13. Would love to know whats going on there. Sound like some kind of double tapping? Really dig that melodic sequence from :20-:23 too. The whole solo sounds fantastic! It's ready for ya I put the mp3 directly in the post as well. X12 SOLO CHALLENGE DIRECT LINK! Hi Todd GREAT !!!!! i really love this one but , can you made the MP3 downloadable plz cheers Laurent Let me know if you have any issues with the tempo or what not. I hope you can put up a take on this one! Is your Ibanez fixed and ready to go? bit.ly/saturdayshredx12 Is the tempo really 120bpm? Reaper doesn't seem to align it very well at 120. Seems more like 140 ish to me? 141 to be precise?

!!! SAT SHRED FEST X-13 !!!! Direct Link Here: http://bit.ly/saturdayshredx13 X-13!!! This is a backing that is in C MINOR. So C PENTATONIC/BLUES, C NATURAL MINOR will work great! Remember to land on the root now and then (The Root Notes are in BLUE in the scale tablature chart). Also, DON"T MOVE TO THE 12th FRET and play the blues or minor scale!!! (That's the wrong key). This one Starts on the E on the 8th and 20th fret. DOWNLOAD: mp3 backing X13_Backing_SeeMeInShadow.mp3 ( 2.37MB ) Number of downloads: 67 https://soundcloud.com/techniqueswithtodd/backingtrack_cminor KEY: C Minor BPM: 110 SCALES TO USE: C Pentatonic Minor, C Blues, C Natural Minor DUE DATE: Before Midnight Next Saturday!!! *Can be SLOW or any speed you like, doesn't have to shred or be fast. ---------- This is something new. It's a "Challenge" I challenge you to play anything over this backing. It just has to have you in it playing like you really mean it!!!

Thanks for the pep talk, I tried playing it for a while on a loop and just kept recording. This was my favorite take, and I had a lot of fun
