Let me first congratulate you all the progress you have made. Your solos are getting better and better. Go back and watch your first shred fest challenge and then watch this one. You've come a long way. Your tone is great, your finger control is very impressive, not to mention the quality of the bends always hitting the right mark and then the use of multiple chordal techniques to enhance the dynamics of everything. Nice The bits where you use a variety of chordal bits back to back is quite nice. Taken as a whole it creates a very FLOYD vibe that Gilmour himself would be proud of. Well done
Its been a crappy week, hardly picked up my guitar much at all but....... Floyd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yCi1QzDUaQ Great to see you in the Challenge!! Loved the solo The Gilbert tone is pretty spot on imho! The tone works great with the backing. Your playing works great with it as well!! All your woodshedding is showing results. I'm glad also to see you picking up your axe!! I know you've been a busy guy of late so thanks for taking time to make a take! The licks are great and the bends all hit the mplaying in certain spots, is very Gilmour. One of his bit things was always leaving space for silence from the guitar to give great contrast to the notes that he did play. Well done guitaark. Also your use of space/e.g. not Hey Todd,
basically at the last minute: here's my take I took my new axe for a testdrive and tried a Gilmour GR5 preset (which was sadly very buzzy when I didn't play). Anyways, love the backing track. Christian This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Dec 17 2016, 09:26 PM |

Hello Todd,
I really needed a break from the Jack White lesson, I've been playing that, Highway To Hell and, Breaking The Law for a month solid. I apologise if this is a little limited with the old pentatonics but as I say I've been in jail with Jack White and friends for a month and needed to break out -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in instalments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success.” Israelmore Ayivor |
