GnRmaniac Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Sounds pretty good, who did the lead in that riff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanGenie Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 Ha finally an answer B) coolI did both the solo and the background riff. I used a gibson les paul but it's sounds a bit like I'm using a Ibanez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zillah Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I really like the soft guitar at the beginning -- the 'actual solo' sounds pretty damn cool up to about the first 45 to 50 seconds. After that there's just so many frills and shit going on that it gets REALLY annoying to listen to. Keep in mind that I know jack shit about this stuff, okay? Just giving an honest opinion of how it sounds to the untrained ear. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizz Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 The riff sounds awesome at the start. The solo starts well but i tend to agree it gets a bit samey towards then end. It's better than anything I could so far but I feel you could mix it up a bit more.By the way what setup do you have? It sounds pretty good.

JeanGenie Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 Well I used the Korg Tone works effect machine and a gibson les paul special. i used a little chorus for the background and high gain for the lead part. maybe I there is some slight echo or reverb. I can't remember exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryne Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I like the riff/background guitar. I think it gets pretty scrambled with the solo though. I think it'd be cool if you just broke off from the opening riff and started on the solo and then when the solo starts to breakdown there is another guitar in the background complimenting it. I definently liked the first part of the recording though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slashtastic Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Learn to play.Do something other than improvising in the pentatonic,that way it wont sound crap.Its embarrasing when you try and play with speed,get some shredding tecniques to practice.

JeanGenie Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 My solo wasn't bad dude criticm is ok but you're way too harsh to be taken serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnRmaniac Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I bet Slashtastic is just jealous, I have been playing guitar for 8 years and still can't rip solo's that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanGenie Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 thanks for the support gnrmaniac. I play since 2000 now. I picked up the guitar when I was 16. Im not as good as I wanna be but I think I made a good progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binge_And_Slash Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Both were great...BUTAnd I hope you don't take this the wrong way.Should not be put together.It's like putting a GnR Solo with a RHCP Riff, both great, but don't fit together.I liked your solo, it would fit in a good rock song.As for the riff, very RHCP style, I'd suggest doing something slow, possibly acoustic for a solo for that riff.The pay off would be better in my opinion.As for the Solo.... hmm, try and put it into something that's chords being played, quite heavy chords...power chords even possibly (Think Eminor, A and G)Then you've got two totally awesome songs right there.

JeanGenie Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) thanks binge I thought the same that it sounds pretty much like a RHCP song. I recorded it quickly so there is much space for improvement. I will take your advices into consideration. I have a bunch of song ideas maybe I'm gonna post some of them here as well.

>you Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 like what binge saidi like the riff and i like the solo but together they dont mixthe solo kinda eats up the riff, something a ltitle less melodic (not quite the right word) as the rhythm would work better behind the solo, some hard power chords or even some strummed open chords would sound good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budweiser Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 it def sounds good - but where is any rythym??????? i think it could be a lot better if you would take your time - try playing with a metronome - it would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
