Dude Sweet solo, one of the best ive heard in a while you seem to actually enjoy playing which is more than i can say for most guitarists of this day and age, most are in it for the tha omney and the fame not the pure enjoyment of it,, also what chords where you playing?
Great Job!!! Hook yourself up with a band... you have the tallent to make it happen... (Now I'm going to check out your profile and make sure your not in a band.)
You have style. It's hard to find tasty stylish licks these days because most are either doing so fast there's no melody, or so simple its not a solo.
loverly piece of work dude :) wish i could play the guitar.. i just cant seem to pick things up, its a loverly thing to play tho evan if i am just strumming gently with my fingers :)
I loved it man.. And yeah. IT takes practice, i always find that solos don't sound as good to me untill i play them back and listen to it.. cos im not concentrating on playing i have time to enjoy it.
Cool song and idea. The ending wasnt as bad as you described it. Was the backing acoustic guitar dubbed or was the sound all from the original footage?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by dubbed, because in this instance, the ENTIRE soundtrack is "dubbed".
The whole recording is live to video, but the audio you are hearing was being recorded in my 'studio' at the same time I was shooting the video. First the Rhythm, then the Lead.
Then I simply put both video clips together, removed the Video audio, and replaced it with the Wave audio that I recorded while I was shooting.
wow man, this is amazing. the outro was a tad sloppy and you lost a little energy mid way but MAN THIS IS SO UNIQUE. truly a unique sound and style man keep it up. love the minor Spanish sound to it. I want this song on a cd to box blunts too man thats how good it is. just amazing man. i too contrast acoustic rhythms with electric guitar, check out my newest song, inflatable staircase.
You guys have great chemistry, but I couldn't tell who the front man was...(Do I actually hear crickets?)... Bad jokes aside, that sounded really great, you've got some skills! And though it may have a Santana flavor, I feel you have your own thing going on. Thanks for that!
Hang on, so you're the guest editor for youtube this month so you get to pick the featured vids? How many did you have to look through before you made your choice? Must be gruelling with all the choice out there.
Very reflective of a Carlos Santana sound, not bad my man, you definately warmed up to playing as the song progressed. Seemed like it was all improve by the way the end of the backing track snuck up on you. yes?
I really liked the tone of the lead guitar, and the timing with the acoustic is just killer, especially that lick from about :56 - 1:04, and then pretty much from 1:22 it's like...You think it's gonna end, and then just keeps going. Not in a bad way, though.
you are amazing! very very talented would love to hear more and...i'm a big Santana fan so this just makes me wanna listen all day long thank you <3 keep it up :) *hugs*
Dude, I must say. I'm totally digging this tune and so are the boys from work. The rhythm is very basic indeed but extremely catchy and groovy. Then put in that awesome lead, and I must ask: Was it intended to be sounding Santana-ish? Cause that's what I hear and I love it. Keep it up dude.
I suppose you could say that Santana has been a pretty big influence, so it's no surprise to me that other people may hear some of his character in my music.
I just try to play what comes to mind (it's all improvised) and not make too many mistakes along the way ^_^
Although it's probably worth noting that for people who are completely new to guitar - Guitar Hero is at least going to give them some of the finger strangth they need.
you're really good mate! i'm subscribing :D
