Cantaloupe Island Solo

I tried to play something different. The solo is composed entirely by me, background is from a Herbie Hancock song called Cantaloupe Island. Don't worry, I'm not going to abandon rock & metal, this was just a silly experiment.

To download the background I used go to:

love it

im a rocker guy but i like jazz in moderation, and this sounded great. Also, whats that guitar you're using there?

[aalataur]

Thanks! The guitar is same as always, my trusty old Jackson TH-1. Actually tuned to D and very aggressive pickups, so not very suitable to this kind of music. I just happened to have it on my lap when I started to play around with this progression

I'm not too familiar with jazz, so I can't comment on how "jazzy" it was but I think it sounded great!

[aalataur]

Thanks mate! :D I don't even know if this has jazz influences.. or even if it's a jazz song or not :D

@GohModley Dio couldnt ever be dishonored by a Hancock tune ever haha

[Brian4hand]

As a jazz fan, this was definitely interesting to hear. I would also say its more heavier on the fusion side. which is cool.

[GohModley]

You dishonor Dio with this piece of fluff.

sounds very nice, love the song ^_^

Technically I suppose it's early Jazz fusion
