Slow Blues In B - Impro by Me

This is another blues impro I have done, again I tried to use some outside notes to make it sound more interesting but I think I went outside to the point of the notes not really sounding good at all hahaha but I am trying haha! any feedback would be cool!

Too many half steps dude, pentatonics are wide open and when we listen to the blues that's sort of what the ear expects not modes full of half steps. Sustain something man, I expect the slow blues sustained and drenched with vibrato... I unfortunately thumbsed down

[Gu1tar]

fuck man that sucked.. take out the awful distortion and try to make some phrases when you play

[oneinthestink]

that was pretty bad dude.

Phrasing is the biggest issue here. I don't think a single phrase started or ended on a downbeat, and there was a period of about a minute from 2:00ish to 3:00ish where there wasn't a single pause. Also, staccato is good for emphasis, but when 60% of the notes you play are accented or staccato, it just sounds violent and weird.

As for note choice.. I heard some diminished, phrygian, dorian, mixo, major, h.m... chill out man. No need to use every scale in every song. Listen and play tastefully.

It depends on what your going for, if you want to play "blues." Than I think your a little too busy, too many notes. Like another poster said I would stick to like pentatonic/blues scale, but mix it up with dominant arppegios for a slow blues. For me, your tone is too distored for blues, but I have no idea, that may be what you want. I only posted cuz u asked for feedback. With blues it's realy about soul, chops are useful, but not the paramount issue.

for that blues use mixolydian not dorian use dorian over minor it sounds sick like that

I liked it. Going outside the pentatonic didn't sound bad, it just sounded more metal or something. Heh.
