http://www.facebook.com/people/Volker-Scheidt/1285297971 This video is about being creative. You see the result of a project " creative force" i started. The aim was to create on the spot a great melody while the camera was running... Most of the stuff is very simple so relax.

1. Laid back Latin jam with some Ace Freyley pentatonic licks.
Here i used the whammy pedal.

2. some cool legato sounds.
the sound is slighly reversed.

3. funky dorian rock jamming.

4. Here is a short example of the more fusion type of melodys i like.
When i was younger i composed on a sequencer and then tried to play that strange stuff.Frank Gambale you are the best!
Tons of fun.
5.In the dead of night from Allan Holdsworth
One of my all time favorite licks.

6.Love gun from Kiss.
Just something to relax.

7.here is a nice melody from steely dan.
just for a contrast.
8.some melodic improvising on my white Steve Vai "jem"
-first in the style of Tony Mcalpine
-then some rock "Blues"
very simple stuff

9.one again a nice little melody

10.a melody over a key changing chord progression.
Here i play a lot with the whammy bar

11.this melody i really love.It's played against a John Petrucci chord progression.once again very simple

12.some speedy metal jamming.
Normally when i pick up the guitar i sound like this ( check the mind boggeling hyperspeed guitar video)
"Salute to my beloved John petrucci guitar"




All those melodys created on the spot.
when i found a nice backing track ,i put on the camera and started working.
so: be creative and spontanous.
challenge yourself and keep it simple!!

good luck and all the best!
Volker

  • Hi Volker,

    deine Solosammlung ist wieder perfekt gelungen wie immer. Dein Sound ist Klasse! Mit welchem Preamp bzw. Verstärker recordest du? Oder sind die Distortions von nem Eventide?

    Bekommen wir deine Michael Angelo Batio Axt auch einmal zu hören, oder dient die nur zur Hintergrunddeko? :-P

  • Hi

    Vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar.

    Alle Sounds kommen vom Pod1.

    Ich habe alles einfach gehalten.. Wegen der Angelo Gitarre.

    Ich warte immer noch darauf das sie umgebaut wird...AHHH

    Bin leicht bis mittelschwer genervt.

    Aber egal

    Ich hoffe vor Weihnachten kann ich drauf spielen. gruss Volker

see all
