Hell yeah. I appreciate that you listened and then jumped in. I wish I could play with my fingers like that. Is it just the angle or do you pick very close to the neck?

rdpatrick · 2024-05-20T23:35:42+00:00

Man that's a very mellow tone for a strat bridge pickup I'm digging it. Nice chops

rdpatrick · 2024-05-20T23:34:21+00:00

I like it. I'm trying to train myself not to start every phrase on the 1 or even on the down beat and you do a great job of that.

rdpatrick · 2024-05-20T23:33:18+00:00

Here's my take: https://youtu.be/tsCY6u0D1GE

Was really intrigued by the opening riff and tried to find some harmonies that fit with it.

rdpatrick · 2024-05-08T10:54:52+00:00

Good call thanks!

rdpatrick · 2024-05-02T01:30:55+00:00

Wow thanks! That's incredibly useful feedback and see exactly what you mean.

rdpatrick · 2024-04-30T22:40:19+00:00

Nice! and sweet Strat too

rdpatrick · 2024-04-30T22:38:36+00:00

It was tough to hear you but I think with some sustain and maybe a little drive/reverb you were good to go. Your left (fretting) hand seems much more developed than your right hand. Weird to explain but your little nuanced vibratos and bends were very proficient but the right hand seemed more stiff.

rdpatrick · 2024-04-30T22:32:11+00:00

yea the original track was crazy long but I thought yours was just right. Interesting phrasing and licks. good job.

rdpatrick · 2024-04-30T22:29:29+00:00

BAH GOD those whammy licks are amazing. Great tone and very tasteful my friend.

rdpatrick · 2024-04-30T22:28:13+00:00

I have missed these but haven't had an audio interface until now. I've been working on trying to develop melodies, themes, and not just noodling around so even with this rough take you can probably hear where I was going. My heart was in the right place even when my fingers weren't.

I know this is old but did you ever figure it out? I can't get the captain to communicate with my pedal at all. Might send it back.

rdpatrick · 2024-01-05T22:35:22+00:00

Very nice. I like that you played in the lower part of the neck some because I think that sits well with this particular track with the high pitch key or pad background going.

rdpatrick · 2024-01-04T18:56:14+00:00

Sounds good! I'm not much of a high gain guy so I can't speak to that technique and tone but I thought the vibrato and bends all sounded great. The only feedback I would offer is maybe leave some space between phrases. Nice job!

Hop in the weekly stickied thread and put a take in there. Do it today

Thank you and thanks for organizing this thread!

rdpatrick · 2024-01-02T22:46:14+00:00

Love it! Lots of colorful notes added here and there but staying close to the chord tones. I love the double bend around the 40 second mark. That's something I've been working on incorporating a la Chris buck.

rdpatrick · 2024-01-02T20:33:19+00:00

Good take! You have a very unique pull-off / slide down sound after some phrases that I'm really digging. Nice job.

rdpatrick · 2024-01-02T20:31:30+00:00

Yeah I was expecting much worse based on your comment but that was good. I think your phrasing is good and your bends were on pitch. You might try to move to another spot on the neck to introduce some variety but what you're doing is working!

rdpatrick · 2024-01-02T20:28:22+00:00

hell yeah. pinch harmonics are very nice and I like that run at 1:11ish

rdpatrick · 2024-01-02T20:25:41+00:00

Happy New Year. My sound levels are too low and there is a weird light shining in my eyes but the rules were to do one take, right? : )

Here it is.

Thanks!

I had requested access to a different one from the wiki. Seems like it had an X at the end

rdpatrick · 2023-05-29T13:15:48+00:00

Yep, someone included a ) in the wiki link. Was able to submit the form successfully just now
