Blues

I've already received one good criticism on the tone here... I'd like some more please.... ?

Mannemarak

Well, let me put it this way...

You come home after a rough week or day and you close the curtains and pour yourself a drink. Then you
put this in the Hi-Fi and not too loudly just sit back and close your eyes...and listen.

really well done, I love blues. Keep it up ?

Really cool! Tonewise I would go with a bit more of a deeper tone like in the beginning, and when the backing track starts getting a bit rowdy crank just a 'tiny' bit of dirt / distortion to add some character ? Not much to criticize otherwise!

That was great Don, good feel, great tone, nice chilled out tune. I do agree with arthur, I would've added a little bit of gain half way through just to change the feel a bit and give it some punch and end with the calm and serene again. ?

I like your double stops, very good. I wonder if that backing track was self made? Nice blues, man!

Bob-Dubery

I liked the double stops too, and the tone you used allowed them to be heard very clearly. I thought the tone was good for the piece, because it allowed the playing to be appreciated.

Strat Blues in C#m. Hmmm.... has he been that mean to you?

killafo

Awesome tone man!!! ?. There's that one part you do around 1:20 something..... i think you might have over bended that note. I'm also on the "add more gain" band wagon. Also the pull offs you do, from what i've heard aren't being accentuated enough, but that might just be me and the way i like to do pull offs, :-/

Other than that i thought it was great, ?!!! nice job.

Hey Don, What scale are you using for this track?

DonovanB

I played around in C#m. I didn't stick with any mode in particular but played around the pentatonic shapes with a few extra notes slipped in.

btw I think this is horrible. I made this quite a while ago and my take is that I was terrible. considering now, I plan pieces a lot better and this was one take on the fly I could have done a lot better.
I am my biggest critic
