You should put up a video man. I'd love to hear you play. I've been toying with the idea of putting up Serranna ( I haven't learned the diminished run close to the end yet, but use the tune as a sweeping exercise ) and a couple Tony MacAlpine vids before working on my own stuff again.

Becker and Friedman are probably my favorite guitar duo, and I'm a huge fan of their playing, both together, and separately. Marty Bagman's Scenes is an absolutely awesome cd without tons of shredding. Though I do prefer Jason's soloing over Marty's, I like Marty's songwriting more.
Title: Re: just learned a cool solo- anyone jam?
Post by: dyslexic on March 16, 2010, 02:20:56 PM
Yeah, it's me...


My Friedman stuff is on my channel, but I only spent a few minutes learning it. I think I did "Lucretia" and "Tornado of Souls"... I ain't proud of it, so I ain't postin' it. I'm cool with the Dire Straits Sultans solo though. I only practiced finger picking for that solo and I'm sure I can't do it worth a crap anymore. You gotta stay up on it if you want to be fluent.

I was actually trying to show that a $99.00 Strat could still sound worth a shit...

I've been working more on speed and picking technique than anything lately.  Been listening to a lot of tech death metal stuff again.

I know it's done on a musical instrument, and there are notes and scales and shit....but it's more like a display of manual dexterity.

This is why I never like shredding. It's all skill and no feeling: glorified typing.

Now, here's a skilled musician playing great music. Jimmy Page ripped this off and put it on Led Zep I as Black Mountainside.

I like shredding, when it's done with style and musicality (is that a word?) Ty Tabor of king's X can shred like a mofo...but it sounds cool and is interesting to listen to....it's not just "look at how technical i am ".

You listen to his solos and you know it's him...he has a distinct voice. these guys all sound the same "widdlywiddlywiddlywiddly widdlywiddlywiddlywiddly waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh"..12 times in a row.

I am sure if you are a musician you see it in a whole different light because it is so hard to do...and i do respect the talent...just not my bag

Yeah I dig the technical stuff myself because that's how I like to play, BUT, it should still be musical imo. Not just wanking for the sake of wanking. Tony MacAlpine is great at writing catchy songs with awesome playing. Ty Tabor and Vernon Reid were big influences of mine around the early 90's. Haven't listened to much of either lately though.

Paul G ain't Buckethead either.  ;D

You can watch any of Steve Vai's last 3 live DVD's and see Tony. He is a member of the band. He also plays with Vai on the Eric Clapton Crossroads double live DVD.

Fast forward to the 3 minute mark.

Him and George Lynch do a trade off in the actual solo section.

Tony plays a lot of jazz as well. He's also a very accomplished pianist and tours with several other artists such as Steve Vai performing both keyboard and/or guitar duties.

Well, you know I am a Vai fan... his Astoria DVD has Tony all through it. I don't care much for his guitars or his style... he reminds me of Satch a bit... who I don't really dig either. Oh well, each to his own. As a matter of fact, Vai's new stuff kind of sux too. He's either hittin to much of the pipe or droppin too much of the window pane... not sure. Trippy dude these days.

even tho improvisation is very important in certain types of music. I believe many things hold more weight. Song writers really don't need to improvise. 

That's like saying freestyle rap is better then written rap. 2Pac one of the greatest rappers in the world and he couldn't freestyle out of a paper bag.
