48's Challenge/ Wiley

Oh Boy this was probably another stupid moment. Let me look!  Yup I took a pill this morning.
I tried this about 5 times and said what the hell It's not getting any better.  I really lept out of my box. Me playing metal??  But it was good practice on the scales. LOL I will go back into hiding now!!

Where ya gonna hide? Back in the box?? Too late now ..... you started it anyway 

Like I said to StevieM, great job at transferring the blues stuff to a rock / metal setting. There were some nice licks in there, that you will be able to really rock out on in a very short time. I thought it was a good job, cudos for giving it a shot, and for doing way better than you seem to think you have!!

Oh yeah, don't hit the "blue" note too much on a rock track, stick to the other 5  ... minor pentatonic rather than blues scale.

You are so far out of your box you can harldy see it in the far distance! But I think you did really, really well here. The sound is good, it fits the backer well, there are some great bends in there (eg the ones at 1:34 and again at 1:58 are really nice) and you use the fretboard well to make up for the fact you aren't shredding all over the place (eg the way you go high and then come right down at 1:02). It's more melodic rock than real heavy metal but it works and you did a great job. Just the mere fact you are prepared to try this shows the growing confidence you have, and rightly so.

Don't be embarrassed, you (hammered it on and) pulled it off!

Cheers,

Nigel

Wow! That was pretty damn good. Nigel is right. You use the fretboard pretty well. Very melodic with some impressive bends thrown in here and there. Sounds like you are progressing pretty well. Can't wait to hear more.

Holy smokes!! And it's only been a couple months. I can only imagine what a year under your belt will do for you!

I think you did a great job. You're working the fretboard, doing your bends, etc. It only gets better from here!

Fantastic!!

[StevieM]

  Way to go PJ!!!!
4 1/2 minutes can suddenly seem a looooooong time, eh?
That's damn good, 'specially for a 'down home country gal'

[AndyR]

Flip!! 

Yeah, don't do yourself down - this is really good. I prefer melodic/bluesy type of leads over my metal/rock anyway.

I've downloaded the backer but haven't attempted it yet because, er, it's kinda out of my box too...

I assume you had the guitar slung real low and struck some good poses while you were doing it?! 

[Satchwood]

Wow PJ is rockin all out!!  What a guitar-playing LEAP!!
            luv the bends and the octave high playing - nicely done - makes the listen more interesting!!

[Wiley]

Thanks guys!!  Lots of mistakes, but what the heck! And Andy R If I can take a leap you can!!  Trust me I was very afraid. Long ways to jump down from the rim of the box. But like I said good practice and more fun to do than I thought.  But yup it is long.  Again thanks guys.
