It won't play for me Julian. The others did. The gtapril one just sits there. :confused:

Nevermind. :o That was pretty sick there Julian. This one must be giving people fits. I should try to do something once I'm finished with this other stuff I'm working on.

Ok here is some info for the track:

It is in C# minor throughout. The main riff goes:

C#5 C#5/A B5 B5/A#

The C# minor Aeolian can be played over the first three chords, but on the B5/A# the A# note clashes with the aeolian scale so the C# Dorian scale should be used. It's just one note different.

Wow. Juilian you rock. Now I don't wanna submit mine :P But, for future reference, would anyone mind telling me how I can change the hyperlink text to my username?

Sure, in the reply to post box there are some icons on the top. You wanna click the icon with the Globe and chain link. After that you may get a yellow bar at the top of internet Explorer aking if you want to allow scripted windows. Go ahead it's not a big deal. Then you'll get a box asking what you want the text for the link toi be. Here you put your username. Then, hit ok and it'll ask for the link itself. That'll do it. :)

Bah... Julian, Equator... :eek:

But I'm not being put off. Someone's got to get the shortest line in the vote! :o
and this should do it no problem! An awful rough take. I tell myself it's the taking part that counts!

equator: Nice take man. Strange but cool effect about the 1 min. mark. Nice picture too! :D

WrigglerUk: I thought that was pretty good man.

I give all you guys credit. I looked at this track a few times this month and got nothin. :(

Thanks. Yeah, the effect is a little strange; it is Flanger added some Phaser set to 2 stages, it kind of makes the signal go from one speaker to the other. And yes, Jennifer Lopez is hot. :eek:

Julian. Awesome take as usual.

WrigglerUk. Not bad of a take, the bends sounded a little off though; other than that, it’s a fine take.

Thanks guys... yeah, the bends were uncontrolled. I was trying to play faster than I normally do and think at the same time....

equator - I really liked the 'hook' you used to hold the piece together. And the tone was cool!

Ya...I like jamming on this track with the C# Dorian on the half time part, then on the fast part I use Aeolian, and even phrygian. I tried out lydian (F aeolian) and its got a wierd tone to it. It sounds exotic, but make sure to hit the C# time and again to make it sound right. And don't use F aeolian long. Just for little licks!! :D

The thing is, i would lay my track down if my Zoom G2.1u pedal would come back in the mail from the repair place in New york so I can record again!!! ERRRRRR :mad:

didnt spend more than an hour or so on the entire thing, and frankly i was exhausted from practicing all day. my fingers where a bit on the de-cline unfortunately.

Hey, this is GUITARtricks not glockenspiel and violin tricks :D

Very nice take. Lots of interesting stuff going on. Fingers sounded OK to me!
And I like the backdrop on your myspace. No bonus points for that though! :)

hahaha, yea, -10 points for the glockenspiel-ish thing in the beginning.

its just that...well, this kind of stuff shows the worst side of my playing, honestly. it makes me sound like kirk hammett or something. i can never get into any kind of melodic organization with a bt like this. it just turns into me playing ****ty pentatonic runs that sound exactly the same after 20 seconds.
