Hey guys, this is gonna be my first electric guitar recording sent. Its somewhat sloppy cause it was only the 2nd take and got lazy. Anyway here it is:

A Little Flow

I really liked the feel of the harmonic minor and the liquidy legato. (not a fan of my tone though) Anyway tell me what you think. Dont be afraid to say its sucks... :)

The backing track is in E minor if any of you guys want to record and post:

yea I had a really crappy recording device...computer mic :( I havent really looked into any special recording software but I guess I should. I tired for for a long time to get my tone barable in the mic and it somewhat seems to give goosebumps with the high pitch vibratos.

Thanks alot though :)

alrite I understand, but just to let you know, I didnt write it. I just played on take and just fiddled around. Even though it is sloppy at some parts, it one factor is the recording quality and my recording wasnt rehersed or even planned out.

The way you said it really pissed me off cause it was just obnoxious and such a negative statement, a put down more than criticism. Yes I did say "tell me if I suck" and I expected some tips to go with that, but with aparently I take that statement back now...

I just wanted to show you guys a little freestyle I didnt impromtu. It wasnt a compostion. But actually you know what, since what you said, Im gonna sit down and actually write somthing. Ill take what you said in a positive way, even though you can across insultive.

OH, BTW nice work

With the echoes from the amplifiers

Of course I can take positive or negative (look above). I just reacted different for you cause it was just blatently said and you said it as if you were out to get someone (as if you were dispised someone and this was your way of getting them back). Its as if someone just went to a concert and said the artist sucked and then left. It was something I didnt really see coming and alot of things you said were totally contrary to what I thought when I first recorded it. So I can take a opinon positive or negative ( dont even know why you said positive) but of course, if someone just says they thought it was horrible without propper explanation, its gonna get anyone a little fired up ( including you) Imagine if someone said that to you on your first recording when you thought it was pretty good to start off with.

Now I dont wish to contine this issue, but I just posted to say that i CAN take opinion, just not when their percieved to be intentially harmfull.

No fighting!!! Alucard You can really tell you didn't put alot of thought into it. I would like to hear what you got when you give it some time. 3rd Degree put some thought into what you say and how people might react.

Note the difference in the tone of what I wrote and what you wrote can you see the difference? I would take offense to "mindless wankery".

I thought your playing was quite good. Not bad at all for being completely improvised. I agree that it could have been a tad slower and more melodic to fit with the backing track better, but either way, you did a great job.

anyway...

Im in the middle of recording a real solo over the same BT, and hopefull will post it by tommrow. Hopefully better. Thanks PRS playa, I know your recording tycoon so your complement mean alot.

Yea, I know if someone says your playing is pointless and wankery, I dont (and prolly anyone else on the forum) take it as criticism, but just a flame (3rd degree burn..lol pun :D ). But anyway, the argument is done, so lets forget it. Im not angery anymore, handshake?

You are too confrontational man. Ponyone never sent you a PM about some other comments you made? A simple sorry for upsetting you would have sufficed.
