New Improv *Constructive Criticisms Please*

Hey everyone,

I have just finished my latest premeditated Improv in E minor that I call "Opportunity." It is instrumental, however most of the music I compose is not. Any comments or criticisms would be appreciated. Thanks!

Shameless bump...


Anyone?

Excellent improv. Good timing too.

O.K. first of all I think it sounded great. But if you want my opinoin (remember you asked for constructive critisism)
I think you sound like a product of scales. I think you could get a better felling from your blues if you cocentrated more on a single note than a bunch of cotinious notes it starts to sound very repaticious. Dont get me wrong it does sound good. I think people just always seem to over play.

I thought it sounded awesome!!!

I really didn't like the first half of the song. I couldn't really hear the lead very well. It got better in the middle, I don't know if you were tremolo picking or sweeping there but it was pretty good not as sloppy as I sweep anyway :D . The tapping sounded off to me but the melody was ok. Keep it up not bad overall.

WE are our own hardest critic > If we like what we are playing then it's good, because we can also be our best critic. :)

Thanks for all the replies guys/gals. I am taking the constructive criticisms into mind and I will see where I can improve my flaws. Thanks again.

Peace.

I'm always interested to see how shred-blues combos turn out, and I'm pleased to say that this one turned out really well! :cool: . Your choice of rhythm track was interesting and challenging; your technical abilities are extremely impressive. My only issue was with the timing - well, not so much the timing, as the overall interplay between the lead and the rhythm. I thought that you got a little bit carried away with scalar runs at times; the parts of the song I enjoyed most were the sections where you used the lead to complement the rhythm, around the one-minute mark for example (um... I think it was the one-minute mark, anyway.... :o )
Overall, that was very good. Keep up the good work!
