Ninj - First cab off the rank, and it's damn good! Beautiful tone as always, and your playing had an awesome Santana feel on this track. Liked the main motif a lot.

Nick - Again, great! Very tasteful, atmospheric playing, you wove your lead in with the backing track really well.

It's been some time since I've contributed anything to the Solo Assignment thread - and perhaps that's for the best :o. But I've got a solo here (in bad sound quality, again), and if you think it's worth it, I'll see what I can do about recording it properly.

Aside from the poor sound quality, that was awesome jiujitsu. Seriously. I like your style. Jived very well with the backing and I liked the trem effect you gave it in the beginning. I believe you should participate in this more often. :)
Let your soul shine. Its better than sunshine. Its better than moonshine. Damn sure better than rain.

z0s0_jp: Sounds pretty cool....and you're right it's harder than you would think.

jiujitsu_jesus: Great take I can hear everything but your recording sounds like the mic was under a pillow. How are you recording maybe someone could help make the recording better.

marcos!!! that track is dripping with Gibson tone!!!! great job!! the only thing is the backing track sounds a little more "hi-fi" than your guitar....but other than that is was very good.


Nick-good job on that...nice touches ...good fills..nice tone.


Ben-man I wish you could record better!! that sounded groovin'....did I hear a sweep in there??? man you are gettin' better! nice chops in there.

Zoso - Great solo! Really lyrical and rhythmic at the same time. And was that recorded on the Washburn? If so, I had no idea EMGs could produce such an earthy sound.

Keep 'em coming, everybody.

could somebody post the backing track onto a soundclick or something for me? for some reason my computer won't let me download from the attachment, and this isn't the first time it's done this to me. it's happened with previous backing tracks...

Where the hell you been man? I'll see what I can do.

I updated my track a bit. Most of it's the same but there is a little difference. I just wish I could get to sound as good through my speakers as through my headphones.

marcos...the backing track is a tad louder ...can you adjust your levels?? just a little more guitar volume will get it.. sounds good though.
