this could be fun. everybody add a little to the previous riff. throw in a solo or what not but make it flow. nothing to complicated to start with. after a few pages i will edit it all together on one post. then we can learn it and record it on youtube see how each of us plays it differently. i was playing this first one with heavy distortion and palm muting but it sounds ok acoustically as well. howevere you want to play it.

Well.. First of all it atleast has to be heard.. I have no idea the melody or anything..

if you play it you will hear it. there is no melody yet. that's why we have to add to it. right now it's just a few random notes.

Well you say it sounded cool so theres obviously an idea behind it lol..

i went ahead and went at it alone. i took the first little riff i wrote and started there. repeated it a few times then found a groove and let it roll out. i messed up a few times but this is all freestyle so .......... YouTube - dund, dund, dund ......

[AchillesLast]

haha naw Im fucking stuck at work right now and I got off late last night so I haven't had time to get something down. Especially if I want to add to yours. Im going to need to sit down with a bowl and play something fierce.

you can go anywhere you want with it. i couldn't repeat what i did in the video. not note for note. that first little riff is cool though. i' still messing with it. different pedal action and what not.

Hey Fdd, took inspiration from that riff of yours today and used it as the foundation for a little jam I threw together in Ableton Live.

Riff Two

I put together a simple drum loop and I recorded the riff in standard and lowered the pitch to sub-octave levels so it has a nice bass feel. Then I recorded the reverse volume swell in the beginning, and just improvised a little solo over top.

Intro (volume swell)

etc.

very nice. i suck. i gotta long way to go. i like the way you played with the loop though. i'll need to try that. i usually play with no backup so it sounds nowhere near as good.

I worked at pirating a copy of Ableton Live 5. Wicked software I highly recommend it. I have them all: Guitar Tracks Pro, Reason, etc. but I prefer Live.

Just practise and challenge yourself. I can't stress that enough. Most people play for years and never develop because they never practise and they play the same music, the same types of songs. One of my fellow teachers has been playing for thirteen years and plays the way I did in my first six months.

Pick the hardest and coolest songs to learn, something that will make you want to spend hours trying to perfect it. When I started I chose the 10 greatest guitar solos of all time, and worked at them one by one.
