nice site and forums Mark..

R. Chapman said:Alright...
I took another shot...and this time I TRIED to play outside my comfort zone of the Blues/Pentatonic boxes. As you'll hear I fell right back into them. Cliched fast lick near the end and all.
I'm finding playing to this backing track very useful in that I'm forcing myself to try different things. I guess I really need to listen to something besides classic rock to help get it into my head.
Mark, I'm a huge Zeppelin fan (I guess most are..) Didn't Page play alot of things out of the ordinary as far as scales?? I love his playing...Bluesy...but always something different too.. Anyway..here's my other track.. I'm going about this now as an educational thing. Also, ignore the flub near the 24 second mark...Whoops!!! :P

I really like Randy's take on it, quite different to mine I think...good to see the different approaches that can be taken to this type of chord change..
Excellent site, keep up the good work!

This one was definitely better than your first one - had more attitude I liked the tone better too. The little burst at around the 26 second mark was fantastic.

Again, definitely better than your first one. Infact, this is my fav of the 4 takes you 2 guys have posted so far It has a bit of everything - whammy bar, octaves, nice melodic phrasing. Tone is outstanding too. Love it!

Really dug your bends, the way you get to pitch them come down and back up again Nice tone too. All around, a very strong take.
