Jeff's solo #3 - first take

[Lefty Jeff]

I've been working on this one for a couple months off and on.  It's not perfect by any stretch, in fact it's pretty crummy, but it's up to speed and I'm keeping up, so I'm happy about that.

I plan to post another version very soon, once I hammer out the kinks.  This is the hardest solo I've done yet, but it's pretty awesome and I'm learning a LOT from it.  I want to nail this one at some point.

So . . . comments, criticism, money . . . thanks for listening!

That one's a tough one. Nice job overall. Sure there are a few little flubbed notes, but you can tell the work that you've put in.

 

[Steve G]

Yeah, very respectable first recording of a challenging solo.  Nice job!

Jeff,

Nice job on that one.  I never got that one up to full speed, and then was put to shame by Davy over it.  Just haven't found the heart to get back after it.  It's a tough piece, allright.  You're makin' good progress!  Keep it up.  That one deserves a virtual six pack!

Good job on this one Jeff. It's always nice to hear someone's progress. Nice tone too!

Hey Bruce. I hope I haven't put you off doing solo3 for ever.   I was trying to encourage you...., honest.  Please don't hate me.

A great first take. You're way ahead of me! I'm not sure my brain can hold that many notes in a row...

Davy,

No hatred at all, bro.  Just kiddin' around and makin' excuses!  You've still got nothing but my deepest admiration. [smiley=beer.gif]

I know bro.


I still want to hear solo3 before too much longer.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone.  It's funny.  Some days, I can play this solo fairly well, then the next day my fingers go all over the place and I fumble everywhere. 

The hardest part of this solo for me is triplet 5th fret on the 1st and 2nd strings in bar 4, and the 5-5-8 in bar 6.  I just have a brain cramp and can't hit that smoothly. 

I find it much easier to play different frets than the same fret in quick succession, if that makes any sense.

Hey!  I thought I had the market cornered in that regard.   

Seriously, it's definitely strange how the fingers just have their off-days.

Nice job!

That's great work Jeff, timing is pretty well there, those little stumbling areas will be tidied up soon for sure.  Just go back and slow them down with many accurate repertitions and you will get it at speed.  Thanks for posting
