Marv's BGU Labs Submission #1

[Marv]

Here's the track I submitted to Griff for feedback.

First 12 bars: the basic vocal melody to She Wants to Sell My Monkey
Second 12 bars: a solo I usually play in Em transposed to Gm.

Challenge 1

Sounds good

I liked the double stops.
So why does she want to sell your monkey anyway?

 

[Dr. Ron]

Nice playing Marv!

I sure don't know:

"It used to be hers, but she gave it to me, now she wants to sell it, I just can't see..."

Nice and smooth Marv! What is the reason for describing the two parts of your solo? I notice Mike described his solo the same way.

See you down the road!

Nice Marv!. I like the 12 bars of melody leading into your solo idea.

Thanks!

The lab assignment was pretty flexible. We could take a solo we already knew and transpose to the key of the backing track. We could take licks from one or more existing solos and rearrange them. Or we could completely wing it. I did a kind of a hybrid of the first and the last.

Griff asked us to explain how we got what we got, so I just pointed it out here too.

 

[Paul B]

Nice job!

 

[Thatman]

Well done Marv, I like the way the mix you selected worked well together and it was a good listen too.

 

[PapaBear]

Sounding good Marv

 

[CaptainMoto]

Tasty.
Kept my interest.

Like it Marv, although I would have liked the volume on your guitar up a bit. Well played.
