Many of us will miss you. I appreciate your respect for "traditional" jazz guitar and your affirmation of modern styles as well. I also respect knowledge and capability, and you have both. Originally Posted by kris

Don't stay away too long!

Spandex for me, John. Anything but a room :-) Originally Posted by John A.

2nd the good job, Ron. Lines sound nice and nimble.

Overall sounds really good. At certain points you are swinging really hard—I couldn't hear any drums at all, but I was bopping my head through the whole thing, so in my opinion, your swing feel is one of your strengths. Oddly, perhaps, time is also where it sounded like there's room for improvement—this is just nitpicking on my part because you asked for advice—when you're swinging, it sounds great, but perhaps you need to work a bit at making it more consistent. I'd say 80% of the time you were really solid and grooving, with just a few noticeable time slip-ups here and there. Nice work—the tone is fantastic, too, by the way. Originally Posted by Clint 55

Thanks for the compliments. This is my new beastly rig that I got in March and I like it. About the criticism, that's what I make of it as well. I generally want to improve my right hand lines, but that can come with time. Room for improvement now would be to get all the rhythms solid without hiccups. I'll practice solo and think it sounds ok, then think I should really be practicing in time to a drum track. So I put on the drum track and I think hey, I'm groovin pretty well. But then when it comes time to get in the mix and put on the headphones to record, I'm like oh dear God lol. Something about being in the mix just reveals everything about the shoddy rhythms. Maybe I should practice recording more often to make sure the time is where it should be. Thx for the feedback.

Yes to both. Very nice! Originally Posted by wzpgsr

Hahaha! You thought it was a guitar lol!
Also a good suggestion, thx. I usually go hog wild with the expression pedal when I'm practicing. It's a little more work to set all the levels right while recording and get the quiet to not be too quiet and get the ramped up parts to not clip, but if that's what the listeners want, then that's what I'll work on!

Obviously this one is not as easy as I thought it would be - at least not for me. The fact that there are different versions of the chord progression around and the changes of the backing tracks on YT do differ as well is throwing me a couple of curve balls so apologies that I haven't posted anything yet.

Giving it another go:
Getting loose 'n dirty on a beat-up strat.Last edited by dogletnoir; 10-24-2021 at 06:04 PM.

All right then, I've played this a lot for a long time (maybe not since the late '70s, but it feels like it's been that long). Don't tell me you're all holding back your versions in anticipation of my shame-inducing greatness ... but just because I've been playing it for decades doesn't mean I've been playing it well
Now, off to listen to you guys ...

Nice Ronstuff and kudos to John A both for playing and general attitude. Intelligent dude, I would say.

Great take. Looked like you were having a lot of fun with it. Lots of nice bebop lines at what is to me an impressive tempo. Originally Posted by John A.

Doesn't sound like a Strat at all. Originally Posted by dogletnoir

The strat sounds wonderful! If that comes from it being "beat up" I'd say keep beating it up. The solo has really nice phrases over the changes. I'm not the best person to offer this particular critique since I'm struggling myself, but I didn't sense a "shape" for the solo, the since of it moving via rising tensions and resolutions to a climax. This is the very thing I have trouble doing as well, but unlike me, you actually have the vocabulary and phrases to put together a coherent and exciting statement. Originally Posted by dogletnoir

That was really fun to listen to. Nailed it. The way I want to play when I grow up. Originally Posted by John A.

Here’s a long take with few ideas. I’d stop listen after a chorus or two if I were you.
