Since hearing this mammoth riff, I've always wanted to try and recreate it on my Helix - here's where I'm at so far (much to the chigrin of my neighbours 😂) Enjoy!
So I've been chipping away at the Afterlife Solo recently - here is my latest attempt! (Ps, apologies - this was filmed on a potato with a quiet amp sound, so the Solo is best heard through headphones with a good bass balance) Enjoy!
Here's another old video of some moving Major 7 ideas

Wonky Dorian Vibes

Here's an Old video from lockdown of me jamming some Dorian/Outside stuff. Enjoy!

I decided to film myself messing around over Autumn Leaves between Lessons. Enjoy!
Here's another Tiktok. This is my take on what I think the Sweet Child O Mine Riff would sound like if Red Hot Chilli Peppers had written it 🤟
Here's a short tiktok I did. It's my take on if Foo Fighters had written the Enter Sandman Riff 😊 enjoy!

2-5-1 Messaround

Was prepping for some Lessons today and decided to work on some 2-5-1 ideas on a tiny spanish guitar with high action. Here's a short snippet of the nonsense that ensued 😁
This is my band 'Chris Greig & The Merchants' new single 'Wish You Were Here' It was written when we were all feeling lonely during Lockdown. Enjoy!
My band dropped a brand new single today! Here's the Music Video, hope you enjoy!

Helix Test

So recently I bit the bullet and purchased a Line 6 Helix - here's a test recording/improvisation using one of the presets I made :D Enjoy

Jazzy Kitchen Licks

Just me playing some Jazzy Licks in my Kitchen

Wonky idea

Stacking some pretty chords over a wonky groove via my loopstation.

Weird Vibes

I got a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 for my Birthday and I've been messing around with recording big vocal harmonies & harmonized Guitar parts. Here's the results of me messing around for a while with it! (Best enjoyed through headphones)
This is an in-depth lesson on how to find & remember all of the notes on your Guitar - the easiest way! The lesson also shows you how to apply the knowledge to Jam in any key. Enjoy!

SPARKLY NOODLE

This is me noodling with a Sparkly effect on my guitar - I've been experimenting with playing some soulful outside stuff and having the time sort of warped/Rubato. Tried to make my Guitar sound less like a Guitar too, enjoy!
Here's a useful tip for getting your Pentatonic Scale all over the neck with the least effort!
This is a short idea I had while stacking Major/Major6/Major7 & Minor7 chords in a Quintuplet feel, enjoy!
I uploaded this when I first joined the site, and it got taken down after the refurb - So I thought I'd stick it back up 😊 It's basically some midi keyboard ramblings over an idea for an American Space Movie type Theme 🌍🇱🇷 ⭐ enjoy!
One of Syn's really useful tips in Lesson 37 was to commit as much of the Circle of Fifths to memory as possible - something I had put off doing for a while before joining the school. So I decided to memorize it properly and see if I could write a short instrumental cycling through all 12 keys in Lydian - which gives it this weird wonky feel - I put a creative twist in this one and got my foot involved too. Definitely had too much fun making this :D enjoy!
This is a short fingerstyle version of one of my favorite Pinkly Smooth songs. I performed it on my slightly out of tune and badly needing re-strung acoustic to give it a creepy edge, and I made it my own at the end...enjoy!
