Just having fun! Canon Sweeps!

Eudaimonia overture(day 1)

I figured I could make the one week challenge a regular thing (I'm gonna try to anyways). I always lover Eudaimonia Overture by Paul Gilbert and particularly the last minute or so so I figured that would be what I'm gonna work on this week.
So, the final day of the one week guitar challenge is here and I'm still playing Jewel by Marty Friedman but it's getting better.
So here’s the full cover of take this life!! I finished up the song about 2 days ago but didn’t have time to make a vid and post it lol enjoy!!
Hace dos años saque este solo, espero que les guste!!!

Gypsy jazz etude In Am

This is one Robin Nolan Solo gypsy jazz etudes and I absolutely love it so I figured I'd learn it.
from just now I think it's blues/rock my words aren't so good, just thinking out loud

I'm still working on Jason Becker's solo in the intro of Jewel. I have most of it somewhat down at the moment but especially the diminished lick at the end needs some work still but I'll do that in the next couple of days. I also pressed record a little too soon so you get to look at my pretty little ass for a little bit 🤪🤪

Buried Alive

Few years ago, I tried to record Buried Alive. This is a "one-shot" recording" with my phone.... Sorry for mistakes !!
I figured I would dive in on Alicia's 1 week challenge, I chose this song partly because it's one of my favourites off The Blackening and was great fun in Rock Band (in all it's plastic glory), but primarily due to it being alternate picked with some string skipping (stuff that I would tend to down pick). Currently, it's as rough as hessian undies, but that's kinda the point of day 1. Hopefully I haven't bitten off more than I can chew!
Have been feeling really down and unmotivated, so I decided to learn a new song! I just started listening to in flames a few months ago and this is the song that got me into them! Enjoy!! Also I will most likely post a full cover once I’m done fully learning it
This is the first cover that I record with an audio interface. A good friend of mine helped me a lot telling me how to use it and he mixed my recording whith the song and I think that the result is pretty good
A cover I made from this cool song. I m using my line 6 Floor POD for distorsion
Alright so about f*cking time my semester ended xD It's like 10am here, I'll finally go to bed, but I really wanted to get this one week challenge started that I promised @[4668:@Alicia Willis] that I'll take part in. So here's day 1 of learning Dear God's main riff! I just tried to get in the chords real quick and hopefully, the notes are alright. See you in a week.
I can’t give you anything but love - Etude
Posted this twice because I figured it fits in both tutorials and jazz. Here’s an etude I wrote over one chorus of an old standard. The goal of this etude was to try to write lines that were breaking out of the fretboard shapes I felt too stuck in, to focus on triplets, focus on altered lines/tritone substitutions, and to try get any bebopish phrasing that I hopefully may have absorbed from listening to Charlie Parker that month. There’s a video of Syn improvising over the same standard on Instagram. Here’s the tab. Follow me on Instagram too! https://www.soundslice.com/slices/SdgVc/?from=search

It took me a while to make this video,but here it is. I finally know the arpeggios within every position of the major scale but I still have a lot to learn and practice about arpeggios
I wanted to out it on instagram but than me overbending the half step bend made me cry a little inside(just kidding I was sobbing in a corner actually 🤪). Effectively for the one week challenge I figured I could finally dive into some of the neo-classical stuff I love but never play and Marty Frietman and Jason Becker in particular. For this week I decided to do Jason Becker's solo at the beginning of Jewel by Marty Friedman.
I was so excited about this that I had to share it separately! You guys know I struggle most with timing and rhythm. Here you see me literally picking up my guitar for the first time that day. No edit whatsoever, just the raw take of me recording to a metronome and backing track in Reaper!
Another year, another take! Really happy with my tone here, although some notes are still not the cleanest. Thanks to @[13676:@Radu-Cristian Perde] for helping me with the string section! Fun Fact: My 2019 version was released exactly on this day last year :D
Covering one of my favorite metal songs🔥 I love it🤟🏼🎸
