Riffs

Seize the Day solo

Practice... pay no mind to the loud AC Getting there...
Update: a little more practice with the Crazy Train solo. 2nd video. Getting better but still having some trouble, especially with the ascending riff at the end. Odd angle for my hands to get there in time.
I thought I'll take @[3987:@Dominik Gräber] 's suggestion and go back to this first section. Started slow, fixed some bends and vibratos! feels smoother to me from the first video =) Let me know what you think!

Some Queen Solo's

Sometimes good to take a break from the frustration of attempting Syn solos and just have some fun.
Alright so here is my progress on this solo till now (my fever is finally gone :))). I feel really saturated as I've been doing this for hours now and can't really tell the difference in tempo anymore (sorry xD) I'm sure it's off at places, (it was okay a few hours ago, should've recorded then). As of now, I 'sorta know' the notes and am playing at 115BPM (the song is 138). Let me know what you think!
I’ve gotten to where I don’t like to post a lot due to my social anxiety, but my wife @[4668:@Alicia Willis] insisted, so here is my rough attempt at the Crazy Train solo.
day 1 of learning this solo, will keep posting the progress =) they are both first takes and def have mistakes, criticism is welcome! (hi pls help) Also, I use my phone as a metronome but since I was recording with that, it isn't in the vid xD

Dear God

Rough, condensed cover of Dear God (Standard Tuning)
After Jak suggested to me that I should work on my vibrato...I worked on it!

BURN: Three days grace

This is my cover of the song Burn by 3 days grace.
Melodic Improvising with the whammy
This is a short impro I did A while ago. I'm in love with the sound of this reverb
I was so confused by what @firsty lasty said to another student but I asked Bill for help and he clarified it for me and showed me what it means. This was so fucking cool! Let me know if I messed anything up!
rough stab at one of my favorite songs, with a little extra tacked on
Aaand third video for today lol. Listening to @[22747:@Chris Johnston] advice and focusing on a fluid sweep motion. It's not like I picked the notes before, but my pick got stuck between the strings so it seemed more picked than sweeped. So working on that. Still not perfect but it's just a lot to pay attention to at the time. I'll keep working on it.
Just having a bit of a fun jam warming up. It might be pretty boring to watch but I thought I'd share it anyway.
