Solo challenge?

[Lindsey]

Would a solo challenge be a fun idea? Or a lead guitar challenge?

If you state the leven you're on, with a song you can play as example maybe we can give eachother doable challenges.

Yeah sure!

I kinda want to get the first 7 minutes of exist done before the Christmas break but this sounds pretty cool!

I'm glad you're in for it!

 

[Ekrem Taha Ünlü]

Yeah !

 

[Ezequiel Romanko]

Yeah im in!

 

[Dominik Gräber]

Cool Idea but I'll Pass. Don't really feel ready for it now

 

[Rute Rodrigues]

Yeah like the riff challenge, but with lead. I'm in!

A few people is enough to get this started.
Who's first? I don't know that many songs to suggest.

I'm down but ideally isnt this the improv challenge too? Improv is all about solo writing. So let me ask you this instead. Would you rather make it up on the spot.. or have a challenge where you plan out the solo? I don't think we need both challenges. So let's instead just see what everyone wants to do and do that. Having both just seems silly to me.

Also there's no rule in saying you cant improv the solo here anyways. I'm down for doing both too just seems one is gonna get phased out anyways cause no one is gonna wanna do both unless they have all the time to.

The improv challenge is improvising over a backingtrack. This is the same as the riff challenge so you actually have to learn to solo note for note instead of Improvising

Are you making up the solo are playing someone elses? Cause if your writing it then everyone is gonna spend their time writing the solo is what I'm saying. If you're playing someone elses solo then I would rather pass.

The idea is that you learn a solo from an artist and someone else challenges you to learn that particular solo. There's no writing involved whatsoever(just learning and studying it)

I can give you one if you want

 

[Calvin Phillips]

Yeah I misread the post then. That's something I'm not too interested in right now.

I'm trying to learn Bad religion - 21st century digital boy. Guess I gave myself a challenge.

I'm still working on my riff challenges, Exist and still have to do my contribution to that video for Syn and PG but does anyone want a solo?

Since you already know the riff, mummy dust by ghost

Do you mean the part starting at 2 minutes? I've done the rest of the song with the riff challenge.
I can't get the same sound, it's listed as keyboard, or play the original speed but I can give it a try.

Oops I'm more familiar with this version and there it sounds more like a guitar with a wah-wah pedal
You can also try the solo in L.A. connection by Rainbow if you want
