Yes...
Actually forget about the beat partlar... with a metronome it's all the same, tick-tick-tick-tick etc...
You can play one note per click, quavers (2 notes per click), semi-quavers (4 notes), triplets (3) or hell 16th notes etc...
Of course if you're lazy to write, you can always get some lessons from MySongBook.

z3r0l33t, join lar! But gotta wait for Pix's reply first, he might have recorded his already.

hey dude, this is nice....did u do the backing track urself? ..... can i pinjam the backing/drum track....?

yes, i finish my solo already:
http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=23LK9BM...UN2P6Y23YGDY6SE

so about the solo :
1/ sorry about the album name and the comments... just joking
2/ At first I wanted to go with some freaky stuff, without bothering about a melody, but then suddenly i noticed that it was the summertime backtrack ! that "summertime" theme came up in my cloudy mind... just addictive.
3/ I may have put the solo track a bit too loud, let me know what you think about that especially. Is it "normal" level or not, for a solo track ?
4/ Some timing issues... as usual

led zep, sorry, I actually took the space right after evo.com, i didn't read your post before ! Just after me, there's the keyboard solo (and I followed it with my guitar for a while)... I wouldn't recommend anyone to add too much guitar on top of it, keep it breathing...

HH7, i never practise with a metronome, really... some times, but not much. I prefer to practise with a backing track, it's funnier. Yet I think the very important thing is that you devellop your ear ! No, not the left ear. Not the right either... they're big enough as it is i'm talking about the Musical one !!!
Not to say that I'm a pro in this area, but I know how to listen to myself over a song, to know whether I'm being musical, or in the rythm. As soon as you notice your flaws, you'll naturally find your way to correct most of them.

Playing "themes" from instrumental or vocal song will also help you to strength up your confidence. If you're a fan of Satch, try playing Always with me, Always with you / Surfing with the alien / Summer song / etc etc... All the themes are really easy to play (I mean, the first few bars with the melody, not the solo itself !), but they need to be right on spot. It's very instructive. Or you can try to play "TV" theme, or any kind of more jazzy theme. It's all slow and meaningful. That's what you need in your playing : slow and meaningful sentences...
Hope that helps...

So..what you guys are saying that I have the speed but not the accuracy?
Alamak..>_>..

Oh and metalhead here's the backing track

alright!!! hehe get to jam babeh~! we stick to the same jamtrack isit?..i'll wait for my turn anyhowz. Just dont laugh at my skills when you hear it

no point to have the speed and not the accuracy... it'll just sound like someone with only one aim and thats to play as fast as possible...
juz chill and keep practicing with a metronome... im sure after 1-2 years of constant practice you'll be shredding like becker


i gave up 6 months ago.... cuz im poo at shredding

zeroleet> talk it over with led zep... dont start 1st

EDIT : wow pix.... the intro really gives a nice continue... i thought the best part was at the 1.19 mark with that bend....

i reckon the song could fit another 5 or so ppl in it....its 6 mins long
ps: next guy change the file name into LYN jam or something like that

z3r0l33t, I'm recording this weekend, so if you wanna record yours before Saturday, please hurry haha! Otherwise I'ill take over after Pix. (Darn Pix's gonna me mine sound like crap LOL!)

In college now, couldn't download the file yet.

Oh yeah on the subject of metronome, I rarely uses it too and prefer to play over backing track. It does help a lot with a metronome, I'm just lazy and shred's not really my thing.

i wish i have the time to join in

thanx alot dude....hopefully i can finish the whole thing before christmas ...next year

Woah Pix... how am I suppose to continue the momentum you have left with the tapping part??? I love that man. XD What's with the bloody album title though!

Which guitar did you use anyway??? I'm guessing your Ibanez, eh?

Got my computer back with an old graphic card....... But looks like I can start recording now!! Expect to hear the Pig Squeals soon!!!

Hey could I take the space after Pix??? The keyboard solo part 'til the new progression at 2:41?? Thanks

Pix, the guitar is loud enough imho, could use a little reverb to wet it up tho!

Which part can I take? I did on the 2:41 spot also..... But I'll let led zep have it.... I'll just post up a preview of just that part....
Will solo on another time spot.......

Just tell me where....

I tried at the 4:41 spot...... too hard because near the end...... anywhere else??

Attached File(s)

we need more ppl!

owh isit? hey if thats the case..then you record first then let you all settle down and do your stuff,then i'll do mine

yep, keep it coming guys and thanks for the ...

err...

1 and a half comments on my part. woow.
Thanks to you guys, I will improve a lot ! hehehe

Led Zep, oh yeah the reverb... totally forgot about that. Actually I was so tired, I was focusing too much on playing and overlooked the sound. I played with the JS, correct (bridge humbucker), through a Marshall Plexi Variac and a 4x12 Custom, recorded with a Shure 57 on axis, in a medium-sized hall.

Damn, all that in a red bean...

The tapping part at the end is just a layer on top of the keyboard part, which is doing exactly the same tapping thing. So i was already there. i wonder what you're gonna do on the kboard solo...

i wish i have the skills to join in

let us be judge whether you have skillson guitar... then maybe, we'll leave it to you to judge yourself don't be shy, tytons ! if you have hardware to record, pleeeease do so.

we're a big family, it's all done in the greatest spirit of learning from each others. let's be frank : genius guitarists are out gigging or dead.. so who does that leave in this forum ?

so we got.... led zep > zeroleet> ??? ...>blacktrix

tytons? whacker? ebp? metalhead? headhunter? modd?

it'll fit another 2 more i think
