Thread: Guitar Showdown Anyone?

For 6 easy payments of $199.99 (A GOOD DEAL!) i will teach you how to play air-guitar!

Hey, Howie linked me to this thread - sounds like fun.

- A submitted video or audio recording which includes you playing a complex rhythm guitar part, also include a description as to why the rhythm guitar part is complex.

Well, I'm not sure if it's the most complicated of pieces - but it is a new piece for me so I'm still learning it. Im not exactly big on technique, I enjoy composing mostly (sometimes I write stuff I'm not skilled enough to play myself).

Anyway, I wrote this one in December. I think it's "rhythm" - not sure. There's a combination of strumming and picking, there really aren't any standard chords and there's some accents and room for improvisation. I wouldn't consider it a difficult piece overall, it's just getting all the little details and technique down that usually trip me up. The transition to the time change at the end still needs to be figured out (most of that was improvised).

Hey Joe? Where ya goin' with that acoustic in your hand?

Seriously though.. nice left hand technique.. (assuming you're right-handed).. nice tone and bronze "slap".. just the right amount of reverb.. easy to download..

All-in-all, pretty good. Well done that man!

Joe! WOW!

Brought a tear to me eye, it did. I adore that style of playing. Very open and lush, subtle swing... man, that's sweet. You've got my vote so far!!!!

does that come with a free air guitar? I've always wanted one!

K here's my one minute submission.

Why is it harrd? 'cause you have to alternate between down strokes and alternative picking on 3 strings super fast and the ascend the neck with chromatic chords REALLY fast. It's tough.

Well ranma187.. I downloaded it, but just could not get any sound out of it..

Okay ranma.. I got sound.. nice growly tone.. although metal is not really my thing.. but good musicianship nonetheless.. well done!

But as far as originality goes, it's still pj's first that does it for me..

Although it is important to remember (though you've probably voted by now?) that this week's contest is not based on originality.
