Weekly One Take - Get feedback on your improv! Week 27OFFICIAL

Welcome back to Weekly One Take, the weekly improv thread with a focus on constructive feedback.

Thank you to everyone who posted takes or gave feedback last week! Great to see all the fantastic submissions and comments.

The Concept

There are two ways you can participate in this thread, and they are not mutually exclusive!

  1. Record a take of yourself improvising over the backing track provided. The idea is not to achieve perfection - record a real, live, raw and unedited solo. It can be a video or just a recording. Upload your take to YouTube or Soundcloud and share it in the comments. Tip: keep your take short and sweet. If you record a 10 minute take, think about chopping it down and submitting just the first few minutes.
  2. Give feedback on someone else's take. We're looking for supportive, constructive comments - putting yourself out there for everyone to listen to is scary, and everyone is at a different stage in their guitar journey. Critiques are welcomed, but don't just criticise - offer suggestions on how to improve, and highlight the things you did like too.

This week’s track:

Jam Band

If you have any feedback on the concept as a whole, please let me know in the comments/DM me.

Well that put a smile on my face! Crazy 3 string slide guitar and singing about a big green tractor, what’s not to like!?

Feel like my challenge with blues soloing is trying toe the line between not being boring/generic vs. going too far the other way and playing something that doesn't sound bluesy anymore!

I have spoken to the channel creator and they have kindly given permission for their track to be used. Thanks for flagging though.

Shredtastic! Lots of cool ideas, I liked all the chordal stuff and arpeggios. Also sweet Strandberg!

Nice work, very melodic!

One thing I noticed straight away from the video was your fly away fingers on your left hand. It’s not causing any particular issues, but it will limit how fast and accurately you can play. I think justinguitar has a video on exercises to help fix this, could be worth a google! Basically just try and keep your fingers close to the fretboard rather than pulling them all the way off between notes.

Thank you! So glad that you felt inspired by my take, that’s made my day!

I’ve done this test and noticed no difference… My understanding is that the converters in the stomp are at least as good as in an interface like a Focusrite.

There aren’t strict rules, if that’s what works for you then go for it.

As you’ve said above, the natural minor is one of the modes of the major scale already. It doesn’t make sense to differentiate modes based on the major vs the natural minor - it’s the same 7 modes.

There are however modes of the harmonic minor and melodic minor, so if you include those you’re up to 21 modes!

I wasn’t sure if it was the buzz of my phone or my boyfriend’s arm wrapping around my waist as he snuggled into bed next to me that roused me from sleep.

Wriggling closer to him, I reached for my phone and read ‘Hey boo, had a bit too much to drink so I’m gonna crash at Chris’s tonight. See you tomorrow xx’

I thought this track would be a challenge when I listened to it because it's SO bare, but I actually got into it! Listening to Mateus's original video definitely helped get me inspired, love his playing.

I've posted an alternative track if you want to try something new!
