Amazing guitar solo!

Hey guys!

Sorry about the forward title, was just to attract attention, same with the Youtube title.

It's just a funky little blues solo I recorded...

Would love to hear what you guys think. If you have any comments or crits please let me know!

Thanks!

Dan , Nice job.
That guitar looks suspiciously like mine.
Good use of space and your timing was good and bends were clean. Maybe try a more melodic backing track next time and stretch out a little.
Check out this guy for a beautifully constructed solo reminiscent of Peter Green.

Really nice. I actually enjoyed it much more than the "Amazing guitar solo" I expected to hear (if you see what I mean - I expected some horrible widdling or something)

Your playing is actually strange to listen to because you sound VERY convincing and play with complete authority on some phrases but sound much more nervous and consequently more stilted on others. I think if you just keep jamming, learning from and listening to great soloists (on whatever instrument - particularly those with a "relaxed" sense of time) this will come. Great work though, keep it up!

Nicely done. And some good guitar solo faces too!

Been listening to a lot of Gov't Mule lately, and this isn't so far removed from Warren Haynes' playing style. Which is a compliment.

Very good stuff, and as others have said nothing like some of the usual drivel from guitarists on Youtube.

aye, very good, you look a little like Brian "Robbo" Robertson in his Lizzy days (without the hair!), especially with your blues jibs;-)

one thing I would say though is watch your bends, I know you are trying the old "pull it a little sharp" blues trick, but that oly really works on the 3rd not the root and without the proper conviction/vibrato on those micro bends it sounds a little off, but thats a very minor criticism..
