Guest solo for Jhakwe (probably my fav. so far!)

[Metaltastic]

Hey dudes, Jhakwe was kind enough to let me contribute a solo to one of his songs (here's the thread with the original), and I have to say I'm especially proud of this one! Comments appreciated! (and yes, I know the solo is too loud, in this case that's the point )

And stay tuned for when he posts the final song, cuz it also has a guest solo by our own Felix Neumann! (and is an awesome song in general )

Wow man, nice and tasteful! Sounds great too!

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Wow man, nice and tasteful! Sounds great too!

THAT

 

[spioraid]

Sick dude. Really sick!

 

[Chris_P_Critter]

Dude - GOOD! Very simple, and phrased very well! Not a bunch of notes crammed together that don't fit.

Good job - I approve.

 

[J.DavisNJ]

Nice lead dude! I dig your style a lot. Which scales/modes do you use?

-Joe

 

[Metaltastic]

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it, especially all the mention of taste, cuz above all else that's what I strive for! Joe, umm, the scale/mode the song is in, I guess (B minor I'm pretty sure) Honestly, while I do know a decent amount of theory, I have almost no ability at linking it to my playing; rather, I go strictly by ear, cuz I have a really strong innate sense of key and knowing when a note is sour.

And Erik, I would really love to contribute a solo to one of your songs dude, preferably something fucking absurdly epic - let me know!

 

[KeithTidd]

you have good tone/vibrato.

 

[Metaltastic]

Thanks a lot Keith! Don't wanna toot my own horn too much, but I really feel when it comes to leads the tone is in the fingers, at least far more with rhythm (to put it another way, I find I have to do SO much less tweaking to get a good lead tone I like, compared to my endless obsessing over getting the amp settings for the chuggas just right)

 

[Metaltastic]

And to further emphasize the point, while I would never dream of comparing myself to him, Per Nilsson recorded all of his solos on Symmetric in Design with a freakin' V-amp! (and direct-in, no less)

 

[Zack Uidl]

nicely done dude

 

[Nukular!]

That's a very nice one! Fits great and the tone is superb imo. I like how you "attack" each note.

 

[jauernis]

Skills skills skills

Wow perfect thats all I have to say!

 

[Machine_adikt]

The solo is nice and Well phrased

but i my opinion it would be nice to have juste a tiny bit of shredding somewhere in the middle. Not something to fancy but i think the whole thing calls for some speed at a certain point otherwise very nice tone

Cheers from Switzerland

[Felix Neumann]

Oh fucking yeah!! It´s great, Marcus. Respect for technique, feeling/phrasings and your awesome sound!!

We both cannot hide, that we dig Evergrey a lot, but this style fits perfectly to Jhakwe´s song

I've held me back, but here is my (not so spectacular) guest solo for the song. Here we go:

Felix guest solo

Can´t wait to hear the finished song!!!

 

[JonWormwood]

Awesome you guys.

I should give a shot of a solo over this.

 

[Felix Neumann]

with a freakin' V-amp! (and direct-in, no less)

Now guess, what gear I have used for my solo

 

[RaDiKaL]

Delicious!

 

[J.DavisNJ]

Good call on the Evergrey Felix. Tom and Henrik's style is awesome! I can see how it can influence Marcus's playing.

Yeah man, you´re right I also thought about Evergrey, as I played my solo.

Marcus`s Solo is full of individuality though..and very accurate performed!
