Obviously, I don't mean to make this a competition (I don't have the chops for it anyway lol) but it would be nice if the players around here could post some clips of themselves playing. Here's a little something I did for a portuguese forum. It's just a little solo on top of a Bon Jovi backing track (Dead Or Alive). Don't mind the horrible playing, my tapping and alternate picking are not top notch right now.

That sounds pretty good guy. I like the way you started the solo very similar to the original. You should have left the chords in there though. Chords used in a solo aren't that common and I missed that in your version. AnywayI liked how you turned on the effect that gave the big stereo seperation. That was a nice touch.
Unfortunately, I don't have any of my music on my new computer. I think I have some on my old PC (which is in my bedroom, but not connected to the net) so when I get time, I will burn some on a disc.

Bryant, I really had no idea how Sambora played the original solo. In fact I just downloaded the song to check that out. You really have a point there, the chords he plays sound really cool, I wish I had included that in my version, but the last time I listened to that song prior to the recording was probably even before I started playing the guitar. That stereo separation effect you refered to is basically just overdubbed guitars panned hard left and right. Thanks alot for you comments man. :)

I posted this a while back, and it's not the cleanest around, but still, it's me! :)

I heard it from Paul Gilbert originally, and I think I said it was originally by Chopin, which I recently found out it was actually part of Paganini's "Perpetual Motion." It's alot harder than it looks, let me tell you :p

It's pretty clean man. I heard a couple accidental notes ( not accidentals as in flats and sharps ), on the lower strings, but, pretty good. If you recorded it again, I'm sure you'd blaze right through it.

Yeah, in my opinion the hardest part of the song is that part, because of the 2 string skip/sweep thing. It's weird, but it's definatlely pretty fun! :)

I don't want to sound like "Dr. know-it-all", but using chords (as far as like basic power chords) in a solo is a lost art. Even Sambrora (who us a fine guitarist, but not great in my ears) didn't use them much best I can recall (been a loooong time since I listened to Bon-Jovi though.) Wolf Hoffman who is definitely one of my top five guitarists of all time used them religiously and even in the mid-eighties when Accept was at it's peak Wolf stood out even alongside countless other shredders out there because of the little things like adding those chords in his solos.
Back to the stereo "thing." That was a nice touch. Adding seperation makes your sound "big" and actually adding a left and right track gives it a much more human touch than just delaying left-right or whatever digital manipulation is available.
I don't want to sound like some guitar God giving advice, as I am not, I'm just an old guy who has been listening to metal for over 20 years and I could retire if I had $5 for every guitar solo I have ever heard. Keep jamming.

How can you record what you play on your pc? whats do you need to do that?

There is no simple answer to that. There is some free "wave editing" software that will allow you to multitrack on your PC. I don't know what "current" software is available but it's a long and time consuming process using that approach. I have used Goldwave in the past. I don't know if it is still available or not. Cool Edit is also a popular one.
To get your guitar hooked up to your PC, if you have a multi-effect unit, you can get the right adapters to plug the output of your unit into the line-in of your soundcard. Make sure you have a good amp-simulator on your effect pedal or you will have to mic your amp, then run it through a mixing booard and into your soundcard which is a big headache. Without the amp and cab sim, your sound probably won't be very good.
Another option is the Digitech GNX 9something or other) pedal which is about $400 but it gives you software and up to 8 mono tracks overdubbing and it is lossless meaning you don't lose sound quality everytime you add another track. You can connect it directly up to your PC as well.

Great stuff. I am happy you decided to put in more than just a solo. Cool progressive stuff there. Your solos sound great, but your songwriting in general is even better. I like the transitions from one progression to another. Though you have many ideas in one song (or piece of the song) they flow together well.

another arpeggio thingy using two right hand fingers to tap. I messed up a few times, but oh well.

Super cool shredder stuff there. I have never actually used that technique in an appreggio, but I don't really go for the over-the-top stuff as much as I used to. That's a cool riff. Ever listened to Pagans Mind ? The guitarist, Jorn-Viggo Lofstad (they are Norwegian) is a bit of an old-school fan who is into EVH and does quite a bit of tapping. Of course he "modernizes" the sound, but he blends some great technical stuff with great phrasing and emotion as well. He's one of the best guitarists no obne has ever heard in my opinion and if you like two-hand technique, he might have some stuff that impresses you.

@Splinterhead: cool stuff! Is that home-recorded?

Heres a bit of my work at home:

LotR Pt.I % LotR Pt.II
Lets call it a variation of Howard Shore's score for the trilogy.
(right or left click, both are 128Kb mp3s of about 3MB)

This is a the first half of a song I have to finish yet.
