Detective Clarence Beauregard
Dehumanized
I think his most well-composed solo is Accolade II. There's just so much feeling in it, and it's even a little bluesy (which we all know is odd territory for MJR).
And I agree with progmetalpilgrim. It sounds logical to me.
The solos are more improv. He said somewhere that he likes to record his solos first take so that the feel doesnt get lost trying to perfect it. He probably just has the theory in the back of his mind.I reckon he probably takes time to write a lot of his solos, some of the initial ideas would probably come from improvising, but then I think he'd craft those together into a killer solo... Just my opinion, I'd like to hear MJR's...
I tabbed the intro to Domination. The 3rd track from the new album, Paradise Lost.
