this one needs some work and i say that in comparison to the last song being aware of your capabilities. mikes suggestion of learning to punch in/out may help you.. its helped me smopoth out rough areas.. perhaps the other thing i can mention on this one is the very first slid lead guitar notes change key... it starts in one key and ends in another.. i dont know much about keys but the notes dont go together.. you can hear it.. thats fine if its what you want but usually you want a measure or 2 of the songs main progression to establish the feel before going off into tension (or another key) keep at it the rewards will come (or so i tell myself heheheh)

Very rough. I hate to use this term, but it's just 'noodling' on the guitar. It might be good to investigate some theory on why some notes work better than others, and see where you're going wrong. I'm not hearing any attempt at structure or staying in key. Also the guitar isn't very loud compared to the backing.

Yes, I have hesitated in the first place to post a song. (been here for a year or so) Thinking what you two have said and its true. Was curious/doughtful at the same time. So, okay, I am going to ah, reconsider my next P corner entries. And I prefer "Rough" than, not too bad, Mike. It's appreciated. you two are the only ones who have said anything and that is good. Those songs don't need an audience but you guys make me reconsider more carefullier about future material posted... ps, this is all done with no just the ps5 itself and nothing else. (no mixer), i have to always raise the "effext" volume to 110-115 usually. doesn't change my playing, just thought i would mention it... thanks again

Hey Jamis!
I was gonna give it a listen ... honest! Missed the opportunity, since it looks like you've now taken the song off Soundclick.
Judging from feedback you've received, sounds like this was more of a practice exercise than a song. The PS5 can be an excellent tool for practicing, and I encourage you to continue using it.
Mike and Matt suggested learning autopunch to clean up your recordings. I agree!
Autopunch can also be very helpful in practice mode -- playing rather than recording. You can set the PS5 to repeat your backing track automatically, then experiment with different solos until you come up with something you like. Once you've come up with one that sounds good, you can practice playing your solo over and over until you've learned it.
The most important thing is to keep playing! The more you play, the better you'll get!
Charlie

Ya, I hear ya Charlie, thanks. Is it possible to learn to play just by constantly soloing without any theory of chords and scales. I don't think so... So, can I get by, by soloing with just major and harmonic/melodic minor scales? and do i have to change scale every time I change chords? 2) when i bounce a track, does that track keep it's programmed settings, or revert to the settings of the track its bounced to? Mattl, can I record that "what the hell do i do with these brushes song" and if so, how do I record a Soundclic song in the first place, (the ones that are allowed)? back to the olympics

2) when i bounce a track, does that track keep it's programmed settings, or revert to the settings of the track its bounced to? The only settings we're talking about are EQ and pan. EQ is carried over in a bounce, but the target track EQ can also affect it. So if you set the EQ on the source track to something like +5 @ 400Hz (bassy), the bounced track will sound that way. But you can then set the EQ of the target track to -5 @ 400Hz, which will negate the original setting, or +5 @ 400Hz, which would actually double the effect. Pan is preserved only if you bounce to two tracks (stereo) and then pan the target tracks hard left and right. Reverb is not recorded to tracks, and therefore would not be carried over in a bounce.

Ya, Is it possible to learn to play just by constantly soloing without any theory of chords and scales. I don't think so... sure if youre not tone deaf. i was soloing for a long while before learning a single scale. not particularly well of course but not terrible.. now all i know is the pantatonic in a few different ways of playing it but rarely actually play the scale.. if i did id prbably be in key more you eventuially get used to what sounds right so that if you start on a oparticular note while soloing you know what positions near that niote will work from familiarity. it just takes time of course learnming notes on the neck is extremely helpful and thats what i learned from the 3 lessons ive taken, and i try to spend a few minutes working on that in my head every now and again.. so if you learn where an A note is on 6th tsring and start a pentatonic scale from there in a song that features A in it alot you'll probably be on key. now clearly im coming from the "i dont know nuthin about music" approach and certainly some education will be far better for you than this nonsense im giving ya hehehehehe but really i know lotsa famous talented guitarists musicians who arent musically educated either and theyre sounding good to me regarding the song yea just download the song's fropm its mp3 link,
