well this is my first post in this section so here goes. hxxp://www.soundclick.com/thedyood my take on coming back to life intro. i dont have any fancy shmancy fx so couldnt play the interlude . waiting for comments / criticism / death threats. cheers thedyood
*gives death threat* Dont try playing Coming back to life.....its not supposed to be played.....only my God (read Gilmour) can play it :grin:
listen to the song 100 times more. When you think melody and bends have sunk in - give it a shot. But before that practice!!!. Gimour is not a shredder but he can shred anyone with his priceless melodies. cheers
So very true man! @ poster - seriously dude, ur version deserves a death threat man! I actually think i wud have slapped u if u had played tht on stage in front of me! I swear! Gilmour is like God to me!
well thank you for the death threat, but i lacked the equipment so it sounded bad. what can you expect from laptop speakers and no fx ? may be when i own or can access it, i will record it and then put 'em up for comments. donations for the equipment will be accepted cheers
Keep practicing! Gilmour lives the note in any state - he can make a simple riff or tune sound like out of the world - and you would practice for months to get to that. Guitar equipments matter but not all. He values bob seeger a lot (his only mentor in early days). This guy could play his heart out with simple rhythm and melody. I feel its just a thing about cultivation - you recieve something and take it from there.
Its not abt the equipment man! U can make it sound much better....way way waaaaay better than that on acoustic guitar itself - try checkin out Floyd's acoustic version of the same song, if u dont believe me... U want feedback, i`ll give u feedback - but plz ensure tht u take it well and work harder to improve... U`re timing is seriously fcuked up man! Ur bends are awry - all u`re doin is hitting the right notes most times, but the timing is bad, the bends are bad.....and tht totally ruins the song. Wht u shud be doing, assuming frm ur playing tht u`re a nOOb, is to a.) Pick up ur acoustic and practise ur lessons on tht b.) Hope u have a Melbay or a Manoloff or something..... play tht day in day out c.) Play scales - i never did tht and i still repent it - scales will help u know ur fretboard better and move faster and smoother. d.) Dont pick up electric songs if u dont have a processor - try honing ur skills on acoustic songs e.) Finger exercises man !!! Bends, slides, some Finger Gymnastics will certainly help u... Dont blame lack of instruments man! I connect to my comp too....skill and technology are totally different stuph! I know my shit to know the difference! :lol:
hey geniusoid, what comments you have for my version of coming back to life solo? i know its scrwed up at some places but still would like to hear ; )
https://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=284341&songID=5177958 hah, we should join a Coming back to life fan club. I'd like opinions as well (on the hi-fi version please).
Read my comments on ur post...very neat work..... @ BJR - Ur singing reminds me of tht UB40 wala.....aren't u draggin the words? I heard the lofi version, coz my net speed is slow....didnt get much of guitar in ur version dude - just sing strums per chord..... Maybe Stranger_in_my guy shud make a track for u to sing for - whatsay?
