Check out my guitar playing and let me know your honest opinion.

I might check it out if you post a complete poll option set. You left out the most difficult one to swallow... Gotta be fair and objective, otherwise its fishing for compliment..just sayin

what i wanna know is where can i find one of those backwards baseball hats?

Incomplete poll aside, what I want to know is how is this a Christian Guitar Solo? Other than it being taped in a church I see nothing religious about it. If I posted an Agnostic Guitar Solo would you be able to tell?

yes jimmy...i could tell. (and we'd all know that despite all claims of it being an agnostic guitar solo...that it was in fact secretly a devout muslim guitar solo)

Damn! Busted again! I want my 72 virgins!

it's not a bad solo.

But it's not good either.

i'ts a guitar solo

My honest opinion is that you have a lot of work to do before posting "look at me" videos, but you already have a few up.

I don't understand the psychology

I'm sure you impress the high school girls ... If you want to hear some tasteful lead guitar playing, go listen to the top 2 songs on Jeff's profile: http://www.bandmix.com/j-haley/

Getting a bassist and maybe another guitarist would really help. You're playing in circles, just the same two or three licks over and over with no dynamics or melodic development, in part because the Hammond and drums alone aren't giving you enough support. I think if you had a more solid rock backing, you'd have more room to explore melodically and could probably play something a lot more interesting.

Two minutes was all I could stand. You need a few more years of practice before you go trying to show off your killer guitar skills again. Aside from the monotonous and repetitious guitar, everything was really tinny, drums and keys both too loud, probably needs to be recorded in a much better location without all the horrendous echo of a church. EQ it a lot better, lose the echo and something besides the monotonous boom tap boom tap drums might help too. The bad EQ made it sound like he's playing on pie pans and a cardboard bass drum...


Oh, and next time make sure you include "It Sucks" in your poll...

Seriously, if you want honest opinions, include all the honest answers you're likely to get...good, great, bad, indifferent and it sucks would be a complete poll. Id didn't vote by the way, it sucks is not there.

And learn how to put that damn cap on right...you look stupid.

You asked for honest opinions...

BAND MIX.....it's a tough room to play.

just keep at it. play w the best musicians you can that'll tolerate you (i don't mean that as a slam) and enjoy the journey... because you never "arrive".
