One of my favourite richie solos is i believe a very simple and effective solo.

Its not about as many notes as you can as fast as you can, its more about knowing when not to play, thats more of a skill than playing scales all over the board.

Oh and jim, i quoted form the wromg post, but you get what i mean.

ill make a thread on it on announcement ok?

we need a good tab for it btw

well only if you want everyone to nail the solo bang on as it is in the recording.

i think it could be much more interesting if we had the basis of the solo but you could work around it just like richie (and most other guitarists do) live

i mean how exactly are we going to differentiate if they're all the exact same?

Bed of roses is a good start. i will try to knock up a downloadable backing track, for you guys to solo over by the end of the week. there should be a good tab on the web.

andy

yeh but what im sayin is we want everyone to have the basis not just say play the solo to everyday and have someone playin it in standard tuning

i can tab most of it, its just the fast(ish) bit in the middle where its hard to transcribe. but we should be able to make somethin up

im not even sure how to get recordings from my desk onto my laptop so i dunno how feasible getting a backing track from the laptop onto a track on the desk would be

i might have to be doing this one "a capella" guys

I see your point Jim, but as soon as i heard the backing i think it would be difficult to restrain from slippimg into the original solo.

Does anyone have a suitable random backing track we could use. I cant find the one i solod over. I dont think people would mind what key it was in.

We could have say 2 months to practise and nail it if you like or i dont mind an immediate one. Its up to you guys

Andy

same here

tbh i think our best bet is to do it all acapella on msn or somethin cos itd be live an raw, i mean we wouldnt want anyone flukin it now would we lol

I can see it being a problem people recording stuff as its quite difficult to do. nd people shouldnt be judged onn the quality of there recording just the guitar playing.
