Haven't been around here in ages, we have had twins and time has been short :-) 

Just thought I would post an improv piece I recorded this week to get some feedback. The recording isn't great, it was done on an iPad with Bias FX. Any feedback welcome as I am trying to get playing regularly again and get over my fear of letting people hear me play

Bellycaster

Very impressive, superb legato technique.

alvynmcq

Thanks Bellycaster, not sure about it being superb. But I will take it

Very nice. The style is a bit like something that Steve Topping might do (e.g. Woody Chimer).

alvynmcq

Thanks stratman. I had never heard Steve Topping!!! Listening to woody chimer now, thanks for the compliment. 

MatthewShreddery

Nice playing!
I really like the tone - slightly Allan Holdsworth. Where did you get the backing track?

Deijavoo

Really nice playing there. There's a lot of good players on here and you're not alone in the fear of showing it off.

alvynmcq

Thanks Deijavoo and Matthew, Deijavoo, find it very difficult letting other people hear me play, I always thought it was just me :-) Just to keep me on track for making myself share things I will drop another track into the thread. Any feedback welcome again



The backing tracks I use are from the MyDarnJamTracks youtube channel

If anyone has BiasFX I would be happy to share the tone patch.

Exquisite Lydian flavour! Nice one, mate! And this BT isn't an easy one, is it? 5/4 and then 6/4... well done!

alvynmcq

Thanks Ivan. Yeah it's 3 bars of 5/4 then 1 bar of 6/4. I didn't really pay concious attention to that when recording. It was a one take improvisation to see what would come out
