    Yeah absolutely. I definitely notice a difference overnight if I've been working hard at something.

    Crap recording (I seem to have forgotten how to use Logic overnight!) and far from my best take of it so far, but here goes:

    This is THE song that made me say 'I want to do that' - so although the quality is a long way off where I want to ultimately get to actually being able to get through even my own ham fisted version of this was a huge deal for me.

    Wow. How long have you been playing? That's not beginner level!

    In terms of serious playing, around 14 months.

    You’re too kind though, I definitely still count myself as a beginner, I can’t even change from an open chord to a barre chord cleanly haha. And that recording was about take 20, and I still wasn’t anywhere near happy with it, I was just fed up of trying to re record it!!. I’ve just focussed more on lead stuff than rhythm since picking up the electric.

    14 months me too.

    Funny my Shook Me solo was first take, tho I did half a dozen others they all had more mistakes.

    I came to a 'publish and be damned' point, it wasn't meant to be perfect anyway.

    I just played yours back to back with the original (it's not a tune I know). That's very creditable well done. And 1m30 is a lot to remember too.

    You’re very kind. It’s a long way from the original but it made me feel very good to get the solo down that made me sit up and say ‘I want to do that’.

  • Long time since I posted anything! I'm working on Need Your Love So Bad, have already got the chord progression down despite it being a bastard with Diminished 7ths in it...tonight I started work on the lead lines.

    Here's my attempt at the intro solo after about an hour of figuring out the best fingering.  Still needs work obviously but I'm  intending to have a go at recording the whole track soon, just need the main solo.

    good work.

    managed to get 1/2 the Shook Me solo in time to a (slowed down) backing track - hoping to up a new recording next week.

    Fumbled my way through a recording of something else I'm working on - the (mostly) instrumental version of Human Nature from Michael Jackson : The Farewell. Only the intro bit at the moment.

    Really like that...might have a go at the myself...II would work on the timing a little if anything, a couple of phrases seems bit rushed, greta tone as well.

    Thanks both. 

    @spark240 yeah I did my usual trick - had a metronome on in Logic but could barely hear it once I started playing!! I think it makes it worse than having no metronome at all! The tone is just direct from the Helix to Logic, no processing of any kind.

    I didn’t realise that that song was essentially a Toto song used on the Jacko album, I’ve been watching some Lukather vids lately !

    @spark240 bit of a MOR tune for my tastes but that intro drum part is nectar in the ears.
