Hahaha!! Good tastes indeed! Melody is super catchyOh, wow, this was the coolest one I saw on FB! I didn’t know he was a member here! Glad to hear I have good taste in music.I really loved his solo.
What guitar is that, anyway? Any idea?Pfft..whatever. I could do that if I had a 31 fret guitar too
Obviously kidding, that was crazy clean playing.
No idea, pretty cool build though.What guitar is that, anyway? Any idea?
Waghorn I'm pretty sure.What guitar is that, anyway? Any idea?
Yeah, that was my best guess from what you can see of the headstock.Waghorn I'm pretty sure.
Per Nilsson and Paul Wardingham are definitely influences. I can hear some Andy James a bit as well in his other solos. I may be wrong…That's awesome. Getting some Scar Symmetry vibes.
I’m not sure I understand what that would mean in practice for this soloThis was the solo that a guy on FB pointed out that he treated the 1 chord as major instead of minor. Which is thought was SUPER cool, because it really gave me insight into how he composed the solo.
Yeah, so I actually made a thread on here and talked with a guy on FB about it. The progression is VI, VII, i, where the i is just placed as a power chord. So, given the progression, it would be minor diatonically, but he chose to treat the chord as major. Since there was no minor third (aka it was a power chord) there was no dissonance, and it worked. But it’s a clever way of sounding different, and it tells me that he put a lot thought into the solo, and likely composed it carefully.I’m not sure I understand what that would mean in practice for this solo
Oh ok, I understand. It’s always cool to solo over chord progressions that aren’t uniquely defined, e.g. chords with missing 3rds.Yeah, so I actually made a thread on here and talked with a guy on FB about it.

Amen to that!it’s easy to analyze but pretty hard to compose something so catchy.
