Hey fellow forumites, haven't posted here in a while, but I thought I'd like to check up on how I'm doing from a different perspective. I'm getting more in to jazz, and this is my take on a song loosely based on Fall Off Trees. It was recorded the pinhole mic on my screen, and with my trusty Seagull (Even the bass). All tracks were done first take.

I already know I need to work on my phrasing and timing, but any other suggestions? Thanks!

Hey yoyo, good to hear from you, where you been :?:
Hmmm, sounds pretty cool, some nice bends. I think you need to just keep playing it till it just come a bit more natual to you. It sounds a bit strained in places, but your playing has come a long way since the last time you posted an mp3 :D Keep up the good work---the dog

Thanks smokindog. I've been having lots of stuff at school this year (Heck, I had to stay up late to get this recording done!), so I've been kind of missing out on recording. I'll try to jam with you guys in the near future! :) Still workin on my blues licks... :wink:
Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I'm just starting jazz (Well, this was more melodic than jazzy, but I only have one original jazz lick so far, and that in a major key, this is Am BTW), and have really started to see just how complicated it is. From what I can tell so far, you have to be rock solid with your music theory stuff to understand it. I'm still learning about music theory, so I get completly baffled with the jazz stuff. :oops: Hope to take Music Theory (and then Jazz Band) as a class in high school, but I hear it's VERY tough (Like a junior college for Juliard :lol: )
Thanks again! :D
