Here is my second attempt :D

I have put some chords down on this drum and bass track and tried to play lead in the style of Santana (not an easy task)
But hey I thought I'd give it a go.

Hear it here http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=686668 its called "Latin improv"

Thanks again for all the feedback :wink:

Rod.

Be excellent to each other & party on dudes!

Well you are sure getting there on the tone, one trick you might try
is looping a few bars and keep playing some lead on that until you get it bang on. Repeat the process throughout the track.

Another tip is that less is often more in a word its far better to play 5 notes and get every one spot on than say 15 and get a few wrong.

Enjoyed the listen and its great to hear that you are well on the road and even better getting there.

Really great stuff Rod,

Now try and convince me you are not good enough to play in a band!!!!

rodders, it sounds good, it really does, but I think it'd sound 1,000 times better if you put vibrato (if its there, I can't seem to hear it) on a bunch of those notes - it really adds a lot.

Nice job anyways though
