Guitar solo

Okay, here is the ptb file. The swing is the powertab standard ( = 100 in Finale).

Yeah, those fingerings aren't really practical. Usually, you'll want to keep the phrases in as small a space on the neck as possible (fret-wise). Guthrie Govan plays a song similar to what you're trying to do called "Waves" on his album Erotic Cakes, and I think that it might be good for you to listen to and look at the transcription.

The piece is all right, though.

I think you've heard more than enough comments! I can't really recognize if it's a 2/4 , 4/4 or something else :s. Besides the fact that you have to work a bit more on the rythm (I wouldn't say monotone, but a bit too repetitive..you can always 'spice' up the theme with some slight variation), I would suggest you to kind of define the "real" rythm...You could add some extra "tone" by perhaps adding a second 'guitar' somewere in the half of the song...

Thanks all for the comments. This was just an experiment - I may get back to it or maybe not but now at least I have some guidelines (not being a guitar player myself).

I'm going to have a lot of spare time in a couple of weeks when my exams are over, would you like it if I recorded myself playing your composition?

Obviously I'll credit it to you and e-mail you the mp3 and such. All I ask is that I can link to it on my music myspace...it seems like a fun thing to learn and play, with some really challenging elements, so I'd love to have a go at it.

Goodness, I would really love to hear it performed - if it can be. Yes, for sure, as long as you credit me put it up on your website.

No trouble. I can't promise I'll do it in a timely fashion, but once I have (sometime in the next month probably) I'll let you know about it.

Does it have a title other than "Guitar solo" ?

Whenever you have time - I've failed to get two guitar players I know interested so I really appreciate your offer.

Well, I thought it had a western feel and was sort of wobbly - so I gave it the title "Gravol Gaucho".

Gravol is a pill for motion sickness and gaucho is roughly a South American cowboy. So with the slides, the piece could describe the lurching and swaying of a rider as his horse navigates a tricky twisty uneven trail.
