Don't Smash That Guitar, Play It Instead

Heard this chord progression on the movie Rudderless and wanted to improvise on it.

This is a major variation of a Sunn O))) song, it's pretty heavy so I don't think you'll like it much. But thanks for listening anyway.

Been reading Yngwie's memoir Relentless and although there are many untruths it is still entertaining and inspiring.

didn't mean to take up all your sweet time

took the chord progression from "The Weight" by The Band and added some things to it.

Sundown ya better take care If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs

Noodling in the lydian mode.

From the movie "Excalibur," Merlin's Charm of Making: Anál nathrach, orth bháis bethad, do chél dénmha. English: Serpent's breath, charm of death and life, thy omen of making.

Just when the guitar solos start to become boring they become robotic.

In this track the guitar melodies and solos are based on an unusual scale John McLaughlin (of Mahavishnu Orchestra fame) liked to use. It's basically a Phrygian Dominant scale with the flat-6 removed.

Took inspiration from Dave Brubeck's 'Take Five' instrumental. It's in 5/4 time. Thanks for listening.

"Play what you know and then play above that." -Miles Davis

Just a goofy song I made up about trolls (the mythological creature, not the internet kind).

A track inspired by Miles Davis's tune "Fat Time," even though it doesn't sound very much like it. Thanks for listening.

Built this jam around the bass line to Miles Davis's tune "Bitches Brew." In some places I tried to get my lead tone to sound like a trumpet.

From the Jan 2015 issue of Guitar World magazine, arrangement by Jimmy Brown. I didn't do his ending, but I did add a couple solos in the middle.

Silly cover of a silly song.

Major variation of this fusion tune.

Sorry about the bum lick around 1:41, maybe some of the licks after that will make up for it.
