Here is my take. I’ve not yet listened to other submissions for fear of catching an ear worm. I was tempted to fix some timing issues but decided to leave it as-is,
Damn, you guys are on a roll. If I don’t get a chance tomorrow I’m definitely going to have to get things sorted out over the weekend.
Man, I seem to be the only one with their socks knocked off by Julia Lange’s solo. That thing just tugged at my heart with every single note. I thought it blew the doors off of every other solo in the video for sheer feel and pure musicality … which is saying a lot because they were all excellent.
I haven’t come up with anything I’m happy with, but will keep trying. I’ve enjoyed everyone’s offerings! 👍
She had the most outstanding tone. It really stood out to me as a tone I had not really experienced before. Very sweet and so pure and crystalline.
Another nice one! Is that your guitar in the track art @espiegel123 ?
I agree @wim , her solo is a thing of beauty and very different to the rest.
Didn’t notice any timing issues @espiegel123 , just a great solo !
I don't like A minor.
It gives me the E B G Bs.
👍 @klownshed
Wow. Everyone did such a bang up job it’s hard to pick a favorite.
What a great idea.
Thanks for starting this @GeoTony.
I’ve enjoyed all the different takes that the forums members have posted. I am glad I didn’t listen to any of the solos before giving it a try. Every solo submitted has tasty bits that would be hard not to steal.
@AlterEgo_UK : really appreciate the restraint and leaving yourself somewhere to go so that interest level builds all the way through the end.
In answer to your question: yes that’s the guitar I played. It was a prototype Ibanez artist that never went into production. I got it used circa 1977 or 78. Ibanez was putting their first non-clones on the market after losing a lawsuit. The story I was told is that an Ibanez sales rep was taking prototypes to the big Los Angeles area music stores to drum up interest in the months leading up to the release. But the lineup wasn’t final. This one was a double-cutaway proposal for Santana who ended liking a different prototype better. The rep apparently didn’t come back for it. Someone who worked at the store bought it for themselves and then sold it to me a few months later.
@GeoTony : both takes are cool. I really love the use of wide intervals. I aspire to that but haven’t gotten my brain to hear that way.
@pbelgium : love the tone, intensity and use of bends and vibrato to vary tension/intensity/dynamics. You take us on a pretty varied journey in just a minute.
@Ailerom : definitely not boring and repetitive. Great feel and a nice build. I enjoyed it.
@JanKun : love it. It doesn’t strike me as rusty. There is a lot of heart and intensity there. Love the double-stops and the way you play with time and rhythm.
Thanks @espiegel123 for the in-depth listening and detailed comments 👍
I love the fact that I’m using wide intervals and don’t even know what they are 🤨 I’m googling now 😊
Nice playing @espiegel123 and nice guitar & backstory. I remember playing a friend's Ibanez Artist in the 80's. I can imagine Santana playing yours - double cutaway, SG/LP style guitar (he also played a similar Yamaha guitar).
That would work better with Em
Thank you for commenting. I am glad you liked the idea of these 4 notes. This is my failed attempt to quote Jimmy Page on his infamous Heartbreaker solo 🫣
@AlterEgo_UK @espiegel123 @GeoTony I didn't mean rusty in terms of playing (even though there are few phrases I wish I had played with more clarity and precision). What I meant is that since I stopped soloing years ago, it takes a lot more time to plan/build the solo and let the fingers execute the musical phrases I am hearing. Soloing is like a muscle that needs to be regularly trained if you don't want to lose it.
@GeoTony : Challenge accepted!
“Is this really all there is?” - Sir Gawain, at the moment of his impending death.
“What else ought there be?” - The Green Knight
Since I don’t actually play guitar (or anything else, for that matter), I instead built this by manipulating the backing track directly as multiple File Player loops in AUM . No instruments, no MIDI, just manipulated loops. (and a lorra lorra fx, obvs!) The only sample used was the original backing track wav provided above by Tony, very heavily sliced, diced, and fx-ed. Enjoy!
Great interpretation Irena ( @Svetlovska ) , no idea how you got the banging / crashing sounds. Also (this might sound daft) I loved the resolution in the last 10 seconds. Nice Arthurian quote… one of my favourite books in my youth was The Once and Future King by T H White which I’m sure you will have read 📖
@GeoTony : Thanks for the listen, and the kind comment. Much appreciated.
Re the resolution: you mean: you loved it when all that din stopped, no ?
I too, to be honest, but simply playing the whole track at one eighth speed hardly seemed sufficient a reworking, (though I think that sounded fantastic), so I ended up with some pretty extreme eq-ing and other manips to make it into something different. Note, I say different. Not better. 
As far as I am concerned, almost everything sounds better at one eighth speed. 
Yes, you’re right, I have always had a thing for those near-pagan myths. ‘The Once and Future King’ - what an incredible, resonant phrase! White did a superb job of taking the Middle English source materials and making popular accessible art from them for modern audiences. Up there with Tolkien in that regard.
Gawain & The Green Knight though written comparatively late, in the fourteenth century, also harks back to that ancient time of the green man in the woods, of supernatural beings and sacrifices and the unblinking clear acceptance of Death, waiting patiently as end point of every quest, in imagination or in life…
It reminded me of how great the recent movie was at capturing that deep mysticism and existential bleakness at the heart of the Green Knight story, and prompted me to buy a copy of Simon Armitages’ modern verse retelling of it. I also snagged his version of Malory’s Morte d’Arthur too. Another poignant tale.
Beowulf. Arthur. Cú Chulainn. The great once and future kings.
Good playing @JanKun - I didn't know you could do that!
That sounds amazing @Svetlovska - completely obliterated that Beatles vibe. (I will start playing guitar at one-eighth speed.)
@pbelgium For now, it seems I still can 😅. But it's not because one can, that one should 🤪
@Svetlovska Irena, beyond recognition, that's just perfect. Does it mean that if I sent you, let say 3 audio files of whatever I want, in theory, with your AUM black magic, you could come up with at least one of your piece of art only based on those samples ?
@pbelgium : thank you! ‘Completely obliterating that Beatle vibe’ is as good a mission statement as any
@JanKun: I’m game for a laugh, though I don’t promise art. If you’d like to try a collab, PM me a link where I can download the files from, and I’ll see what I can do.
First, send me either a few verses of your liking or a collection of your favourite words.
Ok. I’ll PM you.
