  • Goldberg Improv – Mellow Time

    Posted by Kitman on August 10, 2022 at 7:59 pm

    The backwards roll lick from today as well as the backing track was very mellow. Here was my take on an improv. Feedback and ideas are always welcome and appreciated! 😃

    That was a nice improv @Kitman 👏👏👏 You did a nice job of creating a melody from basically a 1 octave scale🤩 Did I hear/see you sneak in some double stops too😱🤘

      Thanks @Bill_Brown for taking the time to listen and provide your feedback and encouragement. I really appreciate it.

      There may well be some double stops in there! 😃. I was playing predominately blues and classic Rock before joining TAC. Double stops and bending notes are kind of a staple in those music genres and they usually find their way into a lot of what I end up playing in my improvs. 😎🎶🎸

        @Kitman , I commented on the double stops because I liked how you were thinking outside of the box to add a little flair to the improv – so no apology required.

        When I was watching your video late last night, at the end where YT shows other vids, I saw (and listened) your “At Albert” performance with your friend playing the mandolin. I thought that was spectacular and I really enjoyed listening to that. Any chance of seeing a version here🤔 This guitar geek would love to see/hear it!

        Hi @Bill_Brown , Thanks for your kind words. I can and will certainly post the “To Albert” video here in the forum and provide a bit of background to the song! 😎🎶🎸

        Well done, @Kitman ! Nice fingerpicking around the mellow backtrack . It’s nice you played some higher notes as well. It gave it a bright happy feel 😁🎶 Thanks for posting ! 👍
