Better tab - Robin Solo

[Dont Try Me]

cool! i like the acoustic version! great licks in there, especially the Bucket things, good chops! rockon!

[MeanBone]

i really liked the riffs, very cool ideas, seems pretty accurate. but the solo was a lil off on the bends and timing i think.


here's my take on better

no tab, this was just me jamming over the song. some mistakes here and there but it was a jam, nothing well prepared.

It was good I liked the way you played the solo part it sounded fucking great for just jamming!!!

[MeanBone]

thanks, it was a pretty lose interpretation of the song, i wasn't trying to go by book.


but the best better video on youtube is the one of Ron playing it in germany at the gibson showcase... that version is soooo cool!. ron kicks ass

Are you  guys talking about the accoustic version or this new video I posted?

yep.

Same here!!!

What? I said one thing or another.

I stopped playing guitar about a year ago because of wrist problems, hence why I tended to fuck up the bends. The timing was really my fault (and the low volume of the backing track).

Cool stuff man, nice guitar.

[MeanBone]

thanks  sorry to hear about the wrist :/ that can be tricky to fix. i really did enjoy the way you played those riffs, made me wanna pick up the guitar- and if i wasn't studying for an exam tomorrow i prolly would!

[Voodoochild]

Yeah, I had this wrist ache for years.. Last year I was working my ass off in a tech magazine and it got really worse, I needed some medical intervention. Also needed to chose between my job (as a journalist, I need to type a lot) and playing guitar because of all the stress in my wrist, so I needed to put the guitar aside for more than six months (and since then, I only play almost once per month, if so at all).

I do have some warm up tricks to do with the wrist now and it's getting better very slowly.

If you get the guitar to play it, make sure to do some recordings for us. Oh, and good luck on your exam!

[MeanBone]

thanks man

i will do so if i find the time!


the wrists are so complicated. i remember one gig i played that after 1 hour i couldn't open my hand. my wrist was all swollen up for not doing warm exercises. it got worse and i had to see a doctor. thank god no major harm was done and i'm all better now. but i always warm up now

[Manets]

Nice! Thank you

I know they seem like for noobs, but those Flexor Grip hand held strengtheners are a must.

I had to go to Physical Therapy for my arm and they had me doing one *i hadn't used one since I was a guitar noob*

anyhow, I bought one to do that part of my PT at home... I swear after a week, My speed and chops increased big time and i had less hand/finger fatigue.

[Voodoochild]

My wrist problem isn't just fatigue. As I'm a journalist, I need to type all day, so that alone fuck things up to me. I needed to chose: keep working or play guitar only for fun?

Nice! Thank you

Valeu!

[Voodoochild]

Nah, you're better served with the new tab book. This thread is useless now.

[Jdog0830]

No we could post our versions of the solo and some other parts! Music can be played in many ways!
