hey TL
so I got a new guitar a few days ago (ibanez ew20wne, such a sexy thing

)
and decided to record some stuff with it.
This is one of the products of that.

So when I was sort of done I sent it to my friend.
He liked it but said I should really work on that solo, so I asked whether he meant just whether I should rerecord it, cause I did a few mistakes (cause I actually really suck at playing guitar ^^) or whether he didnt like it in general and he said "both".
So I wanted to get a few more opinions and see if you guys also think it sucks / I should do a completely different solo or just rerecord this one.

Rerecord the solo. I think you have a good idea, the execution feels flawed. Given the more down-tempo laid-back quality that the song seems to have, your solo really needs to stand out. Right now it just doesn't feel strong enough; each note needs to be a bit more resonant and powerful, whereas right now it just doesn't seem to leave a lasting impression.

uh yeah, the solo could be played better. What do you use for recording ?

I think the current version is called Pod Studio.
Such a great device for its price.

I know that the solo needs to be rerecorded, I was sort of just too lazy to do that, the question though is whether to rerecord the same thing or do something different.

thx for your opinion crescentia

well i dont know, the for the solo just doesnt fit with the rest of the song, i mean it could be reworked, but if you can try something else, it might end up better, id probably try with something else, well actually i would re record this one and see how it sounds when played a bit more fluently, and if you aren't satisfied with that, then try something else.
Do you happen to have any tabs for the solo ?
