Comfortably Numb...my version

OK, not sure why everyone is getting hot and bothered about this, but here's something to remember...


I said in my original post that I "downloaded a backing track" and played guitar over it... The key here is "downloaded a backing track" the poor sound quality of the backing in particular is because that is how the backing is...that part I can do nothing about as I did not create the backing track. Is this clear???

I never said I wanted good or bad feedback, I just asked for comments.

I am not a shred player by any means at all, just thought I'd give it a go, if it's no good, that's fair enough, I won't lose any sleep over it. It was just a one off 1st take record it and forget it affair.

It is a bit funny though that you "experts" don't give any constructive critisism, you merely critisize, which is a shame as nobody will learn anything from your immature "won't win any awards" or "you need to learn when to shred" type of comments. A more mature and considered opinion would have been to offer advice as to why it "won't win any awards" and how to "learn when to shred". It appears that most of these types of forums are just full with "head up yer ass" types who think they know everything about everything and have no interest in helping others to progress. A shame really, but that's me finished here.

I downloaded a backing track and played guitar over the top. Here's my version of Pink Floyds "comfortably numb".

Comments?

And comments you received. Sorry more of them weren't to your liking...

I never said I wanted good or bad feedback, I just asked for comments.

Sometimes it's hard to separate comments from feedback...

Here's a comment.... I just had a great Sushi lunch!!! I think I need a nap now...

Seriously... overplaying is best cured by recording yourself often, and posting the results here, so that Blue Bear and myself can tell you when you've got it right... :D :D

I often "overplay" myself... my recordings show it, and my wife tells me. The best cure would be to become a "better" player, so that I (we) don't have to resort to "Speedy licks" in the absence of more musical ideas... Really...
 
I'm not an 'expert' by any means whatsoever, but when I saw the thread "comfortably numb...my version" I expected to hear something more original than an electric guitar solo over a prerecorded track. Don't get me wrong, I think you're a very good guitarist. It would just be more interesting to me as a listener to hear something I haven't heard with the song such as a theremin solo, reverse drums, pedal steel guitar...something, anything.
I think you have plenty of skill to get guitar playing cred...no doubt about it. It just says nothing to me artistically...and maybe it's not supposed to, I'm just giving you my comments and opinions. I'm interested to see what you're capable of though so keep the tracks coming

good luck!

Dil, I like it, I'd like to hear the whole song. This is my cup of thea. This is actually one of my favorite P F songs and you play the guitar very well.
