C'MON ALREADY!!!
C'MON ALREADY!!!

Missed that one...famous beagle said:I'm downloading the contest right now, so I'll get around to it some time this weekend. I'll have to listen to the cheesieness of the tunes before I can decide on my solo approach though!![]()
Timothy Lawler said:Point of order! I'd like to respectfully remind the obviously very dexterous Mr. Finster that an analytical description of the solo's tonal orientation is to be weighed as part of the competition.

The winner is the first one to call the other a nazi/fascist/communist?mshilarious said:which was that the winner had to be determining solely by arguing.
Well it sure shut mine...and I hadn't opened it yet...............mshilarious said:Well, that's gonna shut apl's mouth! Nicely done!
apl said:Maybe there should be a division for musicians that can name the modes and the rest of us who just fake it.
xfinsterx said:Only had time to do the first one.
So heres that one for now.
Thanks mshil, this wa fun!
Timothy Lawler said:Anybody else have their solo nearly ready to post?
Mine'll be up tonight unless I get more interruptions. I'm planning to call it "Cheesy Variations for YP-15 and Reluctant Classical Guitar". Actually what I've got isn't actually "variations", but that title sounds better than other ideas I had so I'll stick with it.
My stylistic influences for it are two composers who are both guilty of being cheesy... Mauro Giuliani, a 19th century Italian guitarist and 20th Century Argentine composer Julio Sagreras.

I liked the stutery 16th note feel to it.
That was nice! The push/pull thing added some tension and made it interesting. It could have been a much longer piece without getting boring.Timothy Lawler said:Thanks Chris.
When I was tinkering with the YPP part to get ideas I was wishing that it was a little faster, which would have suited the 16th note figuring for the solo I had in mind. I think the push/pull thing with the 16ths happened because I was subconsciously trying and make the YPP speed up. But really, it made it easier to stay with the tempo changes in the YPP's part.

You should have felt free to change tempo, change pitch, whatever you needed to do . . .

Yeah, I thought about that but I liked the challenge of playing along with the original. After I stumbled across a couple of sustainable rhythmic figures that seemed to work and sketched out where I wanted the line to go, it all went pretty quick. Just took 4 takes.
