The Random Guitar Solo Wank-fest Thread!!!!

There are some clips below, but here are some from my current C.D.:

ORIGINAL FUSION (from my C.D. “Freedom”)
Give It Time Scott Jones © 2003 Freedom PAM-1022

ORIGINAL FUSION (from my C.D. “Freedom”)
Convergence Scott Jones © 2003 Freedom PAM-1022 ...I'm playing acoustic drums on this track, as well as guitar, I sequenced the bass part. This is an ALTERNATE TAKE from the actual release.


Anyway, here are some other clips, not released, though I'd like to share them with you; I like to play in a bunch of different styles and these reflect that best:

STRAIGHT AHEAD JAZZ
Sjones-GIANT STEPS 2004 my take on the Coltrane tune

SHRED
Sjones-44 Seconds with Virgil Donati (an unreleased jam I did over one of Virgil's solos from his CD "Stretch")

GYPSY / DJANGO-STYLE
Sjones-All of Me My take of the jazz standard "All Of Me", played from a Django-esque approach. I did the backing track also and produced it to sound "old".

FUSION BALLAD
Sjones-Beck-like Ballad a bit of Beck, Henderson and Holdsworth on this...

MODERN CLASSICAL
Sjones-Modern Classical

COUNTRY
Sjones-COUNTRY PICKIN' TUNE

SMOOTH JAZZ
Sjones-Sanborn Smooth Jazz Jam

MORE STRAIGHT AHEAD JAZZ
Sjones-"Softly As in a Morning Sunrise" a C minor blues-based standard with a cool set of turn-around changes. Fun to play over.

TAPPING-GIANT STEPS (JAZZ)
Sjones-GIANT STEPS All completely tapped...no picking...more of fusion, Holdsworth-ish approach than my other takes.

O COME EMMANUEL
Sjones O Come Emmanuel PERFORMED LIVE AT MY CHURCH (my arrangement with a "Matrix" and "Evanescence" feel...this is totally based on the soundtrack of "Revolutions" and an Evanesence song) I'm the arranger/orchestrator/director/guitarist, electric sitar with choir, orchestra (horns, strings), full contemporary rhythm section; - (there is a tapping solo around 5:00)

KRANTZ-LIKE JAM
Sjones-Krantz-like jam A jam I did in the style of Wayne Krantz.

BLUES
Sjones-BLUES

FUNK/FUSION
Sjones-Brecker Funk Jam

OLD SCHOOL HENDRIX-STYLE SOLO GUITAR
Sjones-Hendrix-ish Solo Piece

MORE TAPPING (ROCK)
Sjones-Legato Jam Rock based solo, mostly tapping on this one, more like Hallebeek than Holdsworth.

JAZZ SOLOING FROM THE STYLISTIC APPROACHES OF SCOFIELD, METHENY AND HENDERSON
Sjones-"Nardis" My take on the Miles Davis tune. I played it as three different approaches, one solo after another in the same track: as Scofield; as Metheny, and the last one as Henderson (with a bit of Landau)...the reharmonization and chord voicings are in the Holdsworth approach.

G3-ish BALLAD
Sjones-Satriani/Vai-ish Ballad

SOLO JAZZ GUITAR (JOE PASS-LIKE)
Sjones-arrangement of Jobim's "Wave" in the style of Joe Pass

BRECKER FUSION (w-BASS SOLO)
Sjones-Brecker jam with guitar and bass solo GUITAR: I recorded the guitar solo first; BASS: I recorded the bass solo second; (no pick, by the way), the rest of the part was already part of the backing track...

MODERN ROCK
Sjones - "On the Way Down" Sjones© 2002 (an original Modern Rock song written with my co-writer and vocalist Mindy back in 2002)

SOLO JAZZ GUITAR (NYLON-STRING)
Sjones-arrangement of "Days of Wine and Roses" -the jazz standard written by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, on my nylon string, no pick, no backing track.

PLANET X-LIKE TUNE w-VIRGIL DONATI
Sjones-Planet-X-like tune (an unreleased song I wrote over three of Virgil's solos from his CD "Stretch"....I'm playing guitar, bass and keys)

Scott

I like your song. Nice guitar work! The beat is really right on and driven.

There is something that may need some work in the vocals, but I am not sure what. Someone else may comment on it.

You have a good song going here.

TRUE :)
 
thanks dude when i recorded this i was still discovering how to use a mic and i had only wrote the song lyrics and sung them like 4 times... i ve since dropped the song from my "set list" lol, its just somethign to wank on now :D lol!!!
 
Wank Wank

WEll here we go:

Wank wank.

Man , these clips are at least 4 or 5 years old. They where the first that I've ever recorded by myself.





Disregard the name 'empire' if you see it. That was just me foolin.

They served their purpose in that they motivated me to excel and push harder than ever... since the quality of these is terrible, the playing isn't that great either. I wasn't in a band, it's just guitar and a drum machine. Didn't really have a style, it really was just wanking. hehe. wank wank.

Have a laugh at these, I do. Of course things are sounding much better nowadays. These simple little dodads where made with Cakewalk and it's internal drum machine i think .. don't really remember. Was using a 30$ pedal and a very cheap guitar .. again don't really remember, those where stressful times.

I will be back tomarrow to have a listen.....you can wank on it, or take it to the wank !! I couldn't resist!! :D
 
Moodswing is awesome. :)

Mellowin out is even moreso times two!!! I love this!! A little shredding too eh? ;) The best of both worlds!!! I am not quite so sure is is exactly mellowin' out though! :D

You might consider adding some vocals to this..it is sooooooooooo good.

Sends chills down my spine!!

I am listening over and over.

TRUE :)
