New MP3 - and a request for feedback

[DRH]

Hello all,

here is another mp3 I put together over the weekend.

http://members.cox.net/litswitz/dhsng9.mp3

This may be a stupid question but..
This solo was a real problem for me. I'm trying for something slow and melodic. To me this effort sounds kind of well, "lifeless or distant" I don't really know how to describe it, but it doesn't grab me, as if it is missing something. Any comments on how this can be improved?

thanks
DRH

lay back on the timing and put some serious vibrato in there...you'll like it better...nice composition...d.m.

Sounds decent. It sounds like you play the whole thing in the same area on the fretboard. That is probably your problem. And every phrase comes back to the same note as the last one did. It needs to progress more. Think of it as a book or a movie; you need an intro, a build-up, a climax and then a resolution. I hope that makes sense. Try moving around on the fretboard a little more also. Use bends and vibrato as much as possible. Try to throw some harmomics in their if you can too. Those always catch a person attention.

I'm no expert at soloing but if you try to include as many of those ideas as you can It should spice it up a bit.

Good luck.
