Nanking’s Revenge
October 3rd, 2010Epiphone Saves the Day
I can’t figure the guitar out. Tonight I tried to record a solo I’m working on, and my timing and intonation were horrible when I used my exquisite Fujigen-made History ES335. Then I picked up my $500 Epiphone Riviera from China, and I sounded worlds better. The pickups are too dull-sounding, but the guitar itself is great.
I’ll see if I can post an MP3. My timing is still pretty crazy, but I’m hitting the notes most of the time.

I had to change the file after I realized I left like half a measure out of the first version.

That’s pretty jammin!

Well, thanks. If I don’t have a reference I tend to play too fast, and it seems like my timing always gets very choppy when a recording device is on, but at least I have the skeleton of the solo in place.

Not bad Steveo!

Maybe a drum machine would help with timing?
