Next time you should do blues, or a happy melody.... Depressive music tend to make the listener depressive ^^

Very good on-the-fly playing. You should record them in midi Smile

Very nice! this song didn't make me depressed at all, you've got a nice alberti bass pattern going on. The melody line and the chord changes were very sweet to the ears Smile

the only thing i could complain about is sometimes the rhythm sounded a bit ..."mushy"?? it seemed like some of your notes were getting cut off which made it feel a tad rushed, i noticed you started speeding up from the beginning to the end, was all that planned? either way you did an amazing job and all those things aren't too important, they're just nit picky!

the overall impression is great i'd give you 8 out of 10 on this improv, great work! I hope you keep going! I think you've got some natural talent for this!

Great improvisation buddy, I enjoyed it. I'm also a fan of minor scales, they're very touching and emotional, which is what I love in music!

The only thing I can say thats not positive about this improvisation is the rhythm, and I'm going to agree with exactly what Andrew said. Other than that, it's beautiful and I hope you make more! Very Happy

Thanks man, you liking it means alot to me, all you guys, since your 1000x more experienced than me, it means alot... Very Happy

I know the rhythm was a bit shitty Razz And I think the reason why it got raised during the video was because I got a bit to excited :p

Hey no worries about the rhythm, we're all still learning! It's just a process! You've got the right attitude to continue to grow and become better. Smile Any idea's for the next improv?

I think you start improvising to your favorite songs, and post a video! There's an idea.

Well yeah... I was thinking about three titles... Depending on the title i'll choose I'm guessing different music will come out of the improv...

1. "Sunshine"

2. "A brothers love"

3. "It's gonna be okay"
