SAD AMP 6

This was take 6 with the mix.
The sound is obviously better as I recorded through the H4 with an Mp3 of the video SM did.
The interesting thing is when I started I kept thinking mostly in A minor whereas the longer I worked on it and the more takes I did it became more apparent that I had to think G major and F major as well.
Usually you think you can fudge the solo with a Dorian scale or maybe with a lot of pentatonics thrown in. But as you work on it more, your ear becomes more attuned and forced to admit that there's more than one key going on.
This is why it gets tiresome to hear shredding on these kinds of progressions. it all sounds the same if you shred.
Well I'm finding it all sounds the same if you dont shred too.
What I mean is that any stle will bring you into dead end places where it seems you can't come up with anything new.
it usually takes 6 or 7 times for me to come up with something I feel I can release in this informal forum.
Hope you enjoy this version of SM's Sad Ballad |Aminor |Gmajor |FMajor| Gmajor|.
