Introduction Hey Everyone

[edsillars]

Hey,

My name is Ed Sillars and I play guitar, Ive been playing for just over 3 years now. Now Im gona be honest I dont really listen to as much Jazz as I should do (Dave Brubeck is about all the Jazz I do listen to) But I find the Theory behind Jazz inspireing and feel that after learning more about Jazz it will help me in all other aspects of my playing.

Cheers

Ed.

PS. I was Inspired today to write and produce a bit of jazz... as ive sed I dont really know much about it except what sounds "Jazzy" to me. So ive posted it up on my myspace under the name "Jazzy Solo" I would love to hear some feedback on it( as its my first attempt at Jazz) either posted here or on my myspace.

Hi Ed,

Greetings from High Peak.

Nice little solo. When you say write and produce I guess you mean it's not improvised as such?

Hey sorry about that,

The Jazz one hasnt actually uploaded yet as myspace is being slow.

You are probs talking about "solo over backing track" which more of a Rock solo.

Ill post another message when the thing has actually uploaded!

Cheers for the comments anyways

Ed

Very nice quitar playing, Ed. There's something about your phrasing and tone, especially on the rockier of the two solos, that reminds me a little of the guitar playing on the early Steely Dan albums. And that's no bad thing in my book 🙂
