I've got a nice backing track I've been working with for weeks, but nothing's clicking. So I figured I'd focus on something else for a bit.

I haven't cracked how to get a convincing guitar solo yet, but I figured I'd start with this. My son's suggestion was actually for me to have less notes, and add more expression to what's there. I was a bit lazy in that area and relied on the samples to do too much work.

I don't generally use diminished chords that much, and now I've got that stepwise line stuck in my head, where the backing track does an E Fdim/F#m B chromatic movement. So I guess I'll be sneaking in more of those in the future.

Thanks for listening! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
