Well this is a bloody good start. When you went into Phrygian it sounded very eastern Mediterranean, Middle Eastern type music. I thought that it was very clever and enjoyed it. Welcome to the forum challenge!

Great job on your first challenge, Jay! Hope to hear many more from you. Well done and thanks for sharing! Welcome to Active Melody! You have found an incredible learning resource and one of the best online communities that I have ever been a part of. Enjoy!

Very nice job.

Really cool, reminds me a late 60’s San Fransisco scene music.
Lights.

You did a cool take on that, really liked that modal feel you gave it…

Really nice smooth take on this Jay.

Congrats to your first submission! Well done!

Nice video, well played.

Very cool Jay, kind of like a mix of 60s psychedelic rock and Clint Eastwood movie tunes (in a very good way). You will make Sam Andrew proud! Very creative and nicely done. Hide

There was some good playing in there. Well paced and lots of nice variations. Very cool composition. Don’t hear much phrygian mode! (Phrygian sounds like something out of one those old Conan The Barbarian movies.) I enjoyed your work on this jam track.

Really fine submission for your first challenge Jay. Liked how you smoothly slipped in the modal changes. Very cool, it always sounds like a car crash when I try to do it!

Cracking debut to your am challanges

Part of the learning curve is all the audio video editing stuff

Nicely done and very enjoyable

This is a great submission. Nice use of hook and call and response. The song really tells a story.

Hey man, the longer that piece went on, the better it sounded. That was very impressive! Love the high quality tone and clean riffs. Excellent!!

Memories awaken. Definitely the end of the 1960s. Nice video and played well.

Jay,
I like how your riffs and licks bring the chords together. Great job on the music and video.

Hi Jay, this was great, I love the vibe of it 🙂

The video production was top-notch, too. In fact, I think this is the best way to showcase music here. The only thing I would do differently is to simply copy and paste the link to your video on its own separate line. If you do so, we can watch it here on the forum instead of being redirected to Youtube.

Thanks for sharing and welcome to the challenges, Jay.

Nice playing!

First huh? Dang, nothing rookie bout this. Well done!

Another interesting take , very sci-fi and atmospheric, congrats on your first challenge submission keep em coming . Well played

Great job, Jay. Very interesting composition. I think I mess around with phrygian about once every two years, but you’ve done a great job of applying it to this jamtrack. Glad you figured out how to upload stuff to Youtube. A couple of hints: If you upload as Public instead of Unlisted, then members can watch/listen to it from within the forum web page, rather than being re-directed to Youtube. If you are worried about trolls commenting on your video, you can just turn off comments. However I’ve never had a single negative comment in the 6 years since I’ve been posting videos. Also, if you put the link on a separate line with a space above and below it in your post, then the thumbnail will show up in your post.

Great improvisation Jay.. that was fantastic man. Loved the harmonized 3rds.

Great production, Jay! I really like your sound and the variation in your licks, you did so great not to stay in the minor pentatonic scale, like I use to do! Looking forward to your next posts.

Best regards,
Patrick
