Is my new sound better? Tell me what you think!

I've posted a new video on youtube. I have tried to take your suggestions given in the "I want a critique" thread and put them to practical use. My playing may not have gotten better, but hopefully the sound has! The hat is gone too!

Thanks SlickCat for viewing my playing! Before I asked anyone to evaluate my videos, you are the first one to say what I thought before anybody said anything! I didn't post SOYCD, because I played it as a filler to my dvd, but I liked the tone too. Pink Floyd Money was my best effort so far . I wanted Roy Buchanan to be my best video , but the tone s_cks and I'll have to do another to make amends to Roy!

79LP, just checked out some of your youtube vids. Great playing, crunch on green onions is to die for IMO, sounds like that Roy B sound but with a tad bit of modern feel too. Oh, and I like your style too man...keep rockin'

I thought it was slightly treblie too, but I am a bass monster so that could just be me too.

It was a nice blues jam, you definitely had the right 'feel'

Some advice to your playing, I noticed from the way you played lead that it perhaps something to do with the way you are learning blues scales or chord tones, not sure which you play along to, seemed like you were playing blues pentatonics to me.

You seem to have learned Scales the way someone tried to teach me a few years ago, which was different to the way I taught them to myself. So you probably better off then I am since you got the right way first, this way isn't actually considered right, but I find it increases freedom on the neck for some players.

Think of Scales as Shapes that fill the fretboard, then think of them as connecting shapes. Your movements seemed locked into the 'known' movements in pentatonic scales.

GUITAR SCALES

Will show you the entire scale laid out on the neck (any scale you like) and this will hopefully show you how the scales connect together like two joints in carpentry..or tracks in a scaletrix if that helps.

I think once you look at them on the fretboard as a whole, you will be able to find movements within those scales that aren't sorta recognised by everyone immediately as 'the' movements of the scale and will help you improvise stuff that doesn't sound as rigid.

Hope you don't take all this criticism the wrong way, I wish someone would spend this amount of time telling me how to improve my playing to be honest

Yeah Fong....you are absolutely right. I did that video last year and wish I could change alot of things about it. I think I have moved further in the right direction scale wise. Go to the "Members Recordings-Let's hear from you" Forum and click to page 2 . There will be My latest video "Eric Clapton style blues jam video". See what you think! Thanks for taking the time to critique my playing....especially in such a polite and constuctive way!
