Texas Picker August 3rd, 2012, 08:38 PM This is a solo I played over AIN'T NO SUNSHINE by Bill Withers at a gig awhile back. A friend caught it on her iPhone. Not my best solo ever, but its one of the few that was captured and I can go back an listen to.
I was playing a G&L Legacy Special thru a '68 Bassman head and a Dr Z 2x12 cabinet.

Jostein August 3rd, 2012, 09:59 PM Sounds very good! Very tasteful and nice phrasing, great feel.
Lunchie August 4th, 2012, 12:29 AM Sounds good... what speakers are in the Dr Z Cab? I am not familiar with Dr Z...
thorton077 August 4th, 2012, 12:50 AM Sounds really cool.
Albertwang August 4th, 2012, 03:22 AM great playing, great taste, great tone...I also play this song and I decided with the rest of the band to not stop playing at the end of the chorus during the solo...this is the only thing I dislike...your playing is absolutely great
rusty adam August 4th, 2012, 03:26 AM Very nice - great sounding tone, really love that subtle delay on there.

I've got a couple Celestion blue back speakers in mine.

redstringuitar August 6th, 2012, 06:39 PM Nice! It's always great to hear different approaches to the old favourites.
When covering "Ain't No Sunshine" years ago I used to start the solo by duplicating the first two bars of the vocal melody and swelling into feedback before dropping into my own improvisation....made me feel like I was "saying something".
Not a criticism, I really liked what you did, but sticking to a scale that works with every chord in the riff can start to sound a little amateurish after a while.
H. Mac August 7th, 2012, 06:07 PM Really nice.
Texas Picker August 27th, 2012, 07:24 AM Thanks guys.
Hearing seeing this clip makes me realize I sound a lot better when I leave more space between phrasing. Makes me want to record more of my live playing - so I can hear what works & what doesn't. If my daughters or wife come to future gigs, I may try to get them to record as many solos as they can on their phones so I can go back and hear what it is I'm doing. "The tape don't lie"
djphelan01 September 1st, 2012, 11:29 AM Sounds good and I really liked your tone. Good job!
