Space Shooter tune.

I decided to make a small tune based on a theme, a space shooter game..

Right now it's mostly a demo of a song..  but I am surprised and happy with what I could achieve in just 2 hours using garageband. It's encouraging.

If I get positive feedback, I will redo the whole song and do a proper intro/outro. I will also redo the solo as right now it's very bad and it's only a big "spacer" for later.

Anyway, here it is, tell me what you think.

Godin Freeway Classic and GarageBand

A small tune made with GarageBand and my Godin Freeway Classic..

Minor Pentatonic Scale

Here are some interesting schemas I just did, it's the minor pentatonic scale in the key of A

So here are all the notes :

If you want to play in the key of B for example, just switch everything 2 fret to the right.. it's that simple.

To make it easier to remember, I suggest you learn each of those shape and then try to connect them in a horizontal way or else you might feel that you are stuck in those patterns.

This scale is very common in popular music so it's a very good one for someone who wants to learn songs by ear. A lot of solo are made using that scale, Stairway to Heaven from Led Zeppelin,  One from Metallica.. Hendrix was using it a lot.

Btw, in this scale, just add a flat 5 (b5) , in this case it's a D# and you have the minor blues scale.

Pattern 1 :

Pattern 2 :

Pattern 3 :

Pattern 4 : 

Pattern 5 : 

Come back and I'll add more scales and modes.

Godin Freeway Classic

This Guitar is made in Quebec, some part are shipped to the USA and it's assembled there. I think it's to avoid having to pay for custom fee because of the electronics.

I did pay 580 CA$ for that guitar, it's a steal if you consider the quality.

The pickup are Godin's and they sound full and amazing, I am not sure but I think they are in fact made by Seymour Duncan. I'll post some video or some sound sample soon to let you hear the different pickup position on that guitar

I chose that model because I believe it's a very versatile guitar. At first, the metal player in me was afraid but after a few minutes I quickly realized that this guitar has nothing to envy to those metal axes.

The neck is a bit smaller than a Fender Strat, it's really comfortable for both classic rock, shred.. anything you want.

I highly recommend you to try a Godin guitar before you decide to buy that fancy and thin Ibanez or that too expensive  Les Paul.
