Freestyle #1

In this video I am trying to convey the mood and attitude of the Jazz Age in the 1920s in America.

I am very fond of the charming and seductiveness yet dangerous aspect of the age and I am trying to convey those feeling through my guitar playing. However, we could all agree that I need a lot of improvements. I tried playing chords that are right beside each other in order to create that unsettling mood. I tried to make this sound as Jazz as possible, as thick as possible.

I am going to continue and learn this way of playing the guitar and I want to develop and grow more as a guitarist.

Freestyle #2

In this video I am doing a freestyle on 11th chords. I did not use the bass notes so it sounded more like a major chord.

What I was trying to do in this video is imitating guitar samples in daft punk / breakbot songs, funk music. I am very much interested to learn the skill and technique as it is unique and different from any other guitar techniques. They are complicated and intricate yet are able to give a solid backing to the melody.

I am going to learn how to play funk style guitar.
