I think that during the solos the background horn part could be tighter... maybe it was just the recording but it sounds kind of half hearted and sleazy. Tyler, I'd like to hear some more ideas from you. The repeated notes and the awesome growling long notes are great for building tension (repition) and resolution (long notes) but build some more ideas around those tactics. and I hope it doesn't sound like I'm bashing on you too much because I don't mean too but when your done with your solo, don't keep playing into the next chorus otherwise I'll (or anyone else) will think that your taking another chorus. Theres nothing wrong with taking an extra chorus, I will do it all the time throughout the year, just commit to it though. Also, getting back into the head was rough, but that was completely my fault, I didn't think about signaling till around two beats into the last bar.
Gah, my darn endurance. Head was good. Rough start to my solo, but I agree with Dom about more confidence in that drum background thing. I think for me it was that I was a bit confused about where we were in the progression, so I was playing them too many times. Dug Dom's solo, despite the rough transition back to the head.
I slipped on a few notes in the beginning, but i think we should work on a getting a little tighter in the beginning. The backgrounds during the solos are cool and we should interact more with them during the solos as well. Overall we all just need to get a little tighter and more confident which will come with time.
It seemed like for the intro we weren't already for it. I've got to come up with some better fills for the space in the head. I agree with Dom on the background horn part. Christian at 1:30ish I should've picked up on what you were doing. My fills were really bad in this. Curran I liked your solo. You had some really cool ideas flowing out. Tyler your solo was very basic and I felt like you could've done more and like played more lines. That really high note was sick though. I feel like you got lost because you kept going into Dom's solo. Dom your solo was sick. We really need to work on the transition out of the solos though because we were incredibly sloppy. Dom you said it was your fault but I disagree I think it was almost unexpected for everyone. Chrisitan it sounded like you were pretty tired by the end. Good ending though.

Thanks for the advice Dom , I'm still trying to get a better idea of what notes work with the different chords and chord changes
