Any1 in Jazz band?

[Breeze]

I play guitar in my 7th and 8th grade jazz band. We just recently had our second festival, and we got four superior ratings and two +superior ratings which are rarely given out We were the only band out of 30+ jazz bands (middle and high) to get the +superior. Fun fun.

Here are two of the 3 songs we did
Oye coma va (I did the guitar solo)

hey, good job! great to see young talent & other musicians on this forum! you guys have aton of potential? did you improvise the parts of that solo? some pretty nice runs! ive been a part of the toronto jazz scene since i was 14, playing guitar since i was 7. went on to producing hiphop(yup from jazz to hip hop.lol actually made some samples used by justblaze for jay electronica tracks. now im playing in a soul type band at local places downtown t.dot. anyways, keep up the good work! i love to see young guitar players actally playing music instead of playing boring ass muted power chords in some shitty metal band. keep playin dude!

thanks, yea the whole thing is improvised, well all of my solo's are improvised and thanks, those boring muted poer chords are easy, but getting boring fast, but not blues and Jazz

thats the ony way to go wen soloing jazz & blues all the way. not to cut up all metal, but u know what i mean. over here when we improvise live, its called drippin that hotsauce on the track! them tasty notes! jazz & blues get even more fun wen you start dropping those roots into your own more modern songs, whatever the genre. i personally love playing with a dj, bassist, keys, mpc player, drummer, singer & rapper! i miss playing with a brass or string section tho. so powerful! keep bangin out that music! peace young homie!
