Hi there! I'm Cartoon network freak and my GAN review for your nomination is going to arrive soon. Best, Cartoon network freak (talk) 17:30, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Guitar is a solo studio album by American jazz guitarist Sonny Sharrock. → remove "solo"

Why? Dan56 (talk) 00:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

is it his fifth album? Include a number

I don't know. There's no source verifying the chronology. Dan56 (talk) 00:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

recorded the album → recorded it
from critics → from [[music journalism|music critics]]
When Guitar was released → Upon the release of Guitar
who praised → who acclaimed
playing → his playing
by rock critic → by The Village Voice writer
jazz writer → jazz critic
said it → felt it

Are these just suggestions? Dan56 (talk) 00:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Is the exact release date known?

No. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The recording place is written a little bit weak (sorry!), try to change it like it is displayed here
fusion → jazz fusion

Ok. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may use a flat list; look here

I don't follow. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

was viewed → was perceived

That's not really an improvement; the definition of view suits the context more than perceive. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

record Black Woman in → record, Black Woman, in

I think an em dash would be less repetitive of commas, which follow 1969. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ideas: "You → ideas, confessing that "you

It's not really a confession; "recalled" would be more appropriate. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

which nationality is the band?

There is no band. It's Sharrock's "solo" album; only he's playing. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Devils Doll Baby", which featured Sharrock's frenzied slide guitar playing, and → "Devils Doll Baby"—which featured Sharrock's frenzied slide guitar playing—and

Done. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

had late in their careers → had experienced in the edge of their careers.

That's not a grammatical improvement. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Release and reception

beautiful" but → beautiful", but

There's no separation of clause(s) here so a comma isn't necessary; "Sharrock's avant-garde playing" is still being described after "funky and beautiful". Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

well defined → well-defined

Done. Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hyder said his → Hyder confessed that his

It really doesn't make sense to use "confess" anywhere in this article. Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

genres while writing, "throughout → genres, while further writing that "throughout

I rewrote it. Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

next album Seize → add comma after "album"
(1987) could → (1987), could
any listener's → every listener's

"Any" is more appropriate; there's no known quantity of listeners the writer is referring to ([1]) Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

quality, "helping → quality; it "[helped]

I revised it. Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing

All music → All material

That's so vague/confusing. It's music (he wrote). Dan56 (talk) 00:53, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unlink his name

The template page links songwriters/composed. Dan56 (talk) 00:53, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This statement needs to be accompanied by the credits ref.
The list needs a header and a reference see this for an example

I don't see the need--track titles are not contentious (and obviously taken from the same source named in the next section)--and that article is not the best example to draw from, IMO. Dan56 (talk) 00:53, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Personnel

Rename section into "Credits and personnel"

Why?? Dan56 (talk) 00:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may also add "RPM Sound Studios – recording studio"

A recording studio is not a person lol. Dan56 (talk) 00:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Credits are adapted from the album's liner notes. → Credits adapted from the liner notes of Guitar.

That's not a complete sentence. Dan56 (talk) 00:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Outcome

I've put this article On hold for 7 days. Best and good luck with editing, Cartoon network freak (talk) 19:06, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've made changes and responded @Cartoon network freak: Dan56 (talk) 00:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Dan56: Most of them all were suggestions, but gladly passing anyway. Best, Cartoon network freak (talk) 04:52, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
