Hi guys!

And yes...the rumors are true! I finally reveal how you can record awesome collaboration takes, even when you have no inspiration at all.

I don't wanna spoil this once in a lifetime experience, so I will just say:

Thanks to my special guests

Enjoy!

Christian

Hahaha! Well done man.

Nice cameos from the instructors and Opeth.

Why do I get the feeling Ben wasn't acting though?









By the way, challenge accepted.

Posted by: AK Rich Aug 1 2012, 07:43 PM

Hahahaa that was great Christian! , I seriously had no idea you were going to do this when I jokingly said in the V-chat the you were going to be giving a lesson in the V-chat on how to incorporate Crazy Train into any solo. I swear on my Ibanez I was just joking around and had no idea you were actually going to do this. Awesome job man!

Posted by: Gitarrero Aug 1 2012, 07:47 PM

Posted by: Gitarrero Aug 1 2012, 09:12 PM

Haha, cool Cosmin

Thank you for taking part in this crazy project

Posted by: bleez Aug 1 2012, 10:55 PM

LMFAO! that was genuinely hilarious! comedy gold, dude.
although, slightly worrying just how much I identified with most of those characters!

classic stuff

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 2 2012, 02:22 AM

hahaha I love it!! Great video mate! Thanks for inviting me to participate.

Posted by: Todd Simpson Aug 2 2012, 03:24 AM

Nice! Really funny and entertaining Is this your first comedy/sketch vid? I'd say keep making them to hone your craft! The pacing could be a bit tighter for comedy and maybe a background music track/sound fx for emphasis etc. But all these things are just little bits that happen as you go. There are tons of great sketch comedy guys on youtube. Find one you like and maybe email them and hit them up for their secret sauce tips!

Posted by: Ben Higgins Aug 2 2012, 08:53 AM

Oh man, this is just Brilliant !! Christian you deserve an award for that ! Your presentation skills are natural.. love it !

The suit really plays, man !

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Aug 2 2012, 01:36 PM

THE SUIT! Yes indeed

Should I try wearing a suit while shooting a lesson in the future?

Posted by: Yash Aug 2 2012, 02:23 PM

Oh man.... I keep away from the forums for 18 hours, and so much happens

Christian, amazing video.. I laughed a lot. I'll use the trick when I take part in a collab Let me get my laptop and some cable or something else to connect my guitar to the laptop

Yes, I'll try to get in the vid too We'll both wear suits I love wearing suits Some say I look cool in a suit

Posted by: Mudbone Aug 2 2012, 02:37 PM

Haha! How did I miss this one yesterday? That was awesome I must admit, I was expecting a leotard instead of a suit

Posted by: Ben Higgins Aug 2 2012, 02:44 PM

Yeah.. missed opportunity !

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Aug 2 2012, 02:44 PM

And a tutu alongside the leotard

Posted by: Gitarrero Aug 2 2012, 04:48 PM

Thanks my friend Haha...yeah, I didn't really have to invent these characters, I just played myself



Thanks for taking part in this



Thanks Todd! It was indeed my first try at comedy, though all of my friends keep saying I should become a comedian...though I'm more of a spontaneous comedian. But it was fun shooting the vid, so there might be more in the future




Thanks Ben, yes I'm a natural presenter I'll make sure to wear my suit and my Demon Slayer costume more often in collab videos



Absolutely!



Thank you son Let's do a video collab, just the two of us wearing suits I think you're a natural suit guy as well, just like me.



Thanks buddy...look out for more videos...I might wear the leotard one day




Maybe if there'll ever be a lesson called "Fairy's Dance" and I do a rec take for it...oh wait

Posted by: Yash Aug 2 2012, 05:08 PM

Sure, we'll do the war song in suits But, since its a war song... maybe we should do it.. ummm... Shirtless (Look at the main character of the song/game)

Posted by: HungryForHeaven Aug 2 2012, 05:28 PM

Man, this is great entertainment!

Posted by: Gitarrero Aug 2 2012, 05:43 PM

Thanks HFH

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Aug 2 2012, 07:12 PM

Hey chris, i think you should be more serious while demonstrating ur arguments!!
Did u ever used a crazy train for some collab?

Posted by: Opetholic Aug 2 2012, 07:13 PM

I can answer the question, and I think Ben can as well Yes he has, many times

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Aug 2 2012, 07:20 PM

Is that SYmphony X in background Opetholic?

I can't stop laughing by looking at Ben's face when he says "Crazy train, not again!!!!"

Posted by: Yash Aug 2 2012, 07:34 PM

And Cosmin's too Not Crazy Train ??? and then the STARE

Posted by: Gitarrero Aug 2 2012, 07:49 PM

Once I even won a GMC competition because I threw in crazy train Kris wrote me back then "The way I was able to sneak in a classic rock riff made this a winning take"

And yes Slav, I used it in the last couple of Ben's collabs. I will also use it in the 90's collab, since it's in F#m

And as I announced on facebook:

Starting this september, I will not use this riff again in a collab!
So you guys will have to carry on for me.
I will however use it in every collab in August and hereby declare this August the official Crazy Train month here at GMC!

Posted by: jessi Aug 2 2012, 07:58 PM

Yes PLEASE!



Du bist echt kreesi verrückt! Very funny!!!

Posted by: Ben Higgins Aug 2 2012, 07:58 PM

Do you think that once you've got everybody to use Crazy Train that you will turn your attention to another classic rock/metal riff and try to use that in every collab as well ??

Posted by: Gitarrero Aug 2 2012, 08:04 PM

Haha, vielen Dank



I just said I will never use the riff again, starting this september.
I can not confirm to use another classic riff.
I will not deny it either

Posted by: casinostrat Aug 2 2012, 11:57 PM

This was great! Thanks for sharing! Now I'm goin' to have to finally get around to learning that riff.....

Posted by: DeGroot Aug 3 2012, 07:20 AM

That was gold!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Aug 3 2012, 07:34 AM

Platinum, more likely

Posted by: PosterBoy Aug 3 2012, 08:03 AM

Awesome

Who said German's don't have a sense of humour?

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Aug 3 2012, 08:58 AM

He's not really a German, i actually think he's Polish

BTW, I've find out that MARILYN Manson Already used this riff and modified it a bit in his collab !!!

Posted by: spacebran Aug 3 2012, 09:13 AM

haha good job on the video - gave me a laugh.

Posted by: Ben Higgins Aug 3 2012, 09:24 AM

Ok, so we will have to wait and see !

Posted by: Gitarrero Aug 3 2012, 01:00 PM

Thanks And it is really easy to learn



Thanks a lot



And thanks even more



Yeah, who said that???




Uhm...no...I'm as german as anyone can be



Thanks, glad to hear that


Yes...you might be the first one to get surprised by a classic riff

Posted by: Ben Higgins Aug 3 2012, 01:15 PM

He's as German as a Lederhosen wearing Oompah band starting exactly on time and playing everything perfectly with precision.

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Aug 4 2012, 09:17 AM

I have no idea how to picture this Ben

Posted by: HungryForHeaven Aug 4 2012, 09:23 AM

Something like this?



(They don't seem to be German, though! )

Posted by: Nether Aug 4 2012, 10:42 AM

Hahaha, hilarius and very useful. I'll totally gonna give it a shot.
I have already learned the lick, now i just need to find a collab...

Posted by: Gitarrero Aug 4 2012, 10:51 AM

Thanks, glad to hear that nether

I'm sure Ben and Cosmin are already working on new collabs...the view new posts button is your friend

Christian

Posted by: snackajacks Aug 4 2012, 03:34 PM

Haha christian I love this video !
I think I am going to set Ben's " Crazy train, ah not again " as my new ringtone

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Aug 4 2014, 11:25 AM

Hehe this is a classic indeed, I think it deserves a bounce in case people need some collab inspiration. (plus, let's face it, bouncing is fun )

Thanks for a great chat last week Christian!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 5 2014, 08:16 PM

Christian, that video is what the word EPIC was invented for!!
Well played Sir, well played!!
And to all your co-collaborators I say "Bravo chaps!!"

I think Ben would have been picturing it more like this:-
