GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Let's Talk With Our Guitars !
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 3 2012, 10:29 AM
Hey Guys, have you ever thought what it would sound like if a conversation between 2 people was recreated on a guitar ???
Well, now is our chance to put it into practice. First, we will decide what the phrase will be. Then, out of several volunteers, I will nominate 1 person to record their version of their guitar imitating that phrase. Then we will choose the response to that phrase and I will nominate another person to record that one.. and on it goes !
To start us off, I have recorded the opening phrase of the conversation, which is
Hello !
Hello.mp3 ( 40.39K )
: 293
Now, let's decide what the response will be and then we will choose who records it ! First come, first serve ! 
Posted by: Dieterle May 3 2012, 10:43 AM
Wow this is a great idea like to be with it !
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 3 2012, 10:44 AM
Ok Dieter, what do you think the next phrase should be ? When someone says Hello, what is usually the next phrase that follows it ? In German it might be Wie Geht's so what would the English term be ?
Posted by: Dieterle May 3 2012, 10:58 AM
How are you !
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 3 2012, 12:21 PM
Yes.. ok, it's decided. The next phrase will be 'How are you ?'
Dieter, would you like to volunteer for recording this ?
Posted by: thefireball May 3 2012, 12:28 PM

Posted by: Ben Higgins May 3 2012, 12:43 PM

Ok, does anybody have an idea for the next response in this conversation ?

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 4 2012, 04:34 PM
Hahahah what a great idea!
I can definitely hear those words in your phrases.
Posted by: derper May 4 2012, 08:09 PM
I would love to jump into this conversation as well. VERY interested to hear the final piece, although this will probably take a bit to get completed to an entire conversation! Fun idea Ben!
Posted by: Sensible Jones May 4 2012, 08:38 PM
Here's Walter Trout having a conversation through his guitar!!!!
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 4 2012, 09:00 PM
I can definitely hear those words in your phrases.
Haha, cool.. that's what we're hoping to achieve. There's always room for some bass phrases as well !
Go for it, Man

Haahha great topic !!!
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 5 2012, 10:03 AM
Does anybody want to nominate themselves for the next phrase ? I'm sure C-Maestro has been busy so in the interests of keeping this going, one you guys can step in and do it...
Something like 'I'm good, thank you' or if you have another suggestion please write it in Bold above your audio clip
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 5 2012, 11:21 AM
Busy, but not too busy to submit today 
and in order to compensate, he will think of more phrases
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 5 2012, 11:28 AM
and in order to compensate, he will think of more phrases That's cool man, there will be opportunities for all as it will be an ongoing conversation. It will be interesting to see where it will eventually lead !

Posted by: Todd Simpson May 10 2012, 03:16 AM
Very cool topic Maybe it would make a good collab? Maybe use Bens starter can be the question and everyone can make a response? Sort of "Call and Response" with guitar for voice?
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 10 2012, 07:40 AM
This could be an idea if it's on the loose, I'm in for certain
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 10 2012, 09:35 AM
Maybe it would make a good collab? Maybe use Bens starter can be the question and everyone can make a response? Sort of "Call and Response" with guitar for voice?Well, I thought when we have a good convo at the end of it I can make one video with all the audio files and subtitles !
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 10 2012, 10:12 AM
- ' you know what ?
- I feel sooooo good
So this was the last phrase we had. To keep the convo going.. and to open up the possibilities of where it could go.. I'm going to choose the next Phrase to be recorded and one of you guys can record it !
So, what are you doing today ?
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi May 10 2012, 10:21 PM
hey! where is everybody? Can't wait to hear this phrase recorded!
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 11 2012, 08:35 AM

I'm having real trouble playing these sound files since yesterday. I'm not sure if it's quicktime or not... the page just keeps loading but nothing happens 
Posted by: vonhotch May 13 2012, 12:23 AM
I am able to play them, but mine open in a windows media player window.
This is an awesome thread, can I play too?
I want pizza too!
You can have some of mine, I think I'm allergic to pizza!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi May 13 2012, 12:52 AM
I want pizza too!
hahahah great one! but there is no more pizza!
Posted by: maharzan May 13 2012, 01:45 AM
Yep Ben, I can't play files uploaded to GMC. I guess the server is acting weird. Even if I download, it takes so much time.
HoHoHoHoHoHo... You Pizza suckers!!! I m going to get a donut!
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 15 2012, 03:31 PM
Finally, I can play these files !! Guys, they rock
We've established that we're either going for a donut.. or pizza. But what are we going to do afterwards ??? 
I've heard that there is something called a GMC Fortress...
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 26 2012, 10:35 AM
Guys, does anybody remember the convo where our guitars talked for us ?
We were going to buy donuts or pizza but we never established what we were doing afterwards....
