No problem, Will upload it here soon

No prob, I've been busy lately as well, this week I will try to put something together

Any updates guys?

Sounds like we have the song structure almost figured out, I want like one more section for a bridge where the song reaches a climax

Any ideas

I like the sound, this gets subjective sometimes, we will deal with the mixing when have the song completed, and this is where we will have to work hard, we need as many takes as it is necessary to make this sound great. What I mean is if that a lead or a riff needs to be recorded again, we record it again.

I mean right after we went down with no drums, when the drums come back in it should lift up but I wonder if it would be best to be somewhere in between so that there is more contrast when the chorus kicks in

Good Stuff Audiopaal, The structure of the song is already complete, It just came to my mind if we should keep it down in the verses or at least in the first one, what do the rest think?

Paul Gilbert uses a combination of hammer ons and alternate when doing patterns like these. He will probably alternate pick the first three notes and hammer on the next three, or the other way around, I believe he does this in songs like Colorado Bulldog, and sounds great, give that a try it might even make it easier, not at first because you have to retrain the hand not to alternate pick some of the notes, but once you get it you will save energy and sound more Gilbertish

Hey Guys I am here

I've looked at your posts, still waiting for audiopaal's new recording

I say in the meantime we could be working on other ideas, but I just don't want to have a bunch of unfinished ideas all over

I agree with Emir here, playing guitar fast is a challenge and all of us at one point or another pursue it, however sometimes we take away musicality for the sake of playing fast, when I listen to SRV I understand that playing bluesy slower licks is more difficult and challenging.

What was said by Emir on another post is absolutely true it is very hard to play a single note very slowly with the right amount of vibrato and feel



Thanks for including me in your list, you have put me amongst my favorite shredders




Again very true, I see new shredders on you tube that play fast but that is all

So this is my suggestion, I had to do some drums and stuff so that you get the idea, but Audiopaals drums are fine.

So after the intro we start with the main riff, and everything should sound big, right after when the guitar goes down I say we do the riff with palm muting, I changed it a little bit but doesn't have to be this way.

The idea is to bring the song down, then the guitars come in as audiopaal played them. I had the thought that the chords should be changing so I played the riff but changed the root. This can probably be done only by the bass, the chord progression I used is a very simple one, but works, however suggestions are welcomed.

I Agree with Iluha here, it is good stuff for a chorus or like a bridge. Verses should be more laid back, we want to have contrast between chorus and verses. Normally by singing lower and more laid back on the verses and by bringing out the agressive vocals or higher pitch in the chorus.

Or maybe this could be one of the verses but later on.

Awesome audiopaal great stuff, not much I could add, I'll start jamming along to your stuff see what I come up with

By the way what software do you use?

I agree lets work on Audiopaal's first idea

I already would like to start working on some of the ideas I've heard, however we were all supposed to post something

I set the click to 100 bpm and started spitting out riffs, I selected 2 for what I think could be like an intro, and a verse

It is sloppy, but you get the idea, the second riff seems a little hard to play, just came out so I have to practice it myself

here it is

Awesome stuff audiopaal

The first one is already a tune for me

My brother says that if there were no women he could not write songs

Iluha like your Ideas. Number 3 sounds to me that it could be turned into a cool guitar instrumental

Muntahunta your stuff is great as well, more on the rock side, I already have something in mind for those

Cool stuff guys

Seems like we are up for a good start, I'd suggest diving into it as soon as possible, lets start creating a tune, any ideas riffs, lyrics, rhythm that you guys have that would like to see transformed in to a song, we can start uploading stuff and we take it from there.

I have a few riffs and ideas I am going to share as well, and see what we make of them

So members of the Ultimate GMC virtual band, lets see if we can make up our minds about the type of music we will be creating. The influences seem to vary, but at least it is all rock right.

I like almost all types of rock, but we want to feel comfortable with what we are doing. I would like to be original in what we do, and see what kind of sound we create together, we will not always agree but that is part of being in a band.

I'd like to hear references to bands you guys like and what sound you would want to go after, hopefully we create a blend of all our influences and come up with something cool and unique

later

All Right, so lets get things started, to all the ones not selected, do not feel discouraged, The selection was not easy for me took me time to listen to things each one of you could offer to the band, and all of you would be assets, but want to keep the number of members short for the time being.

Iluha - Bass
muntahunta - Vocals
colonel drew - Guitars and background vocals
Audiopaal - Guitars, mixing, drum programming
Myself - Guitars, keyboards, mixing, drum programming

So for now this is our lineup, Just a few things to say about each member and why I selected them. Remember guys we are going to give this our best work possible, we will be requesting multiple takes on stuff, we want this to be part of the face of GMC so we have to present the GMC Ultimate Virtual band to the best of our ability.

Iluha- your clips showed good quality recordings, timing wise it was a little weird because there was no metronome, however I feel confident that you will deliver good solid bass lines.

Muntahunta - Your vocals are punchy and modern, glad you auditioned, The recordings showcased your vocal abilities, however the recordings could be better, and that is what we will concentrate on doing here

Cololel Drew - Your guitar playing is great, if the compositions on the websites are yours let me tell you you have some great stuff going, your riffs have good timing and sound solid, your vocal abilities can also help us a lot.

Audiopaal - Your track was very well recorded, was impressed by the quality, solid recording and performance. Your mixing, drum programming skills come in handy, great to have you on board

Myself - Well I will take care of doing some guitar work, some keyboards as we didn't get an audition for one, I will mix program drums as well, but mostly expect the work to be done by you guys.

Lets get started, I will start a new thread for

I've been waiting to get as most applicants as possible. But it is wrapping up, I have made my mind about a few members already, posting results soon

Cool Stuff guys, I guess we won't have more submissions, so I'll start going over all uploads. Doesn't mean it is closed, if we get more uploads they will be considered, but I want to get things started

Good luck guys

Cool audiopaal, looking forward to hearing it

I like what I am hearing so far, keep them coming guys
