I'll be doing a new song from scratch in which I want to invite you to collaborate with a melody, solo or even a riff if you feel like it.
I HAVE ATTACHED THE ORIGINAL IDEA NOW
The style will definitely be rock/metal, the idea would sort of be like the instructors collab:
Where you can lay down your ideas over an original idea I start.
Your requirement is to be able to record audio AND video. After you have it (mp4 format preferred), just send it to me using yousendit, megaupload, or something like it...(any file sharing website would do)
I might take a shot at it once the song has a bit of structure so I know where to go with it.

No pressures man,
just give me a few days since I've been a bit busy, but yeah, I'm working on it, at least the original idea, you can add in stuff,
I'll post it

Count me in if there is a room
Posted by: Daniel Realpe Feb 15 2011, 05:18 PM
All right dudes,
Here's the initial idea from which you can work on!
Many influences came out in this one, but I'll let you tell me first who do you think they are?
Ok,
- Intro riff is clearly in Bm. Using the pentatonic scale. 0:00-0:24
- Verse riff is chords VI - VII - i - VI - VII - V in F#, meaning:
D - E - F#m - D - E - C#. 0:24-0:47
- Back to intro 1, then verse 2
- Pre-chorus: C#sus4 - C#. 1:22-1:26
- Chorus: 1:26 - 2:03
A - E - D - E
A - E - D - C# x2
- Solo section:
C# Phrygian dominant or F#m harmonic 2:03-2:28
B - A - B - D - F. 2:28-2:41
Eb Phrygian dominant or G#m harmonic 2:41-2:53
- Bridge: 2:53-3:13
D - E - C# x2
F#m - D - E - C#m - Bm - A - C#
- Back to chorus, then intro,
- Ending 4:12-end
B - E - D - G - Db - B
* Come up with your own ideas on top of any parts, it can be just one or many. I left one idea at 0:36, it was spontaneous so I just kept it.
Upload your video to yousendit and send me the link on a PM, and post both the naked guitar track and with the backing for the final mix!
I'm really liking this Daniel, loads of lovely thick chuggy guitar and nice sweeping chords..!! Regards influences I'm not sure... maybe a bit of Children Of Bodom ?
Posted by: Daniel Realpe Feb 15 2011, 09:47 PM
thanks Ben!
yeah, I guess there's some COB in there as well,
Did you think of any ideas already?

Hey Daniel.Here is my take for the intro part.I've sent the video link via pm to you.Hope you like it
Man - what a cool backing Daniel! I can tell the youtube video is going to get a lot of attention - we will if of course promote it as much as possible.
Can't wait to hear how this one will sound
Posted by: Ben Higgins Feb 16 2011, 11:05 AM
Wow, you guys move fast ! I'll have some naughty licks for you soon !!
Posted by: Ben Higgins Feb 16 2011, 01:43 PM
Here are my first ideas !
You may or may not want to use all of it.. or even any of it ! Most of it is at and near the beginning.. and another bit at around 2:52.
I had another idea.. there's a point in the song where the guitars play a savage riff on their own, one on the left then one on the right.. When the rest of the instruments kick in at 2:16 I think we should start a solo trade off section Megadeth style !
Eg. For the first chord progression, Daniel does a solo, when the chords and drums shift somebody else does a solo etc
Another thing, why do we never see Mr Guitar Tube on these collabs, seeing how he's so awesome ?

Nice melodic idea, fits pretty good on that verse!
Yes! solo trade off section would be killer! so if anyone wants to do a solo on the riffs starting at 2:16, we can spin that section around some times,
Feel free to send ideas on any part though,
Looking good!
Let's set a deadline? how about February 27th?

Feb 27th is fine by me. It's the day after my birthday.. so hopefully I'll be wiser by then !

Posted by: Ben Higgins Feb 19 2011, 07:44 PM
Hey Daniel, here is my take for the solo.. it begins at 2:28. Hope you like it !
I've encoded it as an mp4 video file and it's attached to this post as well. Let me know if you want another format it's under 10 Meg so not to big. Its just the start of the song. Which was killer BTW well done!
holy mother of....!! freaking great solo! really loved it!
I'll wait for your video then Thanks!

Posted by: Daniel Realpe Feb 25 2011, 03:50 PM
I'm very excited with takes received so far! You surely put a smile on my face!
I did the solo starting at 2:16, Ben did the solo at 2:28,
So if someone wants to grab the solo starting at 2:41, that'd be superb. I must admit Ben's solo is SICK! but you don't have to be shredding all over on the solo following him. Maybe a nice contrasted slow, bendy solo would really stand out there! (after the madness)
Also if someone wants to try out a part at 1:26 (Chorus section) that'd be great so that we have all parts of the song covered. But feel free to do any part you'd like really, these are only suggestions.

You most definitely can... we've all heard you do it ! It doesn't have to be over the fast bits... I think there's still quite a bit of backing track that needs more guitar parts yet, isn't that right Daniel ?

I just don't know for sure what parts can be played - available to do. Need some direction, please. And is all of this song going to have guitar solos? How will that work?
Posted by: Daniel Realpe Feb 27 2011, 07:27 PM
Hey Fireball,
You don't need to write a solo, you can do a melody over the part at 1:26. Maybe sing something and then translate it on guitar? that's worked for me several times,

Posted by: thefireball Mar 1 2011, 03:46 AM
Is it okay if I somewhat follow the backing a little? I'm having trouble coming up with something. My solo just centers around the backing. It's not like a new melody that complements the backing.

Whew!! After hours and hours of takes I finally came up with one I'm satisfied with. That was a workout! I will send the video link via PM.
In the tracks here, my solo starts at 1:26. The track without the backing is silent until 1:26 also.
I am soooo anxious to see this collab in its final state. No pressure! It's gonna be so awesome! Are you gonna put our channel links in the description on youtube?

Hey Daniel. How is final mix going? Can't wait to see the outcome
Dogukan,
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Mar 22 2011, 05:44 PM
A little update here.
We thought yours (and Daniels) work in this collab was so extremely cool - that it deserved some extra promotion.
Therefore we are thinking about how to add a final touch to this video and do something special with it.
The downside is that it will take some time until you get to see the result (count with at least a couple of weeks) - the good side is that once we get it up we hope a lot of people are going to dig this tune! =)

hey, you didn't guessed the influences on this one. Yeah, Ben said COB, that's true. The other is definitely Carcass, on their Heartwork and Swansong albums. Maybe also Metallica (Chorusy bit), and Symphony X for the fast part.
