Questions Song Options

[daman23]

Hello, what scale is in this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA0KoQOjbxU...feature=related
How do I get backing track? Can I remove the guitar sound? possible?

How can I guess my way to it?

[Cosmin Lupu]

There are some programs that can remove a certain layer - mainly used for creating karaoke versions out of original recordings dunno if they work with guitar tunes though.

Anyway, excellent choice! I love Marco's work!

I love that song, need to play it with backing track, atleast play 2 min, then play something myself the rest. Please help me regarding this matter!

I need to know scales in the song. How do I guess my way to it?

First thing - the time signature is 7/8 (divided like this: 123 12 12, try and count listening to the piano backing) the approach that i would use would be to first figure out the harmony played by the piano.

I never tried it, but after i finish with the stuff i have to work on till the end of July, I'll give it a good listen and let you in on the harmonic progressions of the song if I can figure them out myself

Cheerios!

Okej not really into theory after quitting classical guitar. I learned the spanish "Leyenda" as a final classic exam before hitting elecrtic, but then my teatcher quit =( So Im learning on my own. Im playing simple stuff with others but learn hard techniques here at GMC.

Anyway, gonna put a new project thread about this song.

Also I will buy backing tracks? Do I get them all? I hope marco still sells them cause I just payed him =)

Mate, if you want to learn something, it doesn't matter how simple or complicated it is, but if you understand the theory behind it, you'll be much more confident and you'll know what you're doing there. Marco's songs are progressive oriented so they have thick theory behind them - they'll provide awesome learning experience once you get to understand what's behind them. I guess you already knew that, but i just wanted to remind you Let me know once you get the tracks and we'll analyze them if you wish!

Yes I know I just said I will need some help with the theory!
Why isnt all this backing tracks flooding over the internet? Is it impossible to upload them perhaps?
I Hope I get all backing tracks of "New Hope" album.

Oh, probably folks just didn't want to disrespect Marco by throwing his stuff around the internet, or I have no clue.. Did you purchase all the backing tracks on the album?

I've got a friend who used to communicate with Marco a few years ago, when Marco wasn't all that famous yet. You may be lucky and maybe he will send the tabs over that would be very interesting, so please let me know

[Ivan Milenkovic]

Unfortunately I don't have a guitar with me here on holidays, but I managed to get the key, the song is in C minor (Eb major) key, here's the fretboard pic you can use for jamming:



however, tonality changes later in the song a bit, as far as I can notice, not sure about the chords, but it seems that two more scales are being used, one is C dorian, and other is C harmonic minor (specially when the keyboard solo kicks in)






Since all three of these scales are very similar (they have many common notes), you can try to mix & match and see if you can come up with something interesting. By matching then you can get some cool chromatic moves, and still stay in key, for example using this type of lick will work nicely:

CODE

E||------------8-11-9s-10---||
B||--8-9-10-11------------8-||
G||-------------------------||
D||-------------------------||
A||-------------------------||
E||-------------------------||

let us know if we can help with this further!
