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
Now, let's decide what the response will be and then we will choose who records it ! First come, first serve !

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 ?

How are you !

Yes.. ok, it's decided. The next phrase will be 'How are you ?'
Dieter, would you like to volunteer for recording this ?

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!

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

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 !

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

- Ahahahahaha - ' 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 ?
