Hello Guys!! Welcome to my first Video Collab at GMC!
The idea is to make something big! We will use an original song that I composed some time ago to create a GMC Hit. This will be a VideoCollab/VideoClip so you can record yourself playing, singing backing vocals, acting, head banging or doing some funny things. Kris will be recording the lead vocals but we need to write some lyrics for the song. Could you please help us with it? We also need some guitar players that record arrangements, guitar solos, licks, the riffs, some modern noises, whatever you think that could work over this tune. Remember to film youself doing it and to post both the video (mp4 format) and the mp3 file (with and without the backing track). I’m posting the full mix with Kris idea for the chorus and also another shorter file with some ideas (the lyrics has no sense, it’s just a reference) for the voice melodies of the other sections that I have recorded when I first composed the song.. You can use it to write the lyrics or you can suggest other melodic ideas. I will edit the structure of the tune if it’s necessary, so feel free to record all the ideas that appear. The tune is in E minor and the tempo is 145. Who is in?? Full Song:
GMC_Video_Collab___Full_Song.mp3 ( 4.21MB )
Number of downloads: 391Vocal Reference (sorry for my lazy vocal performance... it's just a reference!
Video_Collab_Vox_Ref.mp3 ( 1.4MB )
Number of downloads: 211IMPORTANT: If you are going to record a guitar solo or something with your guitar please also post here a file with the line signal without any distortion, amp simluation or process if it's possible. This will allow us to have a more uniform sound. Thanks! This post has been edited by Gabriel Leopardi: Nov 17 2011, 07:19 PM -------------------- Visit my Personal Board

YEAH!! I love the chorus chords (I can hear strong melodies over them in my head), this is very exciting!
edit - just heard your solo Gabe, awesome! It's rock n roll on steroids! Hey guys, Here are the lyrics i wrote for this one Excellent ! Here they are in plain text, in case some one wants to polish or add to it: QUOTE ::INTRO:: (0:00-0:15) (0:57-1:11) ::VERSE:: (0:15-0:30) (1:11-1:24) Rockin' hard Talkin' hard Helping each other To become a guitar god (Can be sing twice or we can wrote another 4 lines) ::PRE-CHORUS:: (0:30-0:45) (1:24-1:40) Practice makes us better Practice keeps us strong We are ready to rock your socks rock your soooocks ::FIRST CHORUS:: (0:45-0:57) come join my friend to this awesome journey that will make you a better player ::SECOND CHORUS:: (1:40-1:54) come join my friend to this awesome journey that will take you to the next level @ Bogdan & Ivan, since we're in the beginning of this I think you can just pop in where you feel that you can add something! Gabe has the final word though (perhaps he'll will want both a line and amp bass track to make mixing easier) This post has been edited by Kristofer Dahl: Nov 16 2011, 08:56 PM -------------------- I do not have any natural talent at all - you can beat me with hard work.

Agreed about the lyrics - I have already played around with them (al though I have a sore throat) and the idea will work well!
It would be cool though with input from more people! -------------------- I do not have any natural talent at all - you can beat me with hard work.

No problem, I'll record some parts, feel free to use it any way possible, it's all good!
I wanted to record today, but trying to do a crazy video instead of just playing (as Gab suggested). So, a bit more time on this one, but I'll have it in a week or so probly!) Awesome collab and song! -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Totally tempting - wish I didn't have so much on my plate these days :/
I do a lot of song listening at work, and often while I'm programming, a lyrical idea will pop up - if i happen across a hook or something I think might be interesting, I'll pass it along - at least I can try to contribute in that small way. Looking forward to seeing the end-result! Chris -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!
