Ok, time for some info ! The track is made up of 2 sections.

Section 1 is just a repeating melody which you can choose to record or not. I've recorded 2 lead tracks, 1 low and 1 an octave higher. My aim is to leave this section as it is with melodies so if you want to record that melody on the guitar please do so and I will add it to the mix. Also, if you would like to figure out a harmony for it then feel free. Basically, this part is optional and is there to sound good and break up the solo sections. wink.gif

Section 2 is where we're going to play our solos. The chord progression is Am, Em, Dm, Am, G - Am, Em, Dm, E, F, G. You can use the A minor scale over the whole thing and just alter it when you get to the E chord in the second run through. Hear you may want to use A Harmonic Minor / E Phrygian Dominant(Major)

What I will need from you is:

-Full mix of your takes for reference (this can can be mp3)
-Bare guitar tracks (this can be wav)
-Video footage (please leave audio with the video if you can)

Feel free to upload your takes in this thread for feedback and send the final tracks/video to me via Dropbox, Rapidshare etc..

Deadline is Friday 29th March !!

That is amazing !! biggrin.gif

When you guys have some takes, just send 'em over to me at my place in Whiterun. Chances are I'm either skulking about in Riften or out with Aeola the Huntress, kicking some ass, so I'll get to them first chance I get wink.gif

Welcome to the collab !

Is there any chance you could compose something for the second part with the acoustic guitars ? I'm trying to leave the heavier main section as it is, with jut some guitar harmonies happening smile.gif

Hey Slav, really appreciate it man.

Sammetal92, thanks man. For my tone I use Guitar Rig 3. I have a bank with 4 patches that I pretty much exclusively use. If you have GR I'd be glad to send it over to you. smile.gif

Epic take from Ze German !! I was waiting to see if C***y T***n would somehow make an appearance but I guess that sometimes there comes a backing track that demands nothing but the utmost respect ph34r.gif

tongue.gif
Gitarrero
Yeah, I wanted to surprise you this time biggrin.gif

And show some respect since you composed this after having cheese on toast for breakfast.

Hier ist ze video:
