   Oh my god - is this the first collaboration lesson at gmc or what? We believe it is! :)

In here we (Marcus and Kris) will do our best to show you the main ingredients of our song. We will go through the clean and distorted rhythm guitars, covering verse and chorus. From there you will see how things develop into a "duel" kind of solo.

As always - we suggest you digest this lesson in pieces, especially if you are a beginner! Be sure to ask questions in the feedback section below. Also - we will be in the chat today (2007-12-12, 19:00, GMT + 1) - we hope to see you there! (Editorial note: see chat log)

If you have been following the gmc blog you are probably familiar with the KMC Metal song "Soul to the world", otherwise you can download it here.

Remember: If we can do it - YOU can do it! A horrible amount of practicing hours is the key - good luck,
Marcus Lavendell & Kristofer Dahl

@ Juan

Yes, it's the same PODxt preset that we used in the "You Ready collab". I've made three overdubs to every guitar part, and added compression (post-recording).

Kris will never lose it as a guitar player! Was great to see you playing in this song as well i hope we'll see more in the future. Marcus was of course awesome as usual. Tonight has been a bad night for me for guitar, i've been trying to improvise over some backing track i got on a cd but you've inspired me to try again

Dare I say Kris has improved noticeably over some already excellent guitar skills? ohmy.gif

Could be because you haven't done a lesson in so long... *cough* *cough*

Guys, WOW... I saw it earlier today, but I watched it more closely tonight and I was blown away. Marcus, excellent playing, your feel has serious emotion, and I like that. Kris, I rewound your solo over 15 times, this reminded me that you truly are of the Guitar Master Class. You seriously have the best technique of anyone I`ve ever seen. It's one thing to be able to write and play your own material, but I have seen you master other musicians music exactly! Wow, blown away. Don't stop working together, the two of you were meant to make music together.

Wow I am completely overwhelmed by the fantastic feedback!! blink.gif laugh.gif Thanks everyoby for the feedback and encouragement!

g-forcelover: We haven't come that far in the planning, but I think the music collaboration has worked really well so I would love to put together an album with Marcus!! biggrin.gif

sb81: You definitely dare! biggrin.gif Just like everyone else here I do my best to get some practice time - I could never have managed to progress without all the awesome lessons we have got, though!

Congrats kyldeee smile.gif

I, however, still have some trouble nailing Kris's solo unsure.gif

Kris,
about the arpeggio lick in video #8. I find it a lot easier to play it when I tap the highest note (whilst you slide up to it with your pinky). Is there any particular reason you don't tap it?

Kristofer Dahl
post 13th December 2007


GMC Founder & Rocker


Marcus - I do believe it might be a little noiser for me if I did it that way. I guess some would argue that the slide gives a little difference in tonality (however I am not completely sure how I do it when I play fast! unsure.gif ).

So what I am trying to say is - no. biggrin.gif
