No, I haven't sold my soul to the devil that I'm aware of

Maybe your parents did it without telling you

I'm sure they had a good reason...they said they wanted the best for me

rightio, heres my kinda quirky take

I can get a vid done as soon as you need it, I`ll post the guitar only version then as well

it wasn't easy for me to come up with a take for this collab,

yours is very natural and musical, I can tell you spent time and energy on this, great!

Awesome - Chris you are the man!! This is excellent, melody is all over it and you used the intro break in a very clever way. This will be a killer collab - can't wait to hear what more contributions we get.

PS To everyone who has submitted a take - please send me the guitar only audio!

I agree, it took me some time also to work something out for this backing, but once I hit on an idea it all made a lot more sense, now I`ve been sitting with it I have some additional ideas that I want to work into my take, thanks for your comments




cheers Kris, this is a really interesting backing, kinda quirky at first but has really grown on me and I cant get it out of my head at the moment! , I will post my revised take tonight with audio only as well

Good to hear Chris. It struck after posting this thread that the backing probably is pretty weird - I don't know why but it seemed natural to me (and I have never listened to polka!!)

However judging from your comment - it seems I did the right thing if it gets people thinking in new directions.

Can't wait to hear your other takes!

Wooow, all those killer takes scare me off!
I think of trying it but I'll propably fail. I'm not a pro like you guys.
You have some hints/tricks to help? Should I use Minor scale?

if you check my take, I chose the heavy metal riff to do it. It's in Ebm that part, so yeah, I actually used Ebm pentatonic

here's my take with no backing:

right, after much recording I`ve decided to stick with my original take

heres the guitars only track

hey Kris, I got my solo already composed... quick question: can I add a few funny growls on it? I got a crazy idea in my head LOL

Of course! Crazyniess is mandatory - we are suppose to have a lot of fun here!! Can't wait to hear your growling!

cool! I'm gonna record my take today

Just listened to your takes, Gabriel and Chris... excellent !! Very melodic.... I personally found Kris's chord choices challenging... but when I listened to it it inspired this funny little polka type melody in my head which is what I went with, so it's really interesting to see the melodic directions that you've taken.. much like Kris's guitar lines himself !

Can't wait to hear this !

I know, it's somehow challenging, but that makes it really fun!

thanks Ben!

yea, a very challenging backing, it took a little while to get it together but echoing Daniel, that added an extra fun element to it

I`m looking forward to Kris piecing this together, will be cool!

thank you Ben!! and yes, it's a very challenging backing!

What a killer, wacky backing! Great job on that, very unexpected! I did a take over a small chunk in a pitch black room using my fret light guitar. Here is the video clip. I can post the track as well later if you decided to use it in the mix Let me know what you think
