can i solo please?

Of course!

cool but what key is this in?

Ok Marcus i'm working on a solo now, as you want 8 people doing it roughly how long do you want it?

The key is D-minor, but the pentatonic blues scale (in D) works great as well



Hey Steve,

Each solo part should be the same length as the test solo I recorded (which starts at 01:27 min) and it lasts about 14 seconds. So basically - just start playing when my solo stops, and then go on until the backing tracks ends.

Looking forward to hear what you guys come up with!


-Marcus

Awesome job, great solo Marcus, I was thinking though maybe it would be more intresting if you the first 4 soloers solo on one key, and then the other 4 on a diffrent key, OR every soloer will solo for 7 seconds on one key and 7 seconds on another?

I´ve just hear the final mix untill now with the partial solo and I can say I LOVE IT!!!
Everything is simply perfect now I am really pumped up about singing to this!!!
By the way congrats on the solo, I think it is perfect. I might sound like a insane person right now now but I dont give a crap, the song is turning out to be one of my favorite songs I´ve ever heard, and pardon me for being such a fan, I really cant get enough of this song!!!

its awsome but my riff isnt in there

ill try and do a solo maybe

I think this is perfect - do we have an expansion of this?

Hey Marcus,

I wrote some lyrics here as an idea if you want to make this a GMC related song. Basically it starts with the lyrics of the first verse -

:19 seconds start verse

Are you ready to Rock

Are you ready to Roll

Then grab your guitar

And get out of control

From Zero to Hero

Healty to Insane

So if you're ready to rock

then get in the game

:34 Chorus

Are you Ready

Ready to Roll

Are you Ready

to Get out of Control

:51 Verse



1:06 Repeat Chorus



1:20 another .wav sample from Kris

After the 5 guitar solos, fade out the song out with a cool effect on a voice that repeats the chorus.

If you don't like it, or if it it sucks, then obviously throw it out!

I would like to take one of the 5 solo slots if possible.

If you like these lyrics then I'll work on Verse 2. Before I did I wanted to throw out this idea since I haven't contributed yet. Let me know! Thanks - and what an awesome solo you did, as usual.

Hey. Ok here's a small idea i've been working on today. If you think it seriously sucks let me know because i'll change it. Something doesn't quite sound right yet but i have to go to work now eeeurgh... so let me know what you think of it so far if you like the idea of this. If you don't i came up with plenty of ideas earlier i'm sure i can come up with more

Oops forgot to include a file...

By the way i've recorded using audcity, hence why the quality isn't so good

If people are wanting GMC lyrics then I'd opt for that.

Yeah I wasn't sure Owen, so I threw it out there. I like the song so far though!

Kris, first of all thanks!
second, the idea is allready in the file, but in midi form, so feel free to turn it into vocals!

Iluha, you seem to ONLY have great ideas! I love the change of key-thing. Do you have any riffs thought out for that? What key do you want it to change to? tell us about it!

-Marcus


Nick, don't worry! We'll find a spot for your riff! Looking forward to hear your solo!


-Marcus

Jeff - this if awesome!!! Do we need to make the verse riff twice as long, to make these lyrics fit?
The chorus is just perfect! Love it!


-Marcus




Steve,
why would you want to change this? It sounds awesome and it fits right in!
Here's the updated song, with your solo included.

 collab_v7.mp3 ( 3.6MB ) Number of downloads: 289

Oh btw, I doubled the second chorus.

thanks Marcus. I think they can fit with the existing track. I probably should have put them together differently to give you an idead of what I meant - like this:

Are you ready to Rock, Are you ready to Roll
Then grab your guitar(or axe) and get out of control
From Zero to Hero,Healty to Insane
So if you're ready to rock,then get in the game


I'll write some more and 'll see if I can throw them in where I think they might fit and send it back. And of course it would be great if we got some others to add to it!

I've got a Heil Talk box that would sound cool on a lead or riff somewhere in this song. I'll use it for a lead and post it here for you to check out.

Hey Marcus, just listened to the updated song and it's sounding great . Can't wait for the vocals and stuff to come in. Do you need anything else to go into this like any more riffs or anything? I'm away next week for a whole week so that means no GMC for a week . Don't worry though i'm tkaing my guitar and amp

I would like to kick around a solo as well, get er done,

Thanks Marcus, I'll try to keep em good, well I got a riff in my head, just need to pick up the guitar and then transcribe it , but it'll have to wait till toomarow, it's allready 4 am here and I'm a bit wasted
