he he I'm not aware - wasn't considering You could bite I'm glad we could clear things up about the tempo and counting method I think You could handle those 8th notes triplets. Give it a try - I think that slight delay from the deadline would be forgiven by other GMC'ers as long as You deliver Your files during final mix process I also enjoy to see how well You work on this! Seems like You fight for some extra time to play guitar. That's excellent



Decision is up to You Neil I will add the delay for sure. I can dig the idea that Kris pointed - Your akward take can put something different to the collaboration



Being present through all the process of tweaking Your take I can proudly say You made it man Choice of the pickup position is up to You- though I find it being pretty ok Thanx for the patience and all the work Your brought to deliver what we hear today



Yeah You But his guilty of posting the take - He knew this could happen ))

Excellent! Thanks for your kind words darius!

Well Darius, I'm never satisfied but at the moment my ideas outweigh my ability. I could keep on fiddling for days but I am scared of going away from the essence of what I originally felt from my heart. That may sound pretentious but it's not meant to. If I think of anything between now and the deadline I'll put it up here.



Thanks, I often feel intimidated as a beginner to put my thoughts forward for fear of being told "What do you know?". I know you aren't like that on here but it's part of a mind set. Hope you understand




Different but I like it, the guitar playing is awesome. The singing is almost like the Tibetan monks and I mean that with respect.

Phil




Thanks Kristofer,

Even though it's very simple, I am happy with it for my level of beginnerness I am even more happy at how much I enjoyed the process of creating. It's infinitely more enjoyable than lessons but i fully understand why lessons are required to get techniques into your fingers.

Eeeeeek

I've just thought, do I need to do a video of the take??? I may have to "mime" over the take I've got recorded Time is short and a few days away have made a little rust appear in my knuckles

Cheers

Phil

Here are Ye Files! I had to write an entirely new piece but kept the ideas and suggestions given here. What do you think?

You're welcome - Well deserved



You cought us Yes it's very hard to be an instructor who's trying to help, point the issues and at the same time not being just a rude smartass I think we understand each other very well and that's what really matters when it comes to development of Your playing. I do like the way You enjoyed the game called "collaboration" I hope it was just a start and You'll improve during next collaborations!




You know Neil...If I would be insane a bit....I would simply reverse Your take a make a "horror movie solo"




Got it! Excellent




Ok...now You'll bite me for real Jim To be honest I liked Your previous version better...was more natural and had "that flow". Only thing that was missing was just a little more smashing final but I really loved it.
This one is ok but not compareable to prvious Sorry for being honest. Let's wait for other guys to say what they think. I might be wrong

Jim - Ok, have give the honour back...Was listening to Your newest take a couple more times and i8t is nicaley constructed solo Only the finish is a bit broken - You somehow break it. Does not sound like the end of conversation nor the introduction of next "speaker" If You know what I mean.

It's a common problem for a lot of players - it's a thing worth working same as any other technique

THE ABILITY TO LEAD THE SOLO so it has a proper tension built and clear ending (2 options to choose - end of all "sentense" with release of the tension to prepare the listener for the end...or...constant tension insceasement to preapre background for next song part like even stroneg bridge or just a chorus with vocals)

Now there's a thought!!!

Agreed, it was very cool to try something new this time! Looking forward to hear the result of your new practice elements!



Thanks Phil, I have always wanted to get that monk choir sound, watch this space! =)



No panic, this is an audio collab. I recorded a video just to give something to my youtube followers.



Cool, well by the sound of it, it seems several people would want to see more of these kinds of collabs. Great!



Nice, this sounds great, and it also has some clever guitarist stuff which should please our kind! =)

I don't really agree that the solo is broken towards the end - it feels clever throughout to me.



Well done in this collab, it is obvious you are serious about your playing Rhida. Keep going like this and remember to play super super super slow when practicing technique.

Hey!

My take will be a couple days late since I need to polish the composition a bit.
Hope this is ok with you

Ok, I don't know whether you need it or not but here's my video. There are some slight out of sync parts, I was playing along with my sounds that you already have and I put the original sounds over this video. Time is very limited today so if you need another I need to know ASAP.

Cheers

Phil

It's fine ofr me since it always takes some time to make to final mix but You have to ask other students aince they had to made it to the deadline




This particular collaboration is an audio collaboration but of course it is a great idea to show us how did You play Your take. And of course...cool way to promote yourself on YouTube and similar. This way You can get beck to this video someday and compare Your progress...let's say few years later

update!

Please take a look at the list and see if You're on it Now it's time to review all the files before doing the final mix. Text files are for those who did not post all necessary files. Titles says it all

I'm not on the list, but you will have my take today

Hey!
Thanks for letting me post my take even if I am late
My timing is a bit off, but I felt I shouldn't take more time from you

Hey Darius, hope I ain't too late Here be my files! Thank you!

hey Darius, here's my original take -
[attachment=40441:bleez_1_full.mp3]
[attachment=40442:bleez_1_guitar.wav]

After talking to you earlier about how I couldn't alter the second half to anything I thought was remotely interesting (or good) and going around in circles with it I thought Id be as well uploading my attempt which I hated the least just incase it worked better for the overall mix.

thanks dude

Thanks Alex - some feedback for you (no real need to re-record since this collab is closed):

Well done thinking about breathing room in the beginning. My advice to you will be similar to Rhida, you have included a lot of faster passages in there - and I can hear you are struggling to perform them. So I think this is distracting you from playing on time - and this brings your take down.

I would suggest practicing by just playing quarter notes (so no fast notes at all), see video part 1 & 2 here:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beat-Basics/

When that feels comfortable, see if you can play some 8th notes as well (see video part 3). I would also advise to study the whole 'beat basics' lesson carefully.

Finally I want to say it is really smart of you to participate in collabs like these, it will give such an advantage over people struggling at home who do not dare post anything "until they get better". By the the time they "get better" - you will be a pro

Thanks Kristofer for your feedback
I will definitely check out that lesson and practice it

And actually before posting my take I considered if I should post it or not since I am not 100% proud of it, but as you say it will pay off. I will trust you

Ha ha! Sure Cosm! I'll add You. I thought You were very busy and You didn't find time to post a take even though I've seen You said You're in




Thank You soo much man! I think You underrate Your work Even if You feel there is not much of technical stuff, Your solos are still good and have Your characteristic style and tone It's not only me who enjoy them I'm happy You got convinced to post the files




Thanx for the files mate! As Kris said -collab is closed so we are not abel to give You full feedbakc but of course You're in!
