Hi
Last month we did really good with some neoclassical backing and you learned some new scales. In this one I hope you won't find anything unfamiliar. This is about pentatonics and a couple of different common modes. Actually, Monte asked for Satriani type of backing and I promissed I would do it. The chord progression is very simple: A5 - A pentatonic of your choice E5 - E minor pentatonic these 2 chords are repeated 4 times (16 bars) then you have C5 (2 bars) - Lydian D5 (2 bars) - Mixolydian And again: A5 - A pentatonic of your choice E5 - E minor pentatonic these 2 chords are repeated 2 times (8 bars) Tempo is 180. Your tonal key center is E (minor) and this E5 chord is your resolution in the melody. You can think of it as G major as that's the paralel scale/chord to the E minor. Therefore your C chord will be Lydian and D will be Mixolydian. Please use these 2 chords for these modes, do not stay in pentatonic here. I said that A can be pentatonic of your choice. If you start with A minor pentatonic then go on with that choice on every A5 chord. You can chose to do A dominant pentatonic (1, 2, 3, 5, b7) - something like mixolydian. If you go for this option then please keep it until the end whenever you have that A5. In this case your A5 will sound more (major). You can also use some blues b5 passing notes if you find it interesting. Notice that I resolve on E major riff when I land on the E5 but you can still play E minor pentatonic and it will work. That way you'll sound more in Satriani style  I called this collaboration "Satriani style" because the backing reminds of his old known fast grooves like Surfing With The Alien or Crushing Day. But you don't need to play in Satriani style. Play whatever you want just make some nice melody and involve some cool rock licks. There is plenty of space for playing pretty much anything from tapping, picking... you can even play with your boots like Ritchie Blackmore hahaha, but please keep some logical structure so your solo has some compositional quality. The deadline is April 26th (Sunday) - 2 weeks and 2 days. I will be away from 12th until 26th so I won't be able to reply everyday. You can still ask anything you want and I'll do my best to find internet at least every 3rd day. I hope I'll receive some great takes this month See you. ---------------------------------- 1. lcsdds 2. Dexxter 3. kaznie_NL 4. Caelumamittendum 5. Tjchep 6. Rated Htr 7. UncleSkillet 8. enforcer 9.

QUOTE (UncleSkillet @ Apr 29 2009, 02:42 AM)  I am not happy with the tone change when I upload my tracks lately and I'm not sure what to do? It sound's warm and good here but, when I upload a track it does the youtube thing and makes things sound loose and brite! I down load the same track I uploaded, play it at the same volume and it still sounds the same (bad). Completely different then the same track I just uploaded which sounded goood before the upload!! Do you have any advice? Has something changed on GMC's upload end and what it does with compression or something? I have never heard of something similar on GMC. I know that youtube makes the quality worse but if you upload to GMC there is no way that the track can be changed. Can you play the exported track just before the upload and then compare? I really don't know what could be the reason for that. If you really think that GMC has something to do with that then try sending to my email address.

Hey Emir,
I got lots of things going on in my life right now and I think I've lost the will of playing guitar so I won't be able to make any new recordings. I hate to make a show about this but really everything looks grim, even my fiance left me. I feel lower than every down, and I don't think I'll recover from this in a short period. But a word is a word, and I gave you one, so here is a very basic and improvised take for this collab. I tried to use my weakest points like left and vibrato, legatos and whammy bar. Please be as strict as you can possibly be about this, maybe a slap may wake me from this nightmare.

We have what we have so I'll be careful about the comment The CD is on the way (sent today) so that might make you feel better I didn't have time to do it but I left your address to a friend and he said he did it today.
