High Risk Collaboration ! Options

[Ben Higgins]

Hi Guys, it's about time I did a collab isn't it ??

You'll recognise the backing from my Set The Pace lesson and as quite a few of you have enjoyed playing along to it, or just listening to it I thought it made sense to use it and get you guys unleashing your ideas over it !

To give it an identity of it's own I'm calling it 'High Risk' because it sounds dangerous !!

 Set_the_Pace_105bpm.mp3 ( 1008.55K ) Number of downloads: 635
Here's the backing. It's 105bpm and about 1:20 long. You don't have to solo over all of it.. you can do as much or as little as you want. It also doesn't have to be solo orientated, maybe you would like to do something rhythm based ? (Maybe it's about time Bogdan did a bass solo ??)

The main key of the tune is Bminor so you can use B Aeolian or B Minor Pentatonic..

Upload any takes here.. one with backing & one with just your solo channel isolated. When you get around to recording videos just inbox them to me with a rapishare/yousendit/whatever site you use link

And of course, I would like to say now that is open to everyone and anyone.. all abilities.. don't feel like you have to be an experienced player or an experienced GMC user. Join in the fun and let's see what madness we end up with

Let's make a deadline of Sunday 3rd July

Reason for edit: added video

Ok, so I came up with a little melody over (first half of) the backing track, practiced for some time, then ran into a series of obstacles when trying to shoot the whole thing. Video formats, transferring video data, audio synchronizing, video editing software, etc were making the beginner look like a fool. It didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted, but I created a YouTube account and uploaded the video. It seems to be out of sync, which is not the case when I play the uploaded file locally. Oh well, here it is.



Now all I need is this Rapidshare thing, right?

Hungry that's awesome.. I love it ! Check out those geetars laying in the stand - rock n roll !

That's ok, I'm pretty good at synching up audio and video and I'll have to put all the audio in separately anyway so for anyone who's worried about audio/video being slightly out, don't worry.. I can fix that at the editing stage

Yes, just send it through rapidshare or yousendit.com It's pretty easy to ake an account, I think you just need an email address. Rapidshare is the easiest.

I decided to solo over the whole thing so Ben can pick what he wants. This is why I don't join many collabs. I always embarrass myself.



And then also the guitar by itself for Ben to use in mixing.

Fireball this is excellent.. what are you saying ? This is all usable.. in fact, with this collab I am very spoilt for choice !

Loving the shades and attitude.. your licks and pinch harmonics worked man !

P.S. You have the same guitar strap as me !

Think I am gonna jump in on this one if you don't mind and if there is room. Got some ideas rolling around after seeing everyone else's take. And if we harmonize, do you want the harmony file separate?

Of course !!

If you create harmony leads just keep them as they are, that's fine ! Great to have you onboard

Thanks so much, Ben for your kind words here and in the PM. They very encouraging. It makes me feel better about joining more collabs.
And yes, I got that guitar strap because I saw you had it and I wanted one too!
