In this collab we're going to play with the minor harmonic scale. Tempo is 100 bpm.
A harmonic minor scale is basically a minor scale with a major 7th. I attached the scale to this post.

I need 6 volonteers to record their lead over the backing track.
The goal here is to be melodic. This is not a shred exercice, as the purpose of this particular collab is to create interesting melodic ideas with a scale that you might not be very familiar with...
Only 6 spots on this one.

Hope to hear from you soon!

I'm in!

I'm in!

David, do we play over the whole backing track? How many measures?

thanks

Posted by: Wallimann Aug 22 2007, 11:45 PM

Yep, you get to play over the whole thing.. I figured that I would give you more time to develop something...
Remember though, the idea is to create a cool melodic lead.

I was in on the last one and Muris' Blues collab. Can I get in on this one too? I don't want to be a hog but it's a lot of fun

Posted by: Wallimann Aug 23 2007, 12:04 AM

Yeah, you can be in!
This is on a first come first served base.
Are you in?

Posted by: SDMF75 Aug 23 2007, 12:08 AM

Posted by: Nick325 Aug 23 2007, 12:59 AM

im in as long as if its ok to be in the blues collab too.


do we just use the scale u gave us?

Posted by: exorcyze Aug 23 2007, 01:02 AM

I'd love to be in ( provided there are no objections )!

Posted by: Owen Aug 23 2007, 01:05 AM

I'm in, damn I will get it right and sounding good this time.

I will improve

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Aug 23 2007, 01:09 AM

Sounds cool, but I've done too many of these so I'll give someone else a chance - put me in as first backup if needed



That's the spirit!

Go owen!

Posted by: Wallimann Aug 23 2007, 02:34 AM

All the spots are taken!
Here's what I have:

MickeyM
Jeff
SDMF75
Nick325
Exorcyze
Owen

Submit your leads here! If you submit also a version with the BT, that would be helpful. :-)

You can use any pattern you'd like as long as you use the notes of the scale I wrote.
That means that a minor pentatonic won't work because it has a minor 7th aned the harmonic minor scale has a major 7th...

Posted by: SDMF75 Aug 23 2007, 02:37 AM

You can do it! Rip it up man!!

Posted by: exorcyze Aug 24 2007, 06:04 AM

Here's my effort - I was going for something a little melancholy with a sense of finality in the resolution.

All thoughts and feedback are most welcomed.

David, I won't be able to do this one this time. If someone else wants my spot they can have it. Sorry about that! I'm sure that you will have no problems finding another taker though. I've done a couple already anyway so someone else should do it.

I do have my lead tabbed out in GP5 though, in case you were looking for an idea of what I was going to attempt to play. Thanks!

Nice, Owen - your tone has improved a lot now you took the chorus off (if in fact it was on and you did in fact take it off ). Anyway, good tone and nice solo!

Posted by: Owen Sep 9 2007, 09:14 PM

Thanks

I'm just going direct into my toneport now, saves a lot of hassle with not having to mic up amps

and yes, there is now no chorus

Posted by: Wallimann Sep 10 2007, 03:50 AM

Great, just need one more..
