First a little background...
...it all started with Cael sharing some amazing chords + progression here. It inspired me to record a jam over it. Then Ken turned into a song foundation which inspired Gab to record a jam. So it's safe to say we're all a little inspired 😁 ----- I have started recording some vocals over Ken's backing, and I would like to try a new collab concept - where we work more actively together to build a song. First, have a listen to what we have got so far: 
all_bout_the_song_v1.mp3 ( 488.29K )
Number of downloads: 1192Vocals: I really don’t need a statue I really don’t like the smell I feel like it’s going straight to hell Now, try to think of what you could add to make this first verse sound better. * maybe a super soft note played with a clean sound? * maybe that one bent bluesy note? * maybe a chord * some rhythm scratch / strum? * maybe a vocal harmony (using your guitar) * maybe clap your hands * maybe say/sing something? * maybe some noise from your room / guitar * a cool sound sample * some virtual instrument from your DAW As you can see I don't have any specific arrangement in mind, instead I will try whatever you send me - and use whatever I think works best for the song. Hint: it will likely not be a fast solo, especially in the beginning of the tune. When we have found something that works for this first part we will continue with another song section, and hopefully move forward towards a finished tune in the end 🤩 ---- For best results, be sure to send me a file without any reverb. However if you just want to share an idea, feel free to leave the reverb on. ---- >>FINAL RESULT<< |

maybe something like that could be used for outro.

QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Apr 16 2021, 10:03 AM)  It seems like Gabriel worked on the full track from Ken in his videos. Can this be shared in the first post? Or do we have to work around your vocals in the 20 second audio clip?  Is it this one you are thinking of? (we are using Ken's backing from your thread) https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=787542 |

The original track by Ken is longer than the one you posted, which is only your vocal part. I don't know if it would inspire people to do something over the non-vocal parts if the full track was uploaded in the first post of this topic? EDIT: I just need to read the full post, heh. Sorry, I see what you mean now about working part by part

My track was really just an idea or example.
Most of you guys have way more editing skills than me. Please feel free to loop it, cut it up, re-arrange it, re-record it, add to it, etc. This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 16 2021, 02:46 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I have also recorded some examples to show you what kind of short phrases can help build a song arrangement:
all_bout_the_song_k_examples.mp3 ( 433.8K )
Number of downloads: 606Here is the guitar only file:
all_bout_the_song_k_examples_gui_only.mp3 ( 433.8K )
Number of downloads: 590I am using the E MAJOR scale, and here is a quick transcription: 00:04 E--------------- 00:11 E--------------- 00:13 E--------------- I won't be using my recording, so if you want to go ahead and record your own variations of these ideas it's totally fine! |

I'll play around with this maybe tonight or tomorrow - at the very least during the week.

Here's a quick thing I came up with, it's more of a texture/rhythm combination.
https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/all-bout-the-song-rhythm-1-mix https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/all-bout-the-song-rhythm-1-guitar-only It's only subtle but I feel it works as a texture kinda thing. I think it needs a compressor on it but I'm not too good at setting them. I'll try some more stuff in the week, time permitting.

Number of downloads: 625Edit; found it Yeah! That's such a classic tune from one of my all time fav instrumental albums. If only I knew how to get his tone - it's really next to perfect here (if there is such a thing). I also see some similarities arrangement wise - so I am sure this track can be an inspiration for us. |

Sorted buddy, I always forget that When I first recorded it, I was listening back and thought "Hmmmm, I can't really hear it" then I muted the guitar track and un muted and I could hear it, it's a strange one how it sits there in the background. It's just the wound strings being played on an open E chord whatever that makes it, I don't know Glad you like it
