Smooth Collab Options

[Cosmin Lupu]

Hey guys!


Check this out me and my drummer decided to work something smooth for you guys, so we started out like this:



After that, I recorded the bass and the guitars and voila! The track for the new collab is done! We would be very honored to jam with you, so go ahead and send your takes!

In order to make this work out as a super funky smooth jam, I need the following things from you guys:

1) Video files (. AVI format)
2) Audio files - one without the backing and one with the backing (. WAV format)
3) I would suggest using clean or just a little bit crunched tones for the solos...in order to make it smooth, right?
4) This collab is aiming to develop your phrasing and expression skills so throw in bends, vibrato and little melodies as often as you can!
5) The deadline is October, the 31'st!

The progression is:

Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7 FM7 Em7

G7sus4 Dm7/9 Bmadd9 Am7

Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7 FM7 Em7 x 2

You are free to use the A minor scale and the A minor pentatonic scale, as well as playing around with the idea of highlighting notes belonging to the Dorian (over Dm7), Phrygian (over Em7), Mixolydian (over G7sus4), Lydian (over FM7) and even Locrian (over Badd9) modes.

Another suggestion would be to play Dorian mode notes over the whole progression starting from Dm7 as it highlights this particular mode very well! I'll throw in ideas as we go along so that we may have as many weapons at our disposal as possible

The tempo is 92 or 93 BPM, I think and the tuning is standard!

Let's see how smooth you guys can get!
