Great news!!




Welcome master!!




Your guitar is very low in the mix, it seems to be good but I can't hear your phrases well.




Nice mate!! Thanks a lot for your take!

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 30 2019, 09:46 PM

Hello Gab,

Found this backing a little quick for me but I had a quick go. Obviously, I'll try to build on it for the final take but how is this so far? I tried to keep a 50s playing style and a 50s kind of guitar tone. I know it needs a lot of polishing

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 31 2019, 03:34 PM

Hi Phil! There are some cool things happening there. You just have to adjust timing.

If you think on this backing as 85 bpm, it shouldn't be quick. Play slower phrases while tapping with your foot at that tempo and you'll be comfortable. Try it!

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 31 2019, 08:03 PM

Hi here
Two takes with a louder sound:

and

cheers
Laurent

Posted by: Phil66 Feb 1 2019, 03:33 PM

I had a go at the half speed Gab, I couldn't get the same kind of licks coming through, I guess that's another skill set required It just felt completely different. I will work on it though.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 1 2019, 09:18 PM

Go another half and let me know what happens!

Posted by: Phil66 Feb 1 2019, 09:46 PM

I'm guessing you mean 75% of original speed and not another half slower (25%)? Basically I'm asking if you meant to another half up or down?

Cheers

Posted by: Mertay Feb 1 2019, 10:46 PM

That take was cool why over-thinking it? I think till 18 second it was great, don't change anything just a little practice for timing and thats it. between 18-20 maybe its better to stick with 1 note melodies and after that till end was cool too.

So sure if you have different stuff in mind do share but don't simplify what you already played just cause of a little timing swing that I'm sure you can handle!

Posted by: Phil66 Feb 1 2019, 11:01 PM

Thanks Mertay,

What do you think about the tone for a 50s track?

Cheers

Phil

Posted by: Mertay Feb 1 2019, 11:05 PM

Cool ideas! I might steal some keep in mind increase the recording output next time, when low even if I increase the output its gets a bit muddy.



Yeah I noticed that but forgot to mention, somehow reminded me of gretsch guitar tones I've listened on youtube! what did you use to get that tone?

Posted by: Phil66 Feb 2 2019, 04:15 PM

Basically that guitar which has P90s and my SRV patch which uses an early Marshall I think. I can't remember and aren't home this weekend.

Posted by: Mertay Feb 2 2019, 04:26 PM

Interesting, do share when you get back about the patch I'm curious

Posted by: Beat Zbinden Feb 2 2019, 07:20 PM

My idea of the the 50s.....

Posted by: Adam M Feb 3 2019, 12:51 AM

Just a quick note to let you know I recorded some licks. I'll put them together tomorrow

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 3 2019, 02:53 PM

Great solo Beat!! Pure old school rock and roll!!





Excellent!!

Posted by: Phil66 Feb 3 2019, 09:01 PM

I've popped it into another thread buddy, to keep this one tidy

Posted by: DeGroot Feb 3 2019, 09:18 PM

Posted by: Phil66 Feb 3 2019, 09:33 PM

Awesome and inspiring DeGroot sir

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 4 2019, 02:06 AM

Hehehe you rock mate!! Your take is pure rock and roll. Nice licks, and good job following the chords.

Thanks a lot!!

Posted by: DeGroot Feb 4 2019, 03:31 AM

Thanks guys. Love the 50s vibe of this track!

Hi

This evening I worked on BT
I think make a 1rst take thursday

I listen to few take, I like very much beat zbinden and degroot

Posted by: Todd Simpson Feb 4 2019, 10:30 PM

Very cool take!! Egad! I've almost run out of time!! I'm going to try to make a take using my Strat on this one as using my Ibbbys just seems odd somehow
Toddd

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 5 2019, 03:22 AM

Great news MisterM!! You are VERY welcome!





That's a great idea! I'd like to see you bluesing your Strat!!

Posted by: MisterM Feb 6 2019, 11:19 AM

Hi

Here is my contribution
I got a lot of pleasure with this one.

I would try to make a new mix with TH3.
On this one the tone is bad

Thx Mertay

Posted by: maharzan Feb 6 2019, 01:38 PM

Howdy everyone!!!

Its been a very very long time.. I wish I could play guitar as before and more fluently.. Here is my take, needed some work. But damn me, I forgot to export guitar only track and didn't save the project.

EDIT: I re-recorded the whole thing and not forget to save..

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 6 2019, 02:57 PM

Very cool MisterM!! Nice rock playing on this one!! I like that double guitar phrase, very creative. Thanks a lot for your take!!

Posted by: MisterM Feb 6 2019, 03:08 PM

Hi Gab

I uploaded a new take with Overloud TH3

Welcome back mate!! It's great to see you rocking this one!! Your take has good groove and your note choice is very tasty.

Thanks for joining!!

Posted by: maharzan Feb 6 2019, 04:23 PM

Thanks and great to participate!!

Posted by: onetabmat Feb 6 2019, 04:36 PM

nice







always like your videos they look and sound proferssional


sounds cool

Posted by: MisterM Feb 6 2019, 05:01 PM

Tank you onetabmat

I prefer the sound of my amplifier but the software simulation is easier to record.
Your take is good too, you could improve it a little bit to give it even more groove and cleanless.

I noticed that you had long fingers as the great guitarists. (Steeve Vai, paul Gilbert)
You'll be fast if you keep hard work

Posted by: Adam M Feb 6 2019, 10:39 PM

At first I recorded few licks and tried to combine them together. But then I got an even better idea: re-record it all! But something went wrong. It starts the same then it's completely different from my original idea. I think it's much better, though!

For the record, I wasn't allowed to take today's two exams because failed one of the subjects. That means it's do or die for me now and I'll have to spend all my spare time studying hard or else I'll be removed from the college. But if I pass it, I'll have literally only MA thesis to do, no more distracting assignments and projects. I'll manage to fit a 30 minute practice in my schedule before the exam but not more.



If that's convenient for you, Gabriel, I could mail the audio files (and video, if you'll need it). Just let me know.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 7 2019, 08:39 PM

Great job Adam!! That's how music is created!! Maybe you've found your way to compose your solos.

Thanks for this cool sounding take! Please add your only guitar audio file here.

Cheers!

Posted by: Phil66 Feb 7 2019, 10:12 PM

Here's another take Gab, I haven't had much chance to practise over the backing I've put this in here as a quick take as I am away this weekend and the deadline is Feb 10th so I may not get another chance.

It's just a quick take winging it as I usually do, no worries if you can't use it

https://youtu.be/RvEgy5r8ppw


Soundfiles are here, I forgot record a dry guitar too this time, sorry. https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ap09zsLCowi5iLdGj5XoYM8OQm7nAA

Posted by: DeGroot Feb 8 2019, 12:40 AM

I accidentally deleted my guitar files before saving one with no backing. I tried to duplicate the original solo as close as possible so it would fit with the original video. It proved to be more of a challenge to record than the original.

 50s_collab_no_backing___2_7_19__5.26_PM.mp3 ( 883.8K ) : 81



 50s_collab_with_backing___2_7_19__5.27_PM.mp3 ( 910.74K ) : 80

Posted by: Adam M Feb 8 2019, 01:14 AM

Thank you! I did my best to improve since the last Collab! I wasn't taught how to improvise, so my phrases are a bit repetitive (maybe like some kind of a theme). Is it bad?

About improvising, I once read an interview with Kirk Hammett. He was talking about how there was little time between him joining and going to the studio with Kill Em All. The band told him to just start his solos the same way Dave did and go from there. I tried to do the same thing here instead of re-playing my previous licks 1:1.

As for the file, I'll edit this post later, when I extract the audio from video and I'll let you know through a PM

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 8 2019, 04:02 PM

Nice! Thanks a lot for giving this one a new chance. I love that guitar.




Thanks a lot!!

Hello,

Here is my first collab, I hope that my participation will please you. The BT was really nice so I thought "why not". I tried to do my best, but I have to work my timming and my videaste qualities ....

Now I will listen to you

Great Chuck farine !

Very Nice old school tone and playing, I like it

Posted by: Farine54 Feb 10 2019, 08:17 PM

Hey

everyone did a good job , but I would like to drop my hat to DeGroot for his sacred f .... Mojo, and to MisterM for his work with two guitars reminiscent of the classic Big Band

Thanks MisterM

Posted by: DeGroot Feb 11 2019, 06:03 PM

Sounds great!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 11 2019, 09:41 PM

Thanks a lot Adam!!

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Feb 11 2019, 09:43 PM

I really wanted to participate in this one, but I should have uploaded something earlier. I haven't even had a jam to the backing track. We're passed the deadline, so if you need to start mixing, feel free to go ahead, Gabriel

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 11 2019, 10:02 PM

It's very nice! Lojo has some similar models.




Great Beat!! That's a very nice rock and roll solo. Thanks for your take mate!!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 11 2019, 10:48 PM

Fantastic!! Congrats on your first GMC collab Farine!! Your take ROCKS! Thanks a lot for joining.





Hi Cael, I'll start mixing this one tomorrow so you can give it a try if you have a moment! If not, don't worry!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 12 2019, 07:09 PM

I have all the files except by Phil, Fzalfa and Adam. Please guys check your inbox!

Posted by: Phil66 Feb 12 2019, 08:51 PM

Gab I've sent them to you via PM, the files are in the OneDrive folder though. Very strange!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 13 2019, 02:33 PM

Yeah! Thanks Phil & Adam!! Fzalfa will be sending files today and it seems that we have a new special participant sharing files today.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 14 2019, 05:01 PM

Hey guys!! I'm finishing this one but there are no news from Fzalfa. I'll wait a bit before rending the video.

Posted by: Adam M Feb 14 2019, 06:20 PM

Let's hope he'll reply soon. Maybe he's got busy days or no access to the Net.

I'm sure you meant "render"

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 14 2019, 07:52 PM

haaha yeah, rendering!

Posted by: MisterM Feb 15 2019, 08:07 AM

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 15 2019, 07:27 PM

Here we go!!!


GREAT JOB everybody!! YOU ROCK!!

Posted by: onetabmat Feb 15 2019, 07:45 PM

Great job again Gabe, great playing and tone from all the contributors, this track really worked . It's ace . Rock on

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 15 2019, 07:48 PM

Thanks for being part mate!! I'm already thinking on the next collab!!

Posted by: Beat Zbinden Feb 15 2019, 08:06 PM

Great Job Gabriel!!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 15 2019, 08:37 PM

Thanks Beat!! You rocked this one!!

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Feb 15 2019, 08:49 PM

Well done, everyone! I hope I can participate in the next one! You all did a wonderful job! I even started dancing around my studio while doing some work here

Posted by: Phil66 Feb 15 2019, 09:00 PM

Brilliant EVERYONE and a special thanks to Gab, who, as usual, has gone above and beyond the call of duty to do this. Great cameo appearance from Laurent too

This is one of my favourites, I had a little dance too, maybe Ben and I could record ourselves dancing for the next one

Can't wait for the next one.

Thanks again everyone, these things are what learning guitar is all about, playing music and having fun while doing it

Posted by: DeGroot Feb 16 2019, 05:09 AM

Everyone really dialed in on the 50s vibe. Great job to everyone and enjoyed hearing all the solos. Thanks to Gabriel for another first-rate collab!

Posted by: Todd Simpson Feb 16 2019, 05:33 AM

NICE!!! I hate to have to miss this one as Id planned on doing a rip off of the rip around the clock solo which i've wanted to do forever. Good news is there was no need as everyone played great it works like crazy!!! Great job everyone!

Todd

Posted by: Farine54 Feb 16 2019, 01:20 PM

Very cool and good rendering, everything is vintage wish.

Congratulations to everyone for these goods jobs and nice guitar solos, and a big thank you to Gab for his work.

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Feb 16 2019, 07:54 PM

Wow the level of creativity in this one is mind blowing - and it's so cool how you caught the perfect vibe for it! And it feels great to see Maharzan and Piotr in a collab again.

This one totally slipped of my radar and I really regret I didn't record a take in time. It's a good thing there will soon be a new one

Putting this one up on the frontpage now!

Posted by: MisterM Feb 16 2019, 08:36 PM

Hi

Great collab

it is a shame that the take of Piotr is not complete, it has not been delivered on the forum

Why do you keep HD on Piotr and You ?
Why you enlarged with this quality aspect 360p on our take ?

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 16 2019, 11:17 PM

Thanks Cael!! I hope to see you on the next one!!




Thanks mate!! I really agree with your last sentence here.





Thanks for joining mate!!




Thanks Todd!! I missed your take on this one!




Congrats on your first collab!!




Thanks a lot Kris!! I would really like to hear what you would play over this backing!




Hi mate!! I didn't do anything special with takes but I suspect that maybe the youtube download made your takes look with less quality. I honestly didn't note this before you said it because your videos go great with the dancing videos.

Posted by: Adam M Feb 17 2019, 12:15 AM

Great work, everyone! It really fits the theme of 50's and the dancing scenes make it even better. You did an amazing job putting it together, Gab!

Posted by: MisterM Feb 17 2019, 05:59 AM

Hi

It’s blurry and not beautiful. I don't understand ? Youtube allows download in HD.
It reduces the pleasure of the eyes

Posted by: maharzan Feb 17 2019, 09:39 AM

Wow, The overall track sounds so cool!! Great job guys and Thanks Grabiel for putting it together.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 17 2019, 02:13 PM

It was my fault mate. Sorry about it! I’m so used to deal with low quality files when doing this collabs so I didn’t re-check the original youtube vids.

However, the low fi fits well with the dancing scenes.





Thanks a lot for your words and for joining!!





I really enjoyed working on this one!! Thanks for joining mate!!
