The Q & A Collab Something has been lacking in previous collabs! We have done a great job recording our takes, and with some “mixing magic” we have weaved them together into a final song/ medley. But I have always wanted to do a collab where we actually write something together. It struck me that the easiest way to do this, is probably by using the so called “call and response” technique. This simply means student A records a first lick and then student B records a second lick after the first lick - and there we have our call and response, or “Q & A”. For this collab I suggest a really simple backing track in E minor pentatonic: 
Q_n_A_GMC_collab.mp3 ( 1.05MB )
Number of downloads: 732As you can hear it's just just a simple rhythm guitar. This will allow us to take the track in any direction we want, depending on the contributions we get. The track has a very bluesy vibe, but rock licks will work as well. It’s taken from Stephane’s Bottleneck Blues Lesson. I will be taking part in the Q&A as well - and I am really looking forward to it!  So how do we kick this off? Record a first lick and upload it here, the idea is then for someone else to record over the file you uploaded. All instruments are welcome (especially guitar!  ) I will gradually be completing the final track, and everybody will get to follow the development of the end product in this thread. As soon as we have started getting student takes - we'll also analyse how to approach the backing and the “call and response" technique. Does anybody want to start this off?  Info: * backing track is in 84 bpm * no deadline, we’ll just keep going until we have a finished track * please also send me the "guitar only" file, starting from point 0, without any effects (preferably a wav file) * Suggested scale:  ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________ RESULTS / FINAL MIX Ok my friends - I don't think anyone will object when I say this is probably the most unpredictable collab we have ever done. And that is the nature of Q & A - you never know what your music pal / band mate will answer. The conversation can land anywhere. And so it it did. Ladies & Gentlemen - may I introduce, for the first time ever - 12-bar blues and DEATH REGGAE in the same song: >>> Download track <<< Some credit clarifications 00:03 Todd Simpson trading lines with my vocals 01:07 Short reply by Phil 02:55 Laurent (Fzalfa) is back some a hi gain lead, Phil added atmospheri, sustained whammy notes during his take 03:22 Chris S hi gain lead The very last take (04:16) is by James who found the collab on facebook (he is not a member here - yet )Other credits are sung (or rather barked ) by me throughout the track.Thank you so much, this collab was a blast for me!
Reason for edit: also send me the "guitar only" file, starting from point 0, without any effects (preferably a wav file)

I'm definitely in
This could become an epic 10 minute Red House style jam I'm in Spain until Saturday, I've listened to the backing, have some ideas in my head but whether I can get them into my fingers is another thing   Great one Kris  -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.
