IS THAT YOUR MAMA?
Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.
I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:
* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!
* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.
We'll have one/ two of those a week and you'll be blazing in no time! How does that sound?|

That sounds like a plan.
So here is the track re-recorded at 65 bpm with drums. I've basically just looped the pattern you asked me to put together through for now. https://soundcloud.com/llibach/flood-plain-drum This post has been edited by llibach: Jan 29 2013, 12:17 AM |

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Jan 29 2013, 07:53 AM)  This sounds so awesome and it would most likely turn into a good song  Something in the direction of a System of Down ballad or maybe even more avantgarde?  Anyway, how about putting in some drum fills? Let's try everything you hear in your head - one fill each 4 bars?I'm not completely happy with the fills but at least it's a start. I still can't get EZ to work as a midi instrument unless I put down a sample piece and modify it to what I want. https://soundcloud.com/llibach/flood-plain-drum |

I've used some triplets in the last few fills this time, sounds better now I think.
Is there some general rules, I've started to pick things up now after talking a bit with my drummer and concentrating more on drum parts off my favourite albums. So hats basically always get played, bass would normally be on 1st and 3rd with the snare on the 2nd and 4th. Is that pretty much how it goes in it's basic form? https://soundcloud.com/llibach/flood-plain-drum |

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Feb 2 2013, 08:39 AM) This sounds more fluid man, I like what you did - now, I wouldn't think about general rules as for me (remember, I am not a drummer  ) things always went down at 'how do I make my music sound solid using a drum groove which serves the music'. The way I do it is, I come up with a riff and build the drum groove in such a way that the bass guitar, drums and guitars become one entity. Don't get scared, it takes a bit of time and practice doing this and you will learn as long as you live, but I think you are on a very good way Do you have other guitar ideas which need drumming? Yeah I was thinking maybe a heavy riff this time. I'm always unsure with faster riffs if I should try and follow the guitar part or just lay a solid groove solid behind it. I'm gonna carry on with this one too see if I can finish the song off and show you the results. Anyway here's the riff. https://soundcloud.com/llibach/under-the-gaze-of-the-wolf This post has been edited by llibach: Feb 3 2013, 12:33 AM |

This is the sort of mammoth sound that is created by taking care of serving the music and making instruments back up one another |

Hey Cosmin. After playing about with the drums I've finally got something I'm fairly happy with (not completely). I've been checking out youtube for drum tutorials and tried to implement a few of the ideas.
Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions not just about the drums but the whole thing, sound, mixing, timing etc. https://soundcloud.com/llibach/under-the-gaze-of-the-wolf This post has been edited by llibach: Feb 7 2013, 11:53 PM |

Here's another take then. I've added to the drums at the start, I was trying for some more cymbal work but wasn't getting what I was aiming for but I got near enough to get the idea. I've also double tracked the guitars and added a bass too.
It does sound a bit messy but I'm not a big fan of the over processed modern metal sound and I like the guitars a little raw and rough ( but not as raw as this ) but I'm working on it and picking up some great tips and advice off youtube tutorials.https://soundcloud.com/llibach/under-the-gaze-of-the-wolf |

I understand what you mean and indeed, this is a bit too messy at this point and it needs cleaning up. Mate, I was thinking about something more atmospheric... such as https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Deftones-Style/ (shameless pluggin, right?) In the beginning, I have worked with velocities, in order to humanize the sound of the drums - the piece has to grow into an explosion but it has to grow from a lower more discrete intensity - hope I'm making sense here What do you think?

So here's another attempt though I'm still not getting the right vibe at the start although I hope I'm getting closer.  I've also cleaned up the guitars and bass a lot too by cutting the gain and adding compression and eq. https://soundcloud.com/llibach/under-the-gaze-of-the-wolf This post has been edited by llibach: Feb 15 2013, 12:47 AM |

How does the chorus sound like? |

Ok this is real rough but just to get the idea of where I think it should go.
