Hi to all GMC players who wanna test their funky playing abilities. Heres the backing.

THe song is in E7 at 120bpm. Good luck

Posted by: Joey Dec 18 2007, 11:47 PM

i was bored so i sort of ad libbed a crappy 2nd guitar to the backing track. i made sure to make it barely audible because im self consious and i know it sucks lol
but at any rate at least i tried
il work on soloing if youre not full up on the collab, that might be a little better, i only spent like 2 minutes on the 2nd backing part

lol my backing is louder than i thought. and i realized it doesnt go with yours too well oohhh welll

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Dec 19 2007, 12:23 AM

@Joey

Don`t worry I`ll try to mix it up well.

@cofeeman

You forgot to give me the other track. You must provide a track with your guitar only, so I can mix it up properly. PLease sned only your guitar, that is a very interesting soloing you got there

Grr, I'de do it but funk is excactly my worst area....

EDIT: Oh its uploads nevermind

Posted by: coffeeman Dec 19 2007, 12:26 AM

Sorry Ivan. I attached it in my first post. Thanks for the comment.

I'll include every one I find here, until the collab is over. So keep sending your soloing.

Posted by: fatb0t Dec 19 2007, 11:43 PM

Smells, your recording rocks man. Really dig it.

Posted by: Smells Dec 19 2007, 11:50 PM

thanks

Posted by: Joey Dec 20 2007, 03:16 AM

when's the collab over?

Posted by: USAMAN Dec 20 2007, 04:46 AM

a quick noodle job...its kinda sloppy. I've had no time to do anything lately so here is a first take hack track.

Dont be to harsh on me, this is my first upload.

Peace.

This backing track has a cool groooooove.

Posted by: Crazyfret Dec 20 2007, 04:21 PM

Okay here's my first collab upload. Having listened to the other entrants I'm some way short in my improvising skills! You guys are fantastic!

I need to find a better way of importing the backing track with Riffworks. It's ok sound quality wise but could be better.

I think you may recognise the opening riff as a nod to funky town!!

Looking forward to the feedback, constructive I'm sure

edit; I've listened to my improv a day after I've done it and I really think it's terrible compared to the others . I could do with some pointers on how to add some 'colour' to my lead work. Its an area I really struggle on.

Posted by: fatb0t Dec 20 2007, 10:30 PM

Hey, this is my first recording I've ever posted here, hope you guys like it!

Any feed back would be nice

Thanks,

Jonathan

@fatb0t

Great effort man, but you must provide me a recording of your guitar only without the backings also in order to participate. I need only the guitar so I can mix it up properly. Can you send it please?



PS Only THREE MORE slots opened for funky soloing collab. Record them soon

Posted by: Iluha Dec 20 2007, 11:40 PM

If it's possible, save one spot for me, gonna be done toomarow, I would record it now but I can't plug in my guitar, everyone's sleeping

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Dec 21 2007, 12:16 AM

No rush man, off course I'll wait for you to record a solo

Posted by: JVM Dec 21 2007, 06:28 PM

I'll do my best to put one up today

Posted by: Iluha Dec 21 2007, 08:11 PM

Here's my take, preety messed up, especialy that last legato run which I completly failed in executing, I'll try rerecording before the collab ends, also PLEASE in the review give me some tips on my sound, I'm completely clueless what settings I should change to enhance it!

Posted by: Joey Dec 21 2007, 08:20 PM

im sorry milenkovic ive been really busy with finals but im done with school til january now so i should be able to try and get something recorded for my solo tonight

Posted by: JVM Dec 21 2007, 08:22 PM

Hey Iluha this is your debut into the world of recording isn't it? What kind of equipment are you using? Nice take by the way.

Posted by: Iluha Dec 21 2007, 08:29 PM

Thanks!
Not the debute, but it's only the second thing I ever recorded and posted first was the In You'r Style collab

I'm just using my BOSS Micro BR, plug in my guitar, and it records directly on it, and it has 80 preset effects, I hate most of them but till I know how to tweak them properly I'm using them.

Posted by: USAMAN Dec 22 2007, 01:19 AM

I have a micro br...Boom...a really cool unit. I use it sitting in the lazyboy all the time. Its a Kick a$$ practice tool. Does a great job at recording....kinda a nasty learning curve though. Its one of those devices that does so many different things its really hard to use it to its potential. I still think its worth every penny though. Im just to a-d-d to figure it out completely.

Posted by: Nick325 Dec 22 2007, 01:58 AM

ill have mine up in a couple of days

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Dec 22 2007, 05:29 AM

Okay guys, collab open for TWO more slots (or until the 25. december)

Posted by: Iluha Dec 22 2007, 11:46 AM

Yup, exactly, I don't regret getting it but it will take me a while to figure out how to use its full potential

Posted by: JVM Dec 23 2007, 11:28 PM

Eh.. not really satisfied with it, it doesn't seem to go anywhere or come from anywhere but anyway:

[edit] and theres the guitar only file.

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Dec 25 2007, 01:06 PM

And that's all folks for this collaboration. I wanna thank all the players who participated and hope that we will do some more collabs in the future. ALl the recordings are great in their own way and I will try to put my commnents on your playing tonight along with the final mix. See ya
