Hello guys!! Welcome to a new "connecting melodies" collab!!

This time we will use the music from a lesson that I composed inspired by Megadeth. We can let the first riffs without solos and start creating melodies over the chord progression that starts after the riffing intro.

The explanation:

"The idea is that each of as records a melody of 4 measures over the following backing track, but we have to be very organized to do this cool and fluently. I recorded the first melody, if you want to be the next GMC:er that adds a melody you must say: "I'm recording my melody right now!", download the files from Soundcloud that has my melody, record your melody and upload the new file.... Please don't take more than 5/10 minutes to record the solo so you just have to say the magic phrase once you really know what you are going to play. (maybe once you have it recorded!)."

backing track (150 bpm):  Connecting_melodies_3.mp3 ( 5.62MB ) : 202


Check info about the backing track, chords and scales here: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/i_want_to_play_in_megadeth/

Who starts???

I think I'll have to have a lot of practice at that lesson to get up to speed to join this one Gab!!

I think this one is a bit high for my level of playing

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 13 2013, 02:20 PM

Don't worry guys! The idea is to connect simple melodies over this one! It's for every level.

Posted by: mroberts70 Feb 15 2013, 07:25 PM

Thank you sir, just trying to make up for that horrible mess of playing last week in the vchat... I was caught off guard on that one.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 24 2013, 10:52 PM

Ok guys, our third song is VERY slow while the previous were so fluently... Do you find this track too difficult to jam?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Feb 25 2013, 01:51 AM

I'll have something done in the next couple of days Gab!!

Posted by: DeGroot Feb 25 2013, 02:51 AM

BTW: Sorry - it took a bit longer than expected because I had to convert SoundShapingDotCom's take first... it was a 32bit wav-file and GarageBand couldn't handle it. I hope it works now!

Posted by: DeGroot Mar 22 2013, 07:57 AM

Hey guys and gals,

Bumping this up to see if we can finish this track. Anyone up for recording a melody?

1:32 - 1:39 ish

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Mar 25 2013, 03:47 PM

Nice take! Thanks mate! Isn't the last note cut?

Posted by: vonhotch Mar 25 2013, 07:04 PM

Yea, I am not very good at counting time and kept ending it in the wrong place so I tried to just cut it off. It does sound a bit abrupt. I will redo it tonight, when I get home. Unless someone else wants to go, then just forget this one and I will jump in after them.


Ok, fixed.
