First a little background...

...it all started with Cael sharing some amazing chords + progression here. It inspired me to record a jam over it. Then Ken turned into a song foundation which inspired Gab to record a jam.

So it's safe to say we're all a little inspired 😁

-----

I have started recording some vocals over Ken's backing, and I would like to try a new collab concept - where we work more actively together to build a song.

First, have a listen to what we have got so far:
Attached File  all_bout_the_song_v1.mp3 ( 488.29K ) Number of downloads: 1172


Vocals:
I really don’t need a statue
I really don’t like the smell
I feel like it’s going straight to hell



Now, try to think of what you could add to make this first verse sound better.

* maybe a super soft note played with a clean sound?
* maybe that one bent bluesy note?
* maybe a chord
* some rhythm scratch / strum?
* maybe a vocal harmony (using your guitar)
* maybe clap your hands
* maybe say/sing something?
* maybe some noise from your room / guitar
* a cool sound sample
* some virtual instrument from your DAW

As you can see I don't have any specific arrangement in mind, instead I will try whatever you send me - and use whatever I think works best for the song. Hint: it will likely not be a fast solo, especially in the beginning of the tune.

When we have found something that works for this first part we will continue with another song section, and hopefully move forward towards a finished tune in the end 🤩

----

For best results, be sure to send me a file without any reverb. However if you just want to share an idea, feel free to leave the reverb on.

Thanks Ken, those files are now in the project, I will experiment with them the coming days.

That spoken word you are hearing is probably the vocal transformer - which I have applied on the harmony/dub vocals.
