Ahoy GMC! It's time to play it down and dirty with the Dynamite Collab! That means that we want you to spill all your energy into this one! We have prepared a metal set of backings, one for the beginners and one for the more advanced players, but the whole idea here is to be as full of energy as possible - bend, slide, alternate pick, play legato or tapping, it really doesn't matter, as long as you make it explosive and noisy!
The first backing track is dedicated to beginner players and you can deploy the G minor pentatonic scale over it, while the Intermediate backing brings up the E Locrian mode, so more advanced players can have a ball as well. Working and participating in collabs will give you the type of input you cannot achieve when practicing on your own - so even if you feel shy about this, you should give it a serious try. You will improve in unpredictable ways for certain! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKING TRACKS: Beginner Backing:

Number of downloads: 388This collab is based on Gabriel's lesson, which you can find here as a reference: John 5 Style Lesson Tempo: 170 BPM Key: G minor and F major (E Locrian) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's everything you need to know about how to enter this collaboration: 1. Download the backing track and open it in your recording software 2. Record your part in the recording software and with your video cam (if you have the possibility to record video). You can record anything - a short fill part, rhythm based ideas, or a full lead part (solo). 3. Render one track containing your recording only - 16 bit wave file 44,1 kHz 4. Render one track containing both solo and backing track in an .mp3 format 5. Send us your video (preferably in .mp4 format) As always, you can send us the last 3 files mentioned, using a dropbox link, or any other transfer service you are used to, by posting them in this thread or attaching them to a private message. If you can't submit a video, you can send us only the audio files and some pictures of you - it will work out great as well! The more pictures you send, the better will it be for editing in the final video! When attaching/sending the collab files, please include the source file of the video as well. Very important: IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER/ ADVANCED/ PRO/ GOD - all styles, approaches and all levels are welcome and you can even play just a short fill if you feel like it! Bringing your contribution to this track and tribute to the GMC community is what really matters! Collab tips: As in the previous collabs, we want this one to stand out as much as possible, because this will give your playing and progress maximum exposure. So here's what we suggest: Making short but polished and detailed lines will always give you better results! If you focus on a short part of the backing track, then you will most likely amaze yourself and others! No explicit need to play over the full backing track length, so just pick up any amount of bars you feel most comfortable playing over, as it's always better to come up with something short but catchy or memorable and in this case, full of energy! Check out these lessons for inspiration: Pentatonic Licks - Beginner Pentatonic Licks Intermediate Combining the pentatonic with the locrian mode Scales you could use: G minor pentatonic  E locrian  Advanced tips: - regardless of the fact that it's a faster paced backing set, you don't necessarily need to play speedy runs - if you interpret the notes you play in a dynamic manner and vibrato or bend a lot, creating a sense of movement, it can bringup far better results than trying to play fast when you feel uncomfortable with it. These are just tips, so experiment having these directions in mind, as I am sure you will discover a lot of interesting possibilities! Remember - the only thing we require is that you participate and be yourself - there are no rules, and no limits! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deadline: December 5th Participants: Cosmin Lupu, Gabriel Leopardi, huargo, Rhida, kiendop, Todd Simpson, Chris.

QUOTE (huargo @ Nov 20 2014, 04:34 PM) Hi i'm in too... Thanks a lot for your work Cosmin making it this possible. Ok I'll break the ice. This is the way im going with this collab... now i'm playing a 150 bpm for compositing purposes... I hope to play it in real time... hard work again Hi Huargo! Thanks for breaking the ice on this one! Your solo sounds very good over the backing. It's not easy to make Locrian mode sound always good and you did it! The note choices are very good over the backing's riff, both when you play melodic ideas and faster stuff. As Cosmin said, there are some licks to polish on this one and I really recommend you to take the time to work on them. It's very good for our playing to isolate those licks from our own solos that have timing issue and polish them, in other words, it means to polish our own style, and that should the main goal!
