As you have probably seen, we (the instructors) did a collab which turned out pretty cool (check it here).
Now the time has come to make an even cooler one! This time around we want everyone to participate! Students, instructors, moderators, ninjas and dogs (etc). The plan is to showcase the diversity of styles we have got at GMC. When we are done with the mix I will put together a video which hopefully will get more youtube views than the last one (~50k and counting). So in a way this can be seen as a competition where the winners get to be featured in a video watched by tens of thousands, playing with some of the best guitarists out there. Not so bad, huh?! So who "wins"? -The ones with the most musical and unique takes (according to my taste...). So let's get rolling: -------------------------- BACKINGS big_collab_bt.mp3 ( 8.16MB ) Number of downloads: 3693 big_collab_bt_drums_only.mp3 ( 8.16MB ) Number of downloads: 3223 ('Drums only' are for those of you want to get really crazy.) BPM: 135 Tonality: A minor and E minor, the outro is in E major (N.B. Tune down to Eb) My take: You can try the following scales if you are using standard tuning. B major / Ab minor / Ab minor pentatonic you can also try Eb minor / Eb minor pentatonic If you are using Eb tuning (like me) C major / A minor / A minor pentatonic you can also try E minor / E minor pentatonic -------------------------- RULES Start date Friday August 13th. Takes uploaded prior to this date will be removed, this is because we want everyone to have "fresh" ears when recording their takes. We don't really have a collab deadline - I will notify in advance when I think we are starting to get enough takes. Video requirement - that's right. The end result will be a video, so I need to know that people who submit an audio take can also record a video (not valid for instructors). You can either link to an old rec take of yours or record a new video. But you need to provide evidence of your video capabalities when submitting your audio take(s). The easiest way is of course if you record audio and video at the same time. Audio The idea is that anyone may have a go at any part(s) and then I will do my best to glue it all together. All styles, speeds and instruments accepted. Please send me all takes starting from "point 0" on the backing - to make it easier for me to mix this. You can upload the mp3 here or send me the wave file for optimal quality ([email protected] - please use rapidshare.com or yousendit.com) Please do not use any reverb at all - this way I can apply the same reverb to all takes to make the mix sound more unison. -------------------------- I am personally having a blast with this backing - and expect to not only participate in this collab but also record a complete song of my own with it (most of it is actually already done! ). I hope many people will enjoy the backing so we can get a lot of participants. So what are you waiting for - join the fun!

Well, inspired by Gitarrero's bravery I decided to record a take today. My better guitar is in the shop now and I'm going to get it back soon and record another take with that one, because the guitar I used goes out of tune really easily and I think it went out of tune in the take. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't left out of this one.
I used the ending section in my solo because I haven't heard anybody else use it, but if Kris has a big finale planned I can do a new solo in a different spot, no big deal. Please give me some feedback so I can change it and do another better take! Big_GMC_Collab.mov ( 25.8MB ) Number of downloads: 300 |

One could tell you had a melodic "red thread" through out this take. The only place I felt you were into too deep was at 00:08. The arpeggio idea is really cool - but it's not played convincingly. Please send me the guitar only file so I can experiment with your take! You can either send it as it is (and I will see if I can find a work around for the 08 spot - ie by cutting in someone else there) or record again. All in all we should be able to use your take, though! ( But I cant tell 100% until I have got your file though) TO EVERYONE - WHAT WE NEED: We need more takes over the polka section. Give it a shot! |
