Hey guys!

We are thinking about starting a new collab already, while the Blues Rock one has its takes mixed and matched for the final video! We were wondering what style would you like to solo in, so let's share some opinions in this thread to see what would go best. So let's see - what will September's theme be?

Metal, Rock, Pop, Country, Acoustic, Funk or maybe something more unusual and exotic? Sinisa's world music lessons have amazing backing tracks The idea is to have something that we can all enjoy together in a monster jam, as usual!

What style would YOU enjoy?

I'd like either some metal backing track or some ballad stuff, I think.

Posted by: Renan Aug 29 2014, 05:58 PM

Maybe a jazz collab ? Fusion rock stuff , Allan holdsworth etc...

Posted by: Nava Aug 29 2014, 06:17 PM

One thing I want to do, someday, is some heavy funk!
Maybe it has already been done..
Ballad is always full of emotions and therefor a true challenge:)

Interesting to see what it will be

I'd love to give a shot at a funky rock fusion thing.

Posted by: bleez Aug 29 2014, 09:27 PM

A pink Floydy type ballad or a 70's Doom / stoner style.

Posted by: Opetholic Aug 30 2014, 06:26 AM

Damn lots of nice suggestions
I would like something progressive. Progressive metal or progressive rock backing with some signature changes and whatnot would be cool..

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Aug 30 2014, 07:05 AM

Hehe! Such a nice combo here Keep the suggestions coming guys! I'm starting to get some nice ideas and I will discuss them today with Bogdan and Gabi - in the mean time, let's see some more thoughts on your preferences!

Yea a Pink Floyd version would be awesome.

So would a funk rock version. Something over the genre of Tom Morello or Mike Einziger (though Einziger isn't really a solo a guy, but the bass lines for Incubus are incredible rhythms).

I like playing over rock ballads backing tracks.

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Aug 30 2014, 10:21 AM

Seems like a lot of you guys want the ballads Let's see what other ideas arise until Monday and we'll decide next week

Posted by: Guido Bungenstock Aug 30 2014, 10:58 AM

My next lesson is in the pipeline. It's a epic rock ballad something in the style of Neal Schon, great for emotional soloing! So this should be something you would really like guys. :-D

Posted by: Jim S. Aug 30 2014, 02:55 PM

I saw your last ballad lesson months and my legs are still shaking! Is it going to be harder or softer?

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 30 2014, 04:21 PM

Great topic Cosmin! We will be monitoring the posts here to start a new Collab soon!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Aug 31 2014, 07:51 AM

A ballad sounds very nice and judging on your last backing tracks, this will most likely be a killer one again

What do you guys think?

Posted by: Guido Bungenstock Aug 31 2014, 12:00 PM

Thx Jim!
The next ballad sounds a bit like an outer space filmscore with some classical touch but really emotional. Hard to describe. :-D

Thx Cosmin! :-)

Posted by: Nava Aug 31 2014, 04:43 PM

I really LOVE Neil Schon, the lines and melodies in Hardlines first album ))

Thats my man

Looking forward to hear the backing track, G-master

So guys, can I jump to the conclusion that everybody is in for the ballad theme?

Posted by: Guido Bungenstock Sep 1 2014, 10:58 AM

hi i'm using this backing to be a rock ballad hero... it's kind of pink floyd rock direstrasits thing....

I'm in for a ballad also!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 2 2014, 06:25 AM

Well, well It seems like the ballad it will be, gentlemen!

We'll announce the new collab pretty soon, so stay tuned!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 2 2014, 01:40 PM

I look forward to it!!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 3 2014, 06:29 AM

We are currently selecting the backing track A bit difficult as we have nice options and Guido's track sounds A-MA-ZING already!

Posted by: Guido Bungenstock Sep 7 2014, 11:37 AM

Thx a lot, Cosmin! :-))
Also wait for the epic melody I wrote for it. It will make you cry, guys!
This will be my next lesson by the way and should be finished between the next days. Hope you'll like it!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 8 2014, 07:06 AM

We're looking forward to hear it, Guido Why not make a post about it? I am sure a lot of folks would enjoy listening and finding out a thing or two from behind the scenes - what inspired you, how did the recording process go and so on

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 9 2014, 10:39 AM

Hello gentlemen!

Please take a look in here: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=52969

The new collab is on

Posted by: SirJamsalot Sep 16 2014, 06:56 PM

Cosmin!
What about a 3 note solo collab? They say it is better to play one note really really really well, than 1000 notes okay... A collab devoted to making one or only a few notes sound really well

I have no idea what that would look like, but a collab to focus on playing that one note really well seems a noble cause

I don't know if I can still give sugestions, but how about a songwriting-colab?
Where all the participants can write a part of the song..

Just a thought!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 17 2014, 07:33 AM

Hey Jams and Lester - we'll keep these ideas for later use of course We haven't yet thought about next month's collab, so your suggestions are more than welcome! In the mean time - this one is up and running and we'd love to have you participating with us as well: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=52969

What do you think?

Posted by: Lester Sep 17 2014, 05:07 PM

I think I'm in!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 18 2014, 07:19 AM

Hah! Great, welcome then!
