Hey guys, welcome to another video collab!

I've modified one very famous blues song, for arrangement for my next blues solo lesson, so I thought it would be cool to do a nice blues collab out of it as well!

This track involves a bit different blues track as we do some cool Stop-Time Breaks for additional expression! Let's see what you will think of on this one!


Number of participants - limited to 15!
Deadline - 25th of January!
Progression - I - IV - V (E - A - B ) blues progression
Tempo: 130bpm

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 12 2009, 10:22 PM

It's a video collab! Are you in mate?

Posted by: chast Jan 12 2009, 10:22 PM

Im in please

Posted by: Toroso Jan 12 2009, 11:36 PM

OK Ivan, splain Stop Time blues please.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jan 12 2009, 11:36 PM

Count me in

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 12 2009, 11:45 PM

Stop time means simply that there are these breaks in the first 4 bars of blues progression. You can hear them in the middle of the track. This empty space leave additional space for a soloist to express himself better.

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 13 2009, 11:41 AM

Posted by: kaznie_NL Jan 13 2009, 03:04 PM

I'll get it done Count me in! Sounds like quite a hard backing to me!! BTW, it's crazy long, is that going to stay?

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 13 2009, 11:06 PM

It's there to stay! You're in mate!

Posted by: berko Jan 13 2009, 11:29 PM

Ehm Ivan, so what I'll need to do are:

- video file with BT (is avi alright?)
- audio with BT
- audio without BT

Am I correct with this list? I've never done a video collab with you so I'm not that sure

Posted by: Sensible Jones Jan 13 2009, 11:29 PM

I'd love to but I can't!
I can't do Video recordings or even Audio on this PC at the moment!
I'm just waiting for a New Hard drive for my new PC and then learn how to do all this stuff!!!

Posted by: Velvet Roger Jan 13 2009, 11:42 PM

I don't want to miss this one, I am in

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 14 2009, 12:10 AM

All I need for mixing is this:

- Video file you playing (it must have audio, but it doesn't have to be hi quality audio)
- Audio file of guitar track without the backing (good audio quality)


If you can't produce these files, any audio& video combination will do, but in order for you take to sound great, it would be cool to have those two files from above.





Sorry to hear it mate, I hope you will be in the next collab then! Let me know if you need any help at all with audio or video recording. I'm here to help!


You're in mate

Posted by: Sensible Jones Jan 14 2009, 12:22 AM

Thanks Ivan!!
I may need some help with the Video Recording when the time comes!!
Audio I'm OK with, just waiting for my new PC to finish being Built!

Posted by: berko Jan 14 2009, 11:29 AM

OK, Ivan, as far as the equipment allows me, I'm ready for this. Working on it right now...

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 14 2009, 12:08 PM

No prob mate, anything you need of course! I'm here to help! You may post a question here, on my board or via PM, I will respond immediately.


Cool mate, nice to have you onboard and to see you're working on it in such a short notice!

Posted by: leedbreak Jan 14 2009, 04:44 PM

I see an open spot me me me me

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 14 2009, 05:23 PM

You're in mate

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 15 2009, 11:49 AM

OK guys, we have one more space left on the collab! Who's gonna grab it?

Posted by: leedbreak Jan 16 2009, 03:59 AM

Is there not a start beat do we play on the first note?

Posted by: Sergio Dorado Jan 16 2009, 09:18 AM

Hello Ivan. I want to participate. Are there any space?

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 16 2009, 11:36 AM

The backing starts effectively at 0.07 mate when the drums kicks in. Depending how you guys record your takes I will possibly mix it so that everyone has their full share of the backing (in the last collab some notes were missing here and there). My point it - feel free to record over the backing, it will be OK no matter how you wanna start.


Sure Sergio, it would be my pleasure man! You will have the honor of closing down the collab!

Posted by: Marc_Maiden Jan 20 2009, 06:02 AM

i hate to do this but i need to withdraw

i just do not have time to record a video, plus my gear that i was counting on using, is delayed on coming till monday


sorry ivan!

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 20 2009, 12:41 PM

No problem mate, hope to see you on next one. I'll keep your spot for you until 31st so if you record by then it will be in the final mix! Cheers!

Posted by: Boson Jan 21 2009, 06:38 AM

Hi Ivan

Sorry I'm late any chance you can squeeze one nore in

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 21 2009, 10:32 AM

Sure mate, you're in!

Posted by: chast Jan 22 2009, 07:47 PM

I have to get out.
Got some latency issues going on and a bit time limited aswell.
Next collab for me then

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 22 2009, 11:59 PM

OK mate, no problem! Hope you got the issue sorted out. Cheers

Posted by: enforcer Jan 23 2009, 12:01 AM

Ivan I know I am late but tomorrow I'll take the shot

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 23 2009, 01:12 AM

No problem mate!

Posted by: kaznie_NL Jan 24 2009, 07:21 PM

little question, the E A B progression, they also fit in the Cmaj or Amin scale. Can I use those (Penta's ) as well?

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 25 2009, 02:22 AM

I wouldn't generally use A or C as a tonal center in E A B progression, but you can combine the notes from major key of course! Many of those notes are also in the E minor scale. Also you can check out E dorian (D major key).

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jan 25 2009, 10:24 PM

Ivan I'm sorry but I'm going to have to pull out of this collab as I just haven't the time to get it done unless tomorrow night is fine to get it done by. I have been far too busy lately.

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 26 2009, 12:05 AM

I'll give you a couple of days more OC, there's no rush, I understand. Cheers!

Posted by: Boson Jan 26 2009, 08:00 PM

Sorry not to have uploaded yet busy time at work will try innext couple of days.

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 26 2009, 10:42 PM

OK mate, I'm still waiting for your takes. I'll move the deadline to 30th January if that's OK with you all!

Posted by: enforcer Jan 26 2009, 11:51 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just kidding take your time buddy

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 27 2009, 12:52 AM

I will try to get the collab done ASAP mate, no worries!

Posted by: Boson Jan 28 2009, 11:16 PM

Ivan

Im sorry Im not going to make this. I think I have bitten off more than I am ready for. The backing is great and I thought yeah great I can do somthing with that, but I just cant find the notes/scale that sound good. I have been trying minor pent but it does not sound right to me. Perhaps it needs the maj so I had better go learn that.

Maybe next time.

Thanks for arranging this though. I will keep working at it.

Sorry

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 29 2009, 05:47 PM

Scales that would fit nicely with the backing are E minor pentatonic, E major pentatonic, and E blues scale. You can try experimenting with those scales, and if you have any questions mate feel free to ask. If you can't make it with the collab now don't worry, there will be more. Cheers!

Posted by: kaznie_NL Jan 30 2009, 02:54 PM

I used Em pent, or E blues, just how you want it It worked for me

Posted by: Boson Jan 30 2009, 09:31 PM

Thanks Ivan

I will keep at it and even though I wont make the collab I will learn from this.

Many thanks

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 31 2009, 02:16 PM

OK mate!
