Hey there everyone!
I thought I would try my hand at a collaboration. Yes I know, its 01:38 here in Toronto, Ontario and I'm sitting on the computer writing and recording a backing track. Silly I know but when you can't sleep, why not play guitar?
Here are the specs for this track:
Tempo: 85bpm
Key: D Major
Time Signature: 4/4
Chord Progression:
||: Dmaj7 | Bm7 | Em7 | A7 :|| F#m7 | Bm | G . A . | D ||
It would be best if the participants recorded two takes. One with the backing track and the other without the backing track.
I had to cap this collaboration at MAX 6 participants because of the business in my schedule in the upcoming month. Any level will be accepted!
Participents
1: gibsonmatte
2: -zion- (recorded)
3:
4: DaniHel (recorded)
5: leedbreak
6: berko (recorded)
Hey hey!
Awesome backing dude! I would love to join this collab if possible?
In!
that could be fun... i would like to join..
awesome backing btw..
When would be deadline for this one?
Hey !
I'd like to try for my first collaboration . However im in France from this friday till next sunday the 22. of february.. Hope you won't put the deadline in between there.
I'm thinking about making it March 1st so you shouldn't have to worry. It will greatly depend on when the list is full. I'll make sure to let you know. But for now, you are in!
i was playing around with it the other day, and my string broke.. WHAT??! i haven't done that for like... forever..
it's not that easy to do a solo.. i am pretty new at this, but i hope i can do something to do your great progression justice.
Haha, far from great progression. Sorry to say, but I'm not completely happy with it. Who knows, maybe this is the way all great songwriters feel.
Its a tricky backing to comfortably develop a mood with, partly because its short and there's not a lot of room to maneuver. My best advice is to not make it too complicated, but still create an atmosphere that the listener can connect with.
Happy hunting! And best of luck with the rest of your strings lol
Groovy, i´d like to participate =D

Edited!
I was feeling so groovy after listening to the track that i just pickup up the guitar and recorded a solo in one take! Here it is the take with the track and the take with solo only
Cheers!
hey mate..
i've also completed my take of it.. so here it is..
btw... LOVE your city..
Yes, thankfully i saved the cubase session.
I´l upload the mp3 version in a moment!
Come on people, need more entrants!
There are many stuff going on for me atm, but I'd like to have a go at this!
I love the chordprogression, so thanks for that
Sorry for taking so long, here are the mp3 versions:

Man that is a cool backing, I'm in
Come on folks, lets get a few more. If you only get a few make the parts longer
berko, leedbreak, you guys are in.
I've also decided to cap the availability at 6 because I feel I might not be able to do more than that in the next couple of weeks.
So the deadline is March 1. If that's no good for some, I could make an exception, just let me know.
Thanks DaniHel for posting the Mp3s.
Hey colonel!
Thanks again for the opportunity, here is my take! My only problem was that the count-in beats were way too silent in your backing so basically I had to cut them off and make them louder in a separate track.

Good job on getting the recordings done so soon you guys. Still waiting on Gibsonmatte and Leedbreak.
Also, sad to say, we lost a member because he's too cluttered with more important things. Hopefully we can grab one more to add in to this collaboration!
If we don't get one by the due date, then I'll record a take to fill the gap.
Hope everyone's doing well!
Hi!
So sorry for not being able to upload my take yet but I'll do so later today? Is that ok?
And here it is!
I actually had some problems with coming up with a cool solo and instead I ended up with a "childish theme". I kind of like though (otherwise I wouldn't upload it )
As always there as some places where the timing sucks but I hope it's good enough for you guys!

Sweet! We have all the recordings done. Now with a member missing, I guess I'll record a take just to make it even. Should be expecting the results in a couple of days
Cool =D
MAN
Life is stressful in March. Sorry for not updating you guys sooner. The mix WILL be done this weekend I promise you. I'll save you all the details but put it this way: my credit card was stolen, my car broke down, I have an audition for university to prepare for, and I'm testing all of my students this week. On top of it all I had 2 funerals to go to and a lot of headaches. So this last 10 days have been a little pressed for "fun" time. I promise you'll get it by Sunday.
Thanks for all your patience
I'm in!
Edit: added takes.
ill hit it!
ooops just realized how old this is! hahaa
