Hello GMC'ers Well, I just can't believe it

I don't know if you've seen this yet but our great GMC Instructors are planning another collab. This time it's going to be a cover of "Smoke On The Water" originally performed by Deep Purple. Here's the link for those that haven't
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=17924

Thing is, it's going to be done as an "ad" so to speak for GMC and is just for the instructors - how dare they keep all the fun to themselves!
This got me thinking though - I was wondering if any of you would be interested in doing a cover of the same song to rival theirs. I'm talking full song, vocals and all. Even a video if your up to it. So, tell me what you think. Interested in a bit of rivalry to show them we can make a better version than they can?

Cheers,
Steve

Absolutelly

We should at least give it a shot

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Aug 1 2008, 09:07 PM

I'm up for it.

How dare they! *get's a rubber chicken to annoy some instuctors*

Seriously though, good iniative. By making an video to accompany the one made by the instructors, you can show what the students can do and have learned. But also show what a great community GMC is.

I was already considering getting an USB mic. But this might be the oppertunity to see If I'm worthy of participating.

Good idea, and I really mean this,

Great idea!! A bit of good old fashion epic pwnage

This would be awesome. I don´t know if I can participate because I´ve got only a camera to record myself which sound awful. :S Could that sound pass? What do you think guys?

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Aug 1 2008, 09:29 PM

I would be in, except i dont have a camera to record myself..

Posted by: JeroenKole Aug 1 2008, 09:38 PM

On the camera bit, it is possible to record sound seperately from the camera. I think there was a lesson about that.

I haven´t seen this yet... Could you give me a link?

One of the lessons had a part about recording sound and video seperately, but you'll have to watch it trough.

Ok GMC,

Glad some of you like the idea. I see the Instructors have 20 or so signed up already. We won't talk video vs audio at this point, just let me hear who else is interested!

I'd be up for it

Posted by: Canis Aug 2 2008, 03:05 AM

Well.. I have no idea how complex the rest of the song is, since I'm only familiar with the standard "first-thing-you-ever-learn-to-play" bit, but I guess I can contribute something ^^

Posted by: Smikey2006 Aug 2 2008, 04:10 AM

can it be an actual cover.. example is .. well i play metal.. so.. metal? I would love to contribute if i get the software im looking at in the near future.. ive been really contimplating Guitar Rig 3 and protools and i might just go buy it.. so ill try and keep informed on whats going on and if i have the means i definatly will!

Posted by: skennington Aug 2 2008, 04:34 AM

Thanks for the interest Smikey. It's open at this point, I'm just "fishing" to see who all will be willing to go at it with the Instructors. Let's go guy's and gal's!

I was so excited and ready to ask if a solo spot was open then I misclicked something and found our I was in the instructors board... I was le sad...


So in other words

HECK YES I'D WANT TO DO THIS!

Posted by: Tolek Aug 2 2008, 10:07 AM

Thanks. I remember these video tutorials, but I not sure if I saw that they recorded it separatly... I´ll see.

Anyway, I want to participate, too. However, I´ll be on vacation from 4th to 15th or so. After this, I could record my stuff.

Edit:
Just watched the video. David uses an audio interface, but I haven´t one. I´ll have to do it in another way...

I am so in for a rythm part

Posted by: Matt23 Aug 2 2008, 10:50 AM

This would be great. I'm definitely in. Great idea.

Posted by: audiopaal Aug 2 2008, 12:17 PM

Great idea

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Aug 2 2008, 01:52 PM

Ok, I guess this could be interesting ...

By all means keep this thread going to sign people up Skenny, but please run it as a normal collab in the usual place

May the best version win!

Posted by: skennington Aug 2 2008, 04:51 PM

Will do Andrew, It's on!

Ok guys,

I'm going to open a thread in the Collab Board so we can further discuss this opportunity to show them instructors what we are made of! Anyone else wishing to participate, please come on over to the collab's and post up your thought's.

Smoke On The Water,
Steve
