Chris S.'s Music Theory Journey, for Gab's Army |
HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hey Gab!
Before moving onto the last part of the lesson I wanted to pay my tribute/respects with a Cranberries cover. A beautiful and unique voice, gone too soon  |

That's very nice mate! I still remember the impact of this song the first time I've heard it. It was a bomb.
I'm also working on something...

Hi Chris!
Escape the fate lesson is a lot better now! You are very close mate. And the cover is perfect! That's a very cool song, so I've enjoyed the whole playthrough. A small detail that I would like to mark is that the EQ of the guitas could be worked. The problem appears when you add the second rhythm guitar, it seems that this guitar or maybe the sum of both bring low end issues to the mix. If you already have the mix, check it out and experiment with possible solutions. Keep on the great job! -------------------- My lessons

I agree with the mix - I'm not sure why but when I recorded the second guitar is sounded "off" - as if the guitar was slightly out of tune with the other one although this was not the case. The EQ adjustments I did made it better than it was originally but I'll explore it further to see if I can nail the root of the problem and fix it. |

Yeah, but nothing very serious, just small details that make the take sound natural, now that I've rechecked it, I wouldn't mind about it. It's done.
I'm sorry about your hand issue, take care of it. It's a good move to rest for some days. -------------------- My lessons

Hey Gab! I come bearing three things:
1.) I posted my REC take for the Escape the Fate lesson, hope I made ya proud! 2.) Since I remixed Goodbye about 20 times so far and haven't been happy with it at all I decided to give up and hand everything over to a professional and I think he did an amazing job! So this song is now 100% officially done and I will no longer touch it. http://soundcloud.com/stortzmusic/ashley-graham-goodbye-mixedmastered-by-jonah-walton 3.) El Cazador is my all time favorite Cirse song, and I would be absolutely honored if you were to teach me how to play it so I could cover it. However, if that is an issue with you, the band, label, etc - I will not be offended if you say no and I will continue on with the Senses Fail cover. \m/ This post has been edited by Chris S.: Feb 14 2018, 12:53 AM |

Hi Chris!
I'll check your take at REC. The new mix is awesome. It sounds excellent in my studio monitors! It's top quality. Congratulations!!! Are you going to release it at Spotify or anything? It really deserves it. Regarding "El Cazador", I would be honoured! I don't have tabs done yet but I'll think on something. -------------------- My lessons

Thanks man - I'll have to look into the whole Spotify thing!
As for the next lesson I was thinking this one: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Post-H...-I-Silverstein/ I really dig the tapping part - it kind of reminds me of the tapping part at 15 seconds for Gojira's - Silvera (although the overall song is heavier) which is a cover I plan on doing in the future: As for El Cazador - thanks for agreeing to help me learn the song, I can't wait to become THE HUNTER! |

Hi Chris! That's a killer track by Gojira! I like the overall sound and riffs. I've never been too much into their style.
Silverstein lesson is a good choice to continue, let's go for it. -------------------- My lessons

Hola, Gab!
So I have a new song in the works (sort of new, I revisited an older tune I wasn't happy with at the time) and I was wonder what you think of the structure (not so much sound, as it's not mixed). The electric piano you hear is the vocal melody, I only have it done for some parts not the whole song - but it will feature a female lead. https://soundcloud.com/stortzmusic/perfect-bg2

Hi Chris,
on a first heard, I can say that I like the overal vibe of this tune. The rhythms are interesting and the vocal melody is catchy. I need to give it more heards to have a deeper comment regarding structure. What are you thoughts about it? -------------------- My lessons
