Hey friends! Welcome to my new collab!

This one is based on a Punk Rock backing track taken from my new http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/20-Punk-Bands-In-one-song/.

If you listen to the backing, you'll identify 3 parts from the lesson (DieToten Hosen, Rise Against and Social Distortion) You can go to those parts in the lesson to learn the chords and rhythm.

 Punk_Collab_Backing.mp3 ( 1.17MB ) : 293



You can record solos over the whole backing or you can choose one part and solo over it. The same goes for the vocals, you can create lyrics and vocal lines for the part that you like more.


Tempo: 90 bpm


Guitar Solos:

If you are planning to solo over this one, you can use G major over the first (Die Toten Hosen), A minor (Rise Against) over the second one and G major over the third one (Social Distortion). You can use also use the Pentatonic scales.

Vocals:

Everybody is invited to record vocals and write lyrics.


Files:

You can share audio files for the audio mix and also a video or picture for the final video.


Deadline: January 10th

I’m really glad with the final results of this one so thanks everybody who joined this one and specially Gitarrero for writing lyrics and singing vocals for this one.

Participants:

Gabriel Leopardi – Rhythm Guitar & Vocals
Gitarrero – Vocals & Guitar arrangements
Trigger - Lead Guitar & arrangements
MossRoller – Lead Guitar
Phil66 – Guitar melodies in verse
Kristofer Dahl – Epic Guitar Solo
Procyon – Second Epic Solo

Some extra comments:

Gitarrero: You have composed really tasty vocal melodies and lyrics for this one. I think that it’s time to form your punk band and tour with Die Toten Hosen! Your guitar track is also epic and could be full used if this weren’t a collab with many players. By the way, I noticed that the verse riff fits great in the mix. Keep rocking!

Trigger76: Your solo is very tasty. I love how your tone fits with the backing. I think that the use of wah wah and the guitar harmonics are killer choices. Everything is perfectly played so you rock mate. Congrats!

MossRoller: Your phrasing is very tasteful, I enjoy listening to your hole solo over and over. Except by some little sections where lines direction is not totally defined, the overall is killer! Thanks for the cool looking video!

Phil66: I’m glad that you’ve decided to join this one! It’s a pity that I didn’t receive a video from you but your name is shown on screen. It’s not easy to add a guitar solo when vocals are sounding, but in this case, your solo fit great! Thanks mate!

Procyon: Your solo is really cool and could be an instrumental song by itself. You managed really well structure and have a very Satch feel. Well done!

Tflava: You are a very hard worker student and I’m glad to find that your playing is becoming very musical. There are things to clean in your solo, and technique to adjust but the idea is clear and cool to hear. Keep working!

Chris GLP: Killer solo, perfect technique and Gibson Les Paul warmness. Your solo is very enjoyable and fits really well with the style. Thanks for your entry!

Bleez: As I've said via PM, there was something wrong with the scale choices for your solo so I couldn't make it fit. I'm sorry about it!

Posted by: Phil66 Dec 23 2015, 10:28 PM

I'll have a go, it sounds tricky with all the changes but I'll try

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Dec 23 2015, 11:15 PM

Don't worry about changes, you can jam over the first section in E minor if you are not comfortable with changes.

Posted by: WeePee Dec 23 2015, 11:21 PM

Oh, yes. I'm in

Yep!! I should be able to get something done!!

Posted by: Phil66 Dec 24 2015, 10:12 PM

Struggling, waiting for others to post to get some inspiration

Posted by: MossRoller Dec 25 2015, 06:04 PM

Hi, Well I'll give this a shot. I patched together a few rough guitar takes.
Not sure if this very punkish though.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Dec 26 2015, 08:04 PM

Hi mate! Thanks for your take! I like what you've done over each section! There are many cool ideas that will help me to build a great song. The only parts that shows little issues are the connection between parts where you keep a note which doesn't fit good with the new part starting, but this is not a problem because I'm going to combine this with other takes.

If this is your final take please remember to share the only guitar file.

Posted by: tflava Dec 26 2015, 08:18 PM

Hello Guys,

Here a first shot.
Just some ideas. Maybe you have some advice?

Thanks already.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Dec 26 2015, 11:35 PM

Hi Tim, thanks for your recording!

Your takes over part 1 and 2 sounds better to me. The first one (over Die Toten Hosen) could be improved by targeting more chord notes. You are playing a very melodic idea so most of the notes are long. I recommend you to re-check them and see which ones could be switched by a chord note which will make your solo more connected with the backing. I suggest doing this exercise: Choose the note that you like less from the solo and change it for a third of the chord that is sounding. Then tell me if you feel it improves it.

The solo over the second part starts ok, but then the ideas are not clear, you need to re-work the following phrases. Try simpler stuff.

Posted by: MossRoller Dec 28 2015, 05:33 AM

Hi everyone,
Well I still needed to record a video, so I tried to fix those ugly notes on this take.

That red Rec light and trying to play standing up...
Would you like the 'guitar only' files from both takes or is the one from this video fine?

I found out it's really important to light up that green screen...

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Dec 28 2015, 01:58 PM

Lots of tasty melodies and a really cool looking video! You rock mate. Thanks a lot!

Please share the guitar only file from the video take.

Anybody else working on this one? Any lyrics or vocal ideas?

Posted by: Phil66 Dec 28 2015, 07:53 PM

Much harder than I anticipated to come up with ideas. I think it's harder for me with fast paced backing. Also this time of year messes with routines and schedules

Cheers

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Dec 29 2015, 01:30 PM

You have a message at the mentoring thread.

Posted by: Phil66 Dec 29 2015, 02:07 PM

Thanks Gab,
I've replied

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Dec 29 2015, 04:09 PM

Me too.

Posted by: Phil66 Dec 29 2015, 05:30 PM

And me

Posted by: Procyon Dec 29 2015, 05:57 PM

This backing sounds awesome! I think I'm in too - here is something like my first idea...

Good job Moss really like the melodies you've put together, some of it reminded me of Vai type note selection.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Dec 30 2015, 03:11 PM

Hi Procyon!! This solo sounds really good! Your phrasing is very tasty on this one! I'm happy to find your take for this collab here. Thanks for joining mate.

Remember to share the only guitar file.






Hi friend! Welcome to the forum! Great to find your comment here. Are you planning to join this collab? You're invited!

Posted by: Trigger76 Dec 30 2015, 05:19 PM

Thanks for the welcome :-) I'll pop a track down for sure, just joined the site, it's a great site love how it's all structured, nice to see an active forum too.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Dec 31 2015, 04:38 PM

Great to read this! Enjoy GMC and let me know if you need any guidance withy our practice.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 2 2016, 04:39 PM

8 days friends!

Posted by: Procyon Jan 2 2016, 10:01 PM

Thank you, Gab!
Yes, of course I will post the guitar only track - but I want to polish my solo a little bit before. Maybe I will be able to record a video, too.

Posted by: Trigger76 Jan 3 2016, 12:42 PM

nice job \m/

Posted by: Trigger76 Jan 3 2016, 07:17 PM

My knowledge of punk is fairly limited, this is my first quick stab at it, admittedly it sounds like the love child of Green Day and Blink182 ;-0

Posted by: Procyon Jan 3 2016, 10:32 PM

So here are the final files... still not as perfect as it should be, but I had to do it now because I will have only little time for guitar playing in the near future

I tried to create some sort oft punkish video... ?!




@Trigger76: hey, that's great stuff - go ahead!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 4 2016, 04:37 AM

Hey mate! This is great! It sounds VERY punk. It's simple, catchy and melodic as the great bands would do it. You can polish your playing a little more but it's not totally necessary for this collab. I'll wait for your guitar only take and maybe a video?





You rock mate, thanks a lot for your effort. This is great.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 5 2016, 01:33 PM

5 days to go friends! We still need more solos, lyrics and vocals!!

Who else is in?

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 5 2016, 01:36 PM

I keep trying but nothing sounds punk enough to me.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 5 2016, 01:43 PM

I'd like to hear. It doesn't need to sound punk, it should sound just cool.

Posted by: ChrisGLP Jan 6 2016, 03:10 PM

Hi Gab, I have also tried to play something to the second part of the track... I have made my own solo so "difficult" for me that I am at the absolute limit...

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 6 2016, 05:19 PM

Fyi I don't think this is correct, it should be 90 bpm.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 6 2016, 05:43 PM

Totally right Kris, it's now fixed. It's 90 / 180 bpm.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 7 2016, 01:56 PM

Hi Chris! I've missed this one at first. I think that your solo sounds interesting. I would only like to suggest to practice it a bit more to polish the phrases and the connections among them.

Just a detail, in the first bend you are reaching a note that is out of scale, try bending to a chord tone. The chord sounding there is Am so you could bend to A, E or C.

Posted by: tflava Jan 7 2016, 04:06 PM

Hey man,

Is it possible to record my thing tomorrow?
Or is that too late?

GreetzTim

Posted by: Trigger76 Jan 7 2016, 05:24 PM

Hi Gab & Team,

Haven't had a lot of time to do much with this and thought I should tidy what I had up originally and get it posted so you at least had something to work with so anyway here it is attached my Green182day effort ;-) , the vid(as punky as I could make it look...errr sorry) is downscaled to get the upload to work, hope its ok. Audio is clipping a bit on the vid but figure you'll be overlaying a new mix?

https://youtu.be/xoO42RwGUk0

All the best,
Trev

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 7 2016, 11:11 PM

I had a (rather long) jam session over this backing today!

Here are the files. It is just the first cue.

I started audio from point 0 and included your pre-count.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 8 2016, 01:52 PM

yes! It's possible!





Fantastic!! Your solos and guitar melodies will add a lot to the song! You composed very tasty lines that reminds me to many 90's 00's pop punk bands. And your video looks very cool. Great job. Thanks a lot for joining!





Great! There is a lot happening in your solo and sounds very Dahl's style. It's great to see how you keep developing your own voice in guitar.

Thanks for joining Kris!

Posted by: tflava Jan 8 2016, 03:49 PM

Hey man!

I tried to make the best of it. Hope you like it

You rock Todd!! Thanks a lot for your take!





It sounds great! Thanks a lot mate!

Posted by: Todd Simpson Jan 9 2016, 07:39 PM

Thanks I added some dissonant/out of key notes when you switched keys for some punk flavor I'm using this in todays chat lesson also. Looking forward to the final!
Used Th2 and a brunetti (italian) head. Here is the patch.

Posted by: Todd Simpson Jan 9 2016, 09:04 PM

Gabe, I hate to say it but the first section seems to be G Major, not E minor. I did solo in E Minor in the first part and it gave it an out of tune/dissonant sound which sounded punk so I kept it but it's entirely out of key IMHO The first sections Rood notes are actually G Major.

I know it's a bit late to say this now as the due date has past, but for those who struggled a bit to make E Minor fit, don't worry, it's not you, it's just punk music!

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 9 2016, 10:09 PM

Okay, here's my go. It actually is about as good as the many many punk bands I saw in my youth in backstreet pubs, a lot of them didn't really know what they were doing they were just enjoying it and making a statement with their lyrics so I think I can get away with this one being a bit shoddy I couldn't think of anything for the piece before this so I've faded it in.

After posting this I realised I hadn't checked my tuning, when I did it was not good. Sorry Gab. This was a total improve and probably the best feeling I got so I wouldn't be able to reproduce it. I can try tomorrow to come up with something again if you want as I know you won't use something out of tune. I'm so angry with myself and my ear isn't good enough to notice, especially when playing short notes and as quick as this.
I guess I was being a little bit too "live punk" as I suspect they were very often out of tune when playing live, like Mr Jones .

Posted by: ChrisGLP Jan 10 2016, 12:02 PM

Hi Gab... here my try for the second part of the collab... it was a very good improvisation training for me

The bendings at the beginning and the end... it was the first time that I wanted disharmonious bends

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 10 2016, 01:41 PM

OK, another improv this time in tune

Hey guys,

I wrote some lyrics in the spirit of punk ;-)

This is the first verse and chorus. I've also got a second verse if we need one.

Messing around with the guitar now, let's see if I can come up with something.

Awesome guys!! It's really cool to have so many guitar solos for this one! Thank you very much for your takes. This collab is very promising.

Hey mate! As I've said via PM, this idea sounds good to me! Could you please share the lyrics here to let me or any other GMCer add some backing vocals for this one?

Also, remember to share the only vocals final takes when you have them.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 11 2016, 05:15 PM

Hi Todd, you're right! It's my fault.

However, as both G major and E minor share the same notes, and I suggested using Pentatonic scale I think that this shouldn't have been a problem, unless using too much C note over G chord... (as you did ). This note is part of the scale but it's a fourth which is not a great place to stay too much.... except if you are SO punk rock.

Posted by: Gitarrero Jan 11 2016, 07:51 PM

Hey Gab,

here are the raw vocal files.
Two for the chorus (I sang one version more aggressive and one a bit higher) and a separate one for verse 1 and verse 2.

My guitar files are in my post above.

As for the video, can you give me time till tomorrow to record it?

Christian

Oh, here are the lyrics:

Verse 1:
Sitting in my office, got punk in my head
listening to Bad Religion and Minor Threat
my boss comes in and takes offense
I swear someday I will Rise Against.

Verse 2:
I come home to my wife and she kisses my neck
but I can only think of Anti Flag
from the backyard I can hear my Offspring
but I turn up The Ramones and then I sing

Chorus:
The KKK took my baby away
now I just play guitar all day
don't want no job or a family
just play guitar at GMC

Posted by: Todd Simpson Jan 12 2016, 01:47 AM

You nailed it!! I spent waaay to much time using the C over the G chord thinking it should work. If it wasn't for this I'd have never noticed. But the dissonant sound gave it a punk vibe so I kept it all

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 12 2016, 04:44 PM

Thanks a lot mate! Yes, I can wait for your video.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 12 2016, 06:28 PM

Hey Todd, I've just noticed that you didn't send me your guitar only file.

Sorry Gab,

I missed getting a picture to you in time, I've been at a trade show all day so couldn't do anything today, I've sent you some before I noticed this had been posted

Thanks for the collab Gab, this is awesome that students and tutors alike have made a song that could be on an album.My monitors must not be very good, I can only just hear my part We should release "GMC: The best of so far"

Ready for the next

thanks for the feedback and for putting it all together. It's awesome!
Great collab, can't wait for the next one!

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 15 2016, 08:41 AM

YEAH!! This is an amazing result!

Looking back at it, my take felt a bit out style wise - it's safe to say I feel 'outdone' by GMC students You guys rock!

And I got a very warm feeling by seeing Gitarero lead the punky way

Posted by: Gitarrero Jan 15 2016, 08:48 AM

I think I'm happy that I made you feel warm, Kris

I'm glad that you liked!! I can't stop listening to this song. Gitarrero you have to write your own Punk album!

Kris, I love how your solo fits in this song. The backing goes mid tempo, progressions changes and your solo is so expressive. It gives the track a very refreshing feel.

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 15 2016, 01:31 PM

and when a new collab ?
what sort of ?

Laurent

Posted by: Gitarrero Jan 15 2016, 01:41 PM

Thanks man! It means a lot, coming from an awesome punk composer such as yourself.

Congrats to everyone on another fine collab. Great job everyone! Except for Kris. Kris! Sit up straight man, and quit trying to eat your guitar while soloing! Sorry , I just couldn't resist yanking your chain a bit on that one.

How about a melodic death metal collab next
Sure would be fun to write and record some lyrics for such a song...

Hi Gab, whats about the piano backing I have made? Something new for a collab...

You know the piano backing...

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 16 2016, 09:27 AM

Somethin like Opeth ,Amorphis, Paradise lost, a mix of that !

Laurent

Posted by: Trigger76 Jan 18 2016, 12:40 AM

Trigger - Dublin, Ireland

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 18 2016, 01:26 AM

I love how this sounds... it would be a very epic tune. What do you think guys?

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 18 2016, 11:14 PM

Yeah could be good. I can imagine Mr Vai doing something amazing with that.

Let's do it we could do a whole piece or just a few seconds,

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 18 2016, 11:22 PM

CHris

I love your tune, i can do somethin on and share ?

Laurent

Posted by: Todd Simpson Jan 19 2016, 02:47 AM

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 19 2016, 08:53 AM

let's work on ??

my guitar vacation are over (in fact, it really be effective for some minutes)

Edit:

This is a small improvised jam on the Chris Backtrack

https://soundcloud.com/laurent-377054242/friend-gmc

an early one, i still have new idea while writing this post..... Mojo is back !

i think this is for me a good occasion to work around slow play expression, on this on i use the volume pedal, not mastered but i'll do !

Laurent

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 19 2016, 01:42 PM

That's beautiful Laurent! It's cool to see that you find this backing as inspiring as me... I think that we should do something big...

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 19 2016, 01:44 PM

I need to know the key please

Thanks

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 19 2016, 01:59 PM

YEAH! Sounds beautiful Chris, we should go for this I would be in!

Btw have you recorded it to a click track?



It's awesome to have you here mate!

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 19 2016, 02:10 PM

A minor or C major

Laurent

yes WE can do something awesome, but we need a longer BT, chris ??? take your piano and play plz

Laurent

Posted by: ChrisGLP Jan 19 2016, 02:11 PM

Thx Kris... I have made this backing with EZKeys Grand Piano... With this software you can choose different styles (ballads, blues, etc.). Each style consists of different modules (intro, verse, bridge, chorus, etc.). Now you have the possibility to combine these different modules as you want and create the chords and speed... and much more possibilities... Its awesome!

Laurent, lets wait what Gab decides which collab is the next...

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 19 2016, 02:15 PM

Even if Gabriel decide to do another thing, nothing forbid us to do something with this BT.

Laurent

Posted by: ChrisGLP Jan 19 2016, 02:26 PM

Yes sure Laurent... I am happy that you like the backing, thx

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 19 2016, 02:28 PM

yes, this one is whispering nice stuff to my ears !

can you give the chord progression ?

Laurent

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 19 2016, 02:34 PM

Ah interesting - I will check it out as I am not skilled at playing and programming piano.

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 20 2016, 09:30 AM

Thanks Laurent,
Do you have a really good ear or do you work it out some other way? I'd love to be able to do that
Cheers

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 20 2016, 11:06 AM

Hi Phil,

I work on ear training, reconizing notes, chords , intervals

Not easy

Laurent

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 20 2016, 11:45 AM

Yeah, very hard,

I'm getting better at relative pitch very slowly but perfect pitch is light years away.

Are you confident it is in the key you said?

Cheers

Posted by: ChrisGLP Jan 20 2016, 12:51 PM

Hi Phil, the key is E minor.... the chord progression follows today....

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 20 2016, 12:53 PM

Eminor ?

i play on in Aminor, and it's ok

Laurent

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 20 2016, 01:19 PM

Ahhh,

I thought you knew exactly I could play in any key over it and it would sound ok to my ears

Posted by: fzalfa Jan 20 2016, 02:38 PM

it's an error from me

i play Eminor...... why i talk about A...... i promise, i 'm not drunk !

edit:

Sound good for me !
