Hello everybody!! It's time for a new collab!

As we've done in the past here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=60311.

This time, I'll be jamming with you.

The idea is simple. Record yourself doing a quick/spontaneous jam over the backing track. Share the video, only guitar audio and audio mix. I'll record a Jams inspired by each participant take.

Then I'll share a final video with this structure: Participant 1 - Gab Jam - Participant 2 - Gab Jam - Participant 3 - Gab Jam and so...


The backing is based on Kris recent lesson "https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginner-Jam-2/" and was originally recorded by Darius for this other lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginner-Volume-Swells-Slides/.

I'll provide two very short sections. You can jam over one or both of them:


Backing track 1:  Backing_1.mp3 ( 844.24K ) : 365


Backing track 2:  Backing_2.mp3 ( 375.97K ) : 282


Suggested scales:

Hi Gab

Amazing concept, call and response are fabulous, sound great !
First cael's call is impressive

Thank you

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 11 2019, 01:59 PM

Thanks a lot friend!! Looking forward your take!! 😊

Posted by: Rids Sep 11 2019, 06:52 PM

Very inspiring!






I've put the dry and wet takes.

Posted by: Phil66 Sep 11 2019, 07:54 PM

Gab that was great, thank you, What I really like about this kind of collab is that you kinda show us what we could have done. I really liked the way in part one that you mimicked my cut off notes at the beginning and then took it to another level, you were really into it, brilliant AND inspiring. Thank you.

Posted by: MisterM Sep 12 2019, 07:06 AM

Hi Gab

it's ok for me

I recorded audio this morning, I feel good
I should try to make a take this day

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Sep 12 2019, 08:52 AM

Just for your information, Gabriel, I removed delay and reverb from my guitar-only files, allowing you to add that if you want to in the final mix.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 12 2019, 02:03 PM

Nice takes Rids! I can hear some Malmsteen vibes in those melodies. I have an idea. My responses will be here soon!




Awesome MisterM!! Can't wait to jam with you!



Excellent! Thanks Cael!

Posted by: Adam Sep 12 2019, 02:53 PM

I'm in! I'm getting many 16hrs shifts lately, so I'll try it on my next day off.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 12 2019, 04:18 PM

This is my response to Rids solos! I hope that you like it.

I couldn't download the second video in HD. Could you please post the file here so I can replace the vid? I use this site (https://en.savefrom.net/), but sometimes it fails. So it would be easier if you guys also share the video files here.

Posted by: Rids Sep 12 2019, 05:11 PM

Love it Gab!

Here's the file for the second video.

Posted by: MisterM Sep 12 2019, 05:13 PM

Hello friends!! Here you can hear my solos responses! Thanks MisterM and Fzalfa for your inspiring takes. I hope that you like my input.

I'm having lots of fun doing this. Can't wait to receive more takes guys!!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 13 2019, 10:06 PM

I've noted that Fzalfa's take was a bit out of sync. This is a fixed version:

Great mate! Looking forward your takes!!

Posted by: fzalfa Sep 13 2019, 10:44 PM

Yeah, cool !!!

Cheers

Another take ?

Laurent

Posted by: MisterM Sep 14 2019, 11:10 AM

Cool gab

Your phrasing is awesome as usual

I'm not very proud of my 2 takes
At this moment my guitar is not my friend. I hope the motivation will come back

Posted by: fzalfa Sep 14 2019, 12:45 PM

Arrête d'être modeste Manu, elles était très jolie tes prises !!

Laurent

Posted by: MisterM Sep 14 2019, 01:29 PM

[Mod FRENCH ON]Merci Laurent

Je suis dans une passe a vide en ce moment, l'impression d'être très mauvais, mais ça va passer
Ta 2eme prise est beaucoup plus propre au niveau du palm mute, ça déchire avec la réponse de Gab

[Mod FRENCH OFF]

Posted by: fzalfa Sep 14 2019, 05:20 PM

Merci Manu, j'avais pas joué depuis le mois de Mars...... mais les affaires reprennent !!!

Nice to know that you like it!! 😁




I really like your take! Your tone is great, and your phrasing very tasty.

Posted by: MisterM Sep 14 2019, 06:24 PM

Thank Gab

I tried the fast licks with Alternate. Picking tehnic
It doesn’t sound like I wanted and my right-hand thumb is completely frozen,
visually it’s not esthetic

Posted by: onetabmat Sep 14 2019, 07:40 PM

ill post a take tomoz guys

Posted by: MisterM Sep 14 2019, 07:50 PM

Your welcome ontetabmat

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 15 2019, 01:45 AM

We always find things to improve in our playing. This is a never ending but very enjoyable journey.





GREAT!!!

Posted by: MisterM Sep 16 2019, 05:17 AM

Hi Gab

I’ll try to get my take
The same with more precision.
I would upload the dry and wet files

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 16 2019, 01:44 PM

Ok! I can replace it!


Are there any more takes coming guys?

Posted by: Adam Sep 16 2019, 02:42 PM

I'm working on it right now!

Posted by: onetabmat Sep 16 2019, 04:20 PM

hey guys here are my parts;

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 16 2019, 04:27 PM

Great!!! Thanks a lot for your takes! I'll be working on your responses today.




GREAT!!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 16 2019, 09:56 PM

These are my responses to Onetabmat's inspiring takes.

I can't hide my Malmsteen influences when playing over this backing track...





Any more takes guys???

Posted by: Adam Sep 16 2019, 11:50 PM

I think all my collab takes follow the same pattern and to me they all sound the same by now. It's so annoying! How can I acquire new patterns for my playing?

Posted by: LEO89PRIEST Sep 17 2019, 03:17 PM

Hey Gab!

Yes, I will start working on the solo today, please give me a bit of time to upload it!

Thanks.

Angel.

PD: So far the collab is sounding amazing!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 17 2019, 03:42 PM

Just doing the video for mine now Gab!!
Will have it uploaded later!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 18 2019, 03:26 PM

Thanks a lot for your takes mate!! I'm now working on my responses.

I've answered your questions in another thread, but here we go again. Go for Kris Jam School series, and you won't regret it.

Dead line ?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 20 2019, 05:35 PM

Will have mine up tomorrow Gab!!
How embarrassing is this? It's been so long since I did Vid uploads that I completely forgot to check my settings when the Software had updated and then realised it's all in the wrong format!!

Nice takes, guys

Posted by: MisterM Sep 21 2019, 07:16 PM

really nice take Degroot - killer tone

What do you use ?

Posted by: DeGroot Sep 21 2019, 08:23 PM

Thank you MisterM. I enjoy your take and tasty playing!

I use a Fender Hotrod Deluxe (1 channel clean/ 1 with OD). I boost slightly with a tubescreamer. I record with a Shure 57 mic.
I adjust a lot on tone/volume knobs with guitar and OD pedal for different tone.

Gab, I edited my original post and added a take for the second part. Thanks!

Angel.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 23 2019, 02:45 AM

Cool!! Thanks mate. I'll replace your previous takes, is it ok?




Yeahhhh!! Thanks a lot mate. I'll work on my responses tomorrow. Could you please share the only guitar audio files?




Great phrases mate! Thanks for your takes!! I'll work on this one tomorrow as well.


I'm really enjoying this!!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 25 2019, 05:11 PM

I really enjoyed your Gimourish vibes mate!!

Here is my response!!




More takes, more takes!!

Posted by: MisterM Sep 25 2019, 05:39 PM

Gab you are a licks machine. Amazing response... Good Job madfish

Gab. I sent my files by MP

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 25 2019, 07:54 PM

Thanks mate!!

Posted by: DeGroot Sep 26 2019, 01:58 AM

Thanks for the jam!! Enjoyed hearing your response!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 26 2019, 03:31 AM

Your take and tone are killer mate. That's sweep with tapping is a bomb.

Posted by: Madfish Sep 26 2019, 09:06 AM

It's amazing what you've done with this just within few hours. I'm speechless.
I was indeed thinking Gilmour. I'm so happy that you heard it 😁



Thanks MisterM.
IMHO it's more than just licks. Gabe's composition skills bring our takes to another level.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 26 2019, 02:04 PM

Thanks for your words mate! I'm really enjoying this collab and all these inspiring lessons. I try to give my best to really connect with your takes. I'm learning a lot about myself because I feel that it helps me to continue developing my own voice on guitar. I can't wait to see more takes here.

Posted by: LEO89PRIEST Sep 26 2019, 02:18 PM

Wow Gab, the result is incredible. You totally bring our takes to a new level.
@Degroot your improvisation here is wonderful.
Every take so far is so awesome, is great to be part of it. It is also a challenge for me, for future collabs I really want to achieve new skills: technique, rhythm, tone, and be able to compose memorable music. Recording ourselves really help to identify our weak points.
I also love collabs because here we can feel we are making music, and is nice how, despite we are in different levels, we can make music together

Angel.

Posted by: MisterM Sep 26 2019, 06:45 PM

I agree, Good jod Leo

Posted by: DeGroot Sep 26 2019, 06:55 PM

Yes, well said LEO! Btw, always wanted a PRS Torerro. Sounds really nice 👍

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 27 2019, 01:44 PM

Oh thanks mate! I think that the final video for this one will be very enjoyable!

Are there more takes coming for this one?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 27 2019, 04:16 PM

Will definitely have mine up over the weekend mate!!

Ok! I can wait for your take!

Anybody else?

Posted by: jstcrsn Oct 5 2019, 11:31 PM

Okay , when this first came out I tinkered with it for a bit , nothing inspiring , but I made this patch that fits Perfectly ( IMO) and I can not put my guitar down , anyway , I haven't recorded anything with this new camera , but it is on the tripod and I am giving it a shot

Posted by: jstcrsn Oct 6 2019, 08:58 PM

Coming soon...

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 18 2019, 08:32 AM

...aaaand it's live! This one is so cool I decided to feature it on the official GMC Youtube:



Fantastic work guys!! 😲👌

Posted by: MisterM Oct 18 2019, 11:38 AM

Amazing ! Great great great Collab !

Again bad video for my 2 take - I uploaded a new files with stratocaster
I'm disappointed again - clic on spolier

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 18 2019, 01:56 PM

Awesome Kris!!! I’m so proud of this one guys!! I’ve enjoyed a lot doing this.

Thanks for joining! 😊





Hi mate! I’m sorry. I replaced your audio takes but as you said that you were going to play the same takes again, I thought that you didn’t record new videos.

By the way audio and video sync looks great, and your telecaster is beautiful! Also, your playing is very tasty in this one. I like that extra harmonized phrase added.

Thanks for jamming with me! 😉

Posted by: MisterM Oct 18 2019, 03:10 PM

Gab

Excuse me for being unpleasant ... it's hard not to express my feeling - I'm mad
2nd catch is shifted.

My point of view : Upload on youtube too fast,
Already almost 400 views, I understand that you do not change anything.
Nothing can comfort me now.

The way is long and difficult, you know it. it is a definite demotivation for me to watch my performance
My dream is to become as good as you and every video is important to me especially on this kind of collab


On Kris's jam it's the same. It is very disappointing.
I worked to improve my take and it is the draft that is mixed with bad audio/video files.

I don’t know if I would participate again under these conditions.
I know it’s a lot of work on the mix, but the proposal to jam with you comes from you.

Posted by: Sensible Jones Oct 18 2019, 04:38 PM

Wow!!! Awesome job guys, and especially to you Gab, what an amzing piece of work by everyone!!!

Posted by: LEO89PRIEST Oct 18 2019, 06:45 PM

Hey MisterM,

Dude, you are a great guitar player. I guess we all have the dream to become as good or even better than our instructors and it definitively takes time, patience and a lot of hard work.

I think that sometimes when we post a video we have the feeling that we could have done it a bit better. When a new collab starts you know that we want to participate ASAP, but my advice is: wait a little while until you feel that you really mastered the solo you created, you feel comfortable with your tone and everything and then proceed to record your take (audio and video) and post it in the forum, one final audio take (wet and dry) and one final video.

Please don't take me wrong, just think that if you post several audio and/or video files it would be really confusing for the instructors to know which one is the "final" one.

Keep challenging yourself for the collabs to come as you do but don't forget to enjoy the process

Regards,

Angel.

That would be a shame , you had a great take, we guitar players are are worst enemies, if someone is listening to this critiquing every little flaw they have missed to point ( including ourselves )

Posted by: Phil66 Oct 18 2019, 08:26 PM

Absolutely brilliant Gab, thank you. I don't know if others agree but, with my take at least, I like how you use similar licks and show us how I could have taken it to another level with more skill, very inspiring.

Mr M, don't be mad, you takes are great, we're never satisfied with our own work, in future just be sure that you are at least a little bit happy and then and ONLY THEN, post your FINAL video and audio. These are all about enjoying the process and being inspired by everyone

Thanks again Gab, I'm sure we all appreciate the time and effort you put in to do these

That is exactly my thought. The journey is what makes you a better player, not the final mix. That's just a nice bonus. I'd still participate in these collabs even if my takes were to be dumped completely.

Dude I watched the video and enjoyed it quite a bit. I didn't really notice anything wrong. Most folks watch a vid like this and don't get to kinked up about the minutia of it, they just want to hear some good music played well. As an instrumental track, this is just great IMHO. It's very listenable and enjoyable, and that's really the important thing for the viewer. They just want it to be good and it is good. I get that you want it to be perfect, but sadly, things are rarely perfect, but this video is honest to God quite good. I had no idea there were any issues at all until I read your email detailing it. If you wouldn't have said anything, I'd never have noticed and enjoyed it just the same. Please know that your playing on here is very good and you are improving every time I see you play. It's hard to not want everything to be spot on when one works hard, but whe the end result is as good as this, I don't think it's worth complaining. It's a win, take the victory lap

Sounds great! Everyone truly did a very nice job. Proud to be a part of this one. So many nice melodic ideas and moments I enjoyed. Love the Adam/Gab arrangement. Reminds me of Marty Friedman- Introduction or Scenes in some ways.

I must applaud Sr. Leopardi for putting this all together. I can't imagine the amount of work you put into this. You compliment the takes so good and your tone is just AMAZING. Thank you!

Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 19 2019, 04:34 AM

Well said!! Putting something like this together is very very challenging and very very time consuming. Gab you RAWK!!!!

Hi Thanks for your support, 

I still apologize for breaking the atmosphere on this forum. 
You did a great job, the problem comes from me

Guitar is a very serious thing for me. 
A passion, a need - Sometimes I take things with too much emotion.

when I was 12, I learned guitar alone. I stopped at 18 because I did not have anyone to guide me.
When I turned 40, I discovered GMC and the light came on again.
Today I know that the road will be long, but it is traced.

On the mentor thread, Gab always asks me more and I appreciate the 
approach, because it makes me progress.. 
On this collab, I try to give the best as he teaches me. 
Why the details don't matter anymore, I don't understand ?


Hi Angel 
I agree on the principle. 
Now I'll upload the final video. 
I don’t work much improvisation and when I build sentences I like them to be successful.

Hi jstcrsrs 
Some people start the backingtrack and play one shot. 
This gives a real spontaneity and I understand that they do not seek
to correct small errors. My way of doing it is different, 
I prefer to work as I do on lessons, because that’s why I signed up for GMC 

Hi Phill66 
I agree with you, that’s what I answered to Angel, the principle of 
this new "call/response collab" is absolutely inspiring and great, 
I’d love to see my final take in this collab, but it will serve 
me as a lesson for the futur.

Hi Madfish 
yes, collabs are a bonus - however I only participate if I feel an inspiration. 
I recorded some of them that I never posted online. 

Hi Todd 
I watch the instructor videos and I’m always amazed.
I’m a perfectionistand and I would like to reach this level.
I try to get the best every time - It’s in my character, I can’t change. 
It is a quality but also a defect - I know it.

Hi mate! I'm so sorry of reading this. I honestly watched the final video once I finished mixing and editing it and I didn't notice anything wrong. All takes are beautiful and I love seeing us jamming together.

We always try our best but sometimes we fail. Please remember that the main goal of these collabs is to have fun and practice improvisation and that's what we did here!

MisterM, I apologize for this error.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Oct 19 2019, 08:02 PM

I thought the take in the final mix was wonderful, MisterM One of my favorites!

Posted by: MisterM Oct 20 2019, 08:02 AM

Hi Gab

I hope you understand my point of view.
I think you have to be patient before uploading the video.

My proposition :
1st time: Show us the video "unpublished" and ask if everyone is ok.
2d time: in live.

or

fixe the rules : one take / one shot

Let's live the adventure together until the end



Hi Cael

Thank you ... Nothing can comfort me, but I appreciate the compliment
Your licks are a high level, great technic/melodious/killer tone
Collab start with the bar high.

Posted by: Phil66 Oct 20 2019, 09:54 AM

I think having Gab produce the video and release it for us to check is expecting too much, he already puts a lot of work in to do the video, mixing and syncing all together so it is seamless and then, to have someone say they want to change it would be more work and even more if more than one person wants changes.





I wasn't aware of any rules but most people just post one video. I think this is your best option, make sure it's exactly what you want and only then post your video.

I have occasionally posted a Soundcloud file to ask Gab if it was okay but made it not available for download so it can't get mixed up.

Your take was just great buddy, I can see you improving all the time. Enjoy these collabs for what they are, a bit of fun and for some of us, the only time we get to interact with other players.

Peace

It was a great exchange and a lot of cool melodic ideas.

Congrats everyone. I enjpyed ALL the takes!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 21 2019, 02:27 PM

Thanks guys for your nice comments! I can't stop listening to this track. I play the video every day and I'm proud of what we got.

Congrats everybody. It's been a big pleasure to jam with you!

Posted by: jstcrsn Oct 21 2019, 05:21 PM

then... So do you

Posted by: Adam Oct 22 2019, 03:05 PM

This is the BEST Collab I've been a part of! And I'm glad I was! This is breathtaking and amazing in very aspect! Everyone did great but Gab did a wonderful job with both the responses and putting it all together!!! It's on par with Becker's Valley of Fire Collab in my book and it will be very hard to beat in our future Collabs Compiling the video must have taken a lot of time but I can tell by watching that you enjoyed it a lot!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 24 2019, 04:50 AM

Thanks for your words mate!! Yeah, I’ve enjoyed doing this one a lot and I also think that it’s one of the coolest GMC collabs!

Thanks for joining!

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 24 2019, 08:02 AM

@MisterM, I am not sure what happened this time -

But when I did the same mistake as Gab with your take, you had edited an old post to add the updated files. One advice is to make sure that you create a new post in the collab thread whenever you want to draw the instructors' attention towards new files. This in order to make sure we don't miss anything (due to misunderstandings).

We wouldn't want to miss your killer lines next time

Posted by: MisterM Oct 24 2019, 10:33 AM

hi Kris

Let’s not talk about it anymore.
I know we’re very involved, and it’s not easy to bundle the take, especially if it’s multiple.

I’ll take care next time

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 24 2019, 01:43 PM

Yes and results are fantastic - with all the takes rocking! 👌
