Hello friends, I had the idea to make this song with you as a tribute to Link Park's singer Chester Bennington (RIP).

What do you think? Would you join?


This is the backing track:  Linkin_Park_Backing.mp3 ( 3.74MB ) : 314


All the additional info about the track can be found https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Linkin-Park-Style/.

We need off course singer/s and lyrics. I was thinking that the topic could be related to this interview:



If you are new to collabs please check out this: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=58277



WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF THIS ONE?


FINAL VIDEO!!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 24 2017, 04:07 PM

Yep, I'm in Gab.
Will have a think about some Lyrics over the next few days!!

Posted by: bleez Jul 24 2017, 06:04 PM

I have been devoid of any good sounding ideas for the last two collabs but I'll definitely get something submitted for this.
Nice one Gab

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 24 2017, 08:50 PM

Great!!





That sounds very promising!

Posted by: Todd Simpson Jul 29 2017, 06:56 AM

I"m in!!!!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 31 2017, 04:11 PM

After a brief chat with Gab at the end of last week he asked if I could base the Lyrics for this Collab on the Interview Video he posted.
So, here is what I have. I'll post a Vocal take on Thursday so you all can hear how it fits with the Backing.
He also asked me to mention that, as LP aren't such a Guitar Lead type of band, it would be good for people to do Rhythm Takes as well.
And lastly, Gab is away on vacation this week so won't be on the Boards as much as normal! Right, enough of my waffling on, here's the Lyrics:-

The Struggle Inside.

So, here am I,
Trapped inside my mind.
All around seems fine until I step outside.

My brave facade is crumbling down,
Now my inner self has lost his shiny Crown,
Trying to hide behind a fading smile,
With these Demons that I've had for a while.

This is where it starts
To fall apart

And as my mind begins to scream,
It feels like nothing is as it seems,
Everything that I took for real,
All these mad emotions that I feel,
Reality starts to drift away,
Finding it hard to face another day,
With a heavy heart and a weeping eye,
This will be my final 'Goodbye'.

Any feedback from you guys is more than welcome!!

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jul 31 2017, 06:12 PM

Can I pitch in on some Linkin Park ish screams maybe?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 31 2017, 06:32 PM

Absolutely Cael!!
I'll get a rough take done tomorrow so you can hear the phrasing etc!

Sorry for the delay Ben, will have take posted tomorrow for you. Work and Life have been a bit busier than anticipated so far this week!!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 3 2017, 03:03 PM

So, here's a rough sketch of how I hear it.
I will certainly do a lot more work on it and possibly try to get the 'Brave Facade' section up an octave but I've got a bit of a Cold and Sore Throat at the moment so couldn't quite get that high!!

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Aug 3 2017, 03:12 PM

Nice take!

I've wrecked my voice at a festival with too many concerts anyway, so it will be some days before my voice is back to normal anyway

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 4 2017, 11:29 PM

Brilliant, I was just singing the words in my head kinda to the "In The End" tune. Brilliant!!!!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 6 2017, 06:10 PM

Thanks Cael!! I need to rest my Voice for a couple of days at least, did a very 'shouty' Blues Gig last night at a friends wedding and am feeling very hoarse today!!


Cheers Phil, that's kinda what I was hearing too!!

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 6 2017, 09:08 PM

Sorry mate, didn't hear your take, I must've skipped over it. Looking forward to a more shouty one when your throat is better

Cheers

Posted by: Marek Rojewski Aug 7 2017, 08:42 AM

Gabriel, what would be the estimated deadline of the collab? I'm going to Spain for a week - next week, but it is high time for me to finally take a part in a collab again!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 9 2017, 03:28 PM

Hey guys!! I'm happy to see that you have made this one grow during the days that I've been out!

I could read the lyrics before leaving and I already said SJ that he is a genius! His writing gets better and better as well as his singing.

I like the vocals too. I think that maybe with some days of singing practice, you'll be able to give this even more feeling. What do you think?


Please remember that we need soloists! Are we going to have some lead guitars? You can provide melodies or guitar arrangements.

And finally, I don't want to be the only one playing rhythm guitar! Please Phil66, SJ, Cael, Marek, Todd and everybody participating film yourself also playing rhythm guitar for the videoclip!

Another idea for Cael: What about LP screams and some short hip hop rap?

We need you on this one!! I should be mixing this one in 15 days.

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 9 2017, 03:35 PM

I'll have a go Gab,

I always think that the backing is the rhythm part. Can you give me some idea of chords etc please, I don't understand much about which chords to use.

Thanks

Phil

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 9 2017, 04:16 PM

Have you checked the lesson?

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Linkin-Park-Style/

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Aug 9 2017, 07:56 PM

I was thinking about exactly that!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 9 2017, 08:57 PM

Perfect.

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 9 2017, 09:02 PM

Ahhh, what a numpty I am, DOH! I'll have a look at that in the next couple of days.

Cheers

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 9 2017, 09:04 PM

Even playing the same things from the lesson will help to make this one cooler.

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 9 2017, 09:24 PM

Cheers,

I've just been practising it. Maybe I can double or triple track it with different guitars?

Thanks

Phil

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 10 2017, 05:10 AM

Yeah! That sounds good!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 10 2017, 01:58 PM

I will definitely be doing a much better take for the vocals, did a big Blues Gig last weekend and my voice has been suffering for a few days but it's feeling a lot better so will be on the case in the next few days. Will also be doing Rhythm parts too. Maybe Bass and Lead.
I think Cael is waiting for my finished Vocals before he adds some Screams etc. I have another verse half finished which could be turned into a Rap part if no-one else has any ideas?

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 10 2017, 02:37 PM

Great!!


I also think that it would be cool to have somebody doing drums playback, don't you think so? Do we have any GMC who has drums or electronic drums to do it?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 10 2017, 06:47 PM

That would be really cool!!
Unfortunately I am absolutely NOT a drummer!! I have tried but just can't do it!!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 11 2017, 04:32 PM

I'm curious to know if any GMCer has at least a drum set...

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 11 2017, 08:08 PM

Maybe try http://www.drummasterclass.net

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 11 2017, 09:35 PM

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 13 2017, 04:27 PM

A friend of mine has been learning Drums online at https://www.drumeo.com/?wickedsource=google&wickedid=200337251650&wtm_term=drumeo&wdevice=c&wtm_campaign=82974626&wtm_content=42184765183&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8b_MBRDcARIsAKJE7lkz5jzyUbMChg4qzakJkU0T0-aLN2lVyi73FiIiES1LRqlD8_3HJlAaAofMEALw_wcB and is doing really well!!

Posted by: Marek Rojewski Aug 15 2017, 03:35 PM

Salute everyone! I tried to record a take, but couldn't really deliver it as I wanted, not enough practice and sore fingers:(. I am flying to Spain tomorrow and will be back 24 August, that is why I tried to record it today instead of practising it more and uploading something I am more content with later.

Gabriel if you think this is worth something, I can either send the media files that I have now, or try to record it again / record it in split parts when I am back. Tell me what you think:)

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 15 2017, 05:30 PM

Yeah!! Well done Marek! Send those files please!!

Thanks a lot for joining.

Posted by: Marek Rojewski Aug 15 2017, 08:37 PM

I uploaded the four files - sound with and without backing, video with and without music in one zip file to a Polish uploading site. This is the link:

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 16 2017, 02:43 PM

Thanks a lot Marek!

Who else is working on guitars for this one?

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 16 2017, 03:49 PM

I'm going to try and make a start on learning the rhythm part. Maybe just bars 5-12 due to time restraints. Once I've got it down, I'll record/video it with at least 2 different guitars so you have 2 audios and 2 videos. What do you think about one of them being done on 7 string?

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Aug 16 2017, 03:51 PM

I'm struggling a bit for lyrics, but I'm trying to come up with something

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 16 2017, 06:00 PM

I will have some stuff for you after the weekend Gab!

Is that for a Rap part Cael?

I had a 2nd verse that I've changed around a bit to make it a little more Rap-like. What do you think?

I'm isolated,
It can never change,
My Normality,
Others think it strange,
There's a piece of me,
That's lost inside,
The Darkest Place,
Where I cannot hide.

Just 4 High Walls,
Like being in a Cage,
I can see the Book,
But can't read the Page,
In a Monsters Lair,
I can't break free,
Then I realise,
That the Monster is me.

Posted by: Todd Simpson Aug 16 2017, 08:37 PM

Nice!! I liked it quite a bit as well Well played!

Todd

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 16 2017, 08:39 PM

Just bashed these out to give you some possible ideas

Trapped in my head
I need to escape
I need to get out
Of this mental rape
Like a caged beast
My soul is destroyed
Happiness no more
Or am I paranoid
If I can't get out
I need to go to
Somewhere else
From this freak show
That's in my head
Wearing me down
Stuck in my fears
Making me drown
In my tortured mind
I die in my head
I feel no more
I NEED to be dead............................................................................

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 18 2017, 03:44 PM

Hey guys! Great to see that you are polishing lyrics for this one. I'll be inviting some more GMCers to this one to have more guitars! Feel free to do the same.

Hi Phil, try the 7 string version as well! It can definitely add more power to some parts. But to stay safe, please also provide a 6 strings version.

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 18 2017, 10:57 PM

Gab,

I can record as many takes as you want, would you like different guitars through the same patch, one guitar through different patches, or just a random mix? I can do up to 13 different guitars. Let me know buddy.

Cheers
Phil

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 19 2017, 07:12 PM

Hi Phil! It's ok if you provide 1 with your favorite patch and another "direct line" to let me experiment in the mix.

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 19 2017, 09:04 PM

Ok, Hopefully I'll get a six and seven string version to you tomorrow with both dry and wet sound. If you want any more videos with different guitars to brighten up the video I can do that no problem. Just let me know

Cheers

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 21 2017, 04:09 AM

Ok Phil, thanks a lot.

Posted by: bleez Aug 21 2017, 05:04 PM

is there still some time left?
I had to scrap my original ideas due to them sucking but Ive got something a little less sucky almost ready

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 21 2017, 09:01 PM

OK, let me know if you want anything any different. I played the same chords for the second rhythm part.

Two reasons:

1/ I'm not used to the other way of playing power chords and time is very tight.

2/ I thought it might sound good keeping it the same for the first rhythm section and then having the second rhythm section slightly different.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDW8Ass_fIM


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0FqcoXn1rg


You can get all of the files here https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ap09zsLCowi5iLdGj5XoYM8OQm7nAA The ones named PRS 24 are for the Purple guitar and the ones named PRS 7 are for the 7 string.

This took all of my time tonight believe it or not. It tales me awhile to get the videos done with the few takes and syncing the sound.

Hope they're ok, if not just say and I'll redo.

Cheers

Phil

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 22 2017, 12:40 AM

Yes! We need your take!!




Both takes work! Thanks a lot for taking the time mate! This is great!

Who else will provide lead and rhythm guitars?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 22 2017, 06:05 PM

Will have Intro and Rhythm parts later tonight Gab.
https://soundcloud.com/neilwaller/cb-collab-intro-guitar-solo
https://soundcloud.com/neilwaller/cb-collab-rhythm-guitar-solo

Bass and Vocals to follow as well as Vids!!

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 22 2017, 08:13 PM

Hello Gab,

I made a mistake, I'm so sorry, I didn't set my to receive the dry signal from my guitar. I'm so used to using inputs 1 and 2 that I just didn't switch the dry feed on which was going directly into input 3. The tracks labelled "DRY" aren't dry, they are the same as the effected track I only realised this evening when I did this intro. If you want me to record them all again I will but it will have to be on Thursday.

I've done this tonight. Just an idea on the intro, I think I've used 5ths but lower down, not sure though. If you can use it, great, if not just bin it. I can't think of any solo ideas for this at the moment I'm afraid, maybe something will pop into my head soon.

Files are in the same as before (above)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2ik3YI26eA

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 23 2017, 02:31 PM

Hi Phil, don't worry about the dry signal. Your tone is great.

Thanks for this new idea! Everything is welcome to enrich the track.

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 23 2017, 09:10 PM

Thanks for the kind words Gab

How about something like this for the ending. I think it might work, it's quite poignant and has a total sense of loss to it, imho.

https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/chester-bennington-rip-end

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 24 2017, 04:18 PM

That's perfect! Could you please share that fragment in audio and vid to let me add it to the mix and videoclip easier?

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 24 2017, 04:40 PM

Hello Gab,

I'll try, I can definitely give you the audio but I'll have to work on the video. I just downloaded/converted the interview video to mp3 using Download Helper and put it into my DAW and then cut the parts out. I'll have a go at the video as soon as I can.

In my mind, I was thinking of having a black and white still picture of Chester with that audio over it.

Cheers buddy.

Posted by: bleez Aug 24 2017, 05:03 PM

Hope this is ok, just manged to play over the end part. I would have liked to have played something much more impressive but

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55DXqjlcayw


https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0ByO3yV9OhS6_ak1JWFZyZE9FMWs
Gab, my 'guitar only' file is over the full length of the backing, so it's about 0.49 until it kicks in.

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 24 2017, 08:53 PM

Hello Gab,

I just downloaded/converted the interview video to mp3 using Download Helper and put it into my DAW and then cut the parts out.

I've created a video for you using the same parts BUT, it won't match the original sound clip I made above as the cut/split points won't be exactly the same.

What I've done is put the whole video AND the individual sections I used into https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ap09zsLCowi5iLdGcCDdg_rGv707Pg folder in a folder called "END". There is also a "Sounds" folder that has the original MP3 that I did, along with the voice on its own and the backing on its own. The backing is a part of that "Sorrow" track I did recently in our thread.

In my mind, I was thinking of having a black and white still picture of Chester with that original take playing over it, so, if you decide to go that way, I have added a picture to the folder too, it's quite good as there is space to put a message if you want to.

The reason I think the still image would work is that the video jumps between the clips and it doesn't look right to me. The still image has more of a poignant feel to it with the original soundfile playing over it but, it's up to you buddy, you are the creative genius

Cheers buddy.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 28 2017, 06:09 PM

I love it man! This is very musical, and adds a lot. You have a great sense of song arrangement. Well done.





Hey Phil! Thanks a lot for your help. I think that the black & white still image can really work. I'll check the videos but I'll also try the still pic since in can me more "artistic". I like the idea.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Aug 28 2017, 06:33 PM

Hey Gab, I really wish I could add something, but I've got nothing, not feeling very inspired for it, as I'm currently working as part of my education till 5 and getting home at 6, then dinner etc and then it's 7-7.30. I know it's common for some folks, but I'm not used to it, and it's very draining. I hope you will all have a great collab

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 29 2017, 03:18 PM

Hey mate! Thanks a lot for this! I've missed the post at first! Looking forward your vocals! It seems that you'll be the only lead singer for this one.





Hi Cael! I'm so sorry to hear this. We are still waiting for SJ vocals so if inspiration appears, feel free to share any scream or whatever comes to mind.

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 29 2017, 03:28 PM

No worries Gab, Bass will be up in a while and hopefully Vocals tomorrow with all Videos too.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 29 2017, 04:53 PM

Cool! Thank you.

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 29 2017, 09:06 PM

Here's the Bass:-
https://soundcloud.com/neilwaller/cb-collab-bass-nbt

Now to try and get those Vocals high enough!!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 30 2017, 01:25 PM

Nice Lemmy style bass tone! Thanks SJ!

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 31 2017, 03:05 PM

I wonder if Kris would add some of his vocals to this one?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 31 2017, 04:39 PM

Glad you like it Gab!!


Should have Vocals done tonight or tomorrow for sure! It's taking a while to get a Take that I'm happy with right through! I keep not quite hitting just one or two notes each time or fluffing the phrasing!! Now I remember why I had a Vocalist in whichever Band I was in!!

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 31 2017, 08:15 PM

Did you see my lyrics https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=58388&view=findpost&p=751074 Mr Jones?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 31 2017, 08:54 PM

I certainly did Phil. I think they scan well as a Rap part to my ear!

Posted by: Phil66 Aug 31 2017, 10:12 PM

That would work. In my head I was thinking of the chorus in "In The End".

I wonder if the rap could overlay the same lyrics being sung in that chorus style? Maybe Gab could put the rap in the mix so it starts later than the singing but finishes with the word "dead" at the same time?

I couldn't do it though I'm afraid. I have asked Kris if he'll do some loud vocals for us though

Posted by: creesenator Sep 1 2017, 07:02 AM

I am new to GMC. Wanted to take part in these going forward. How soon does this one end? and will when the next one start?

Trying to follow this. For the guitar part do we just submit a video of us playing the lesson Gab did on Linkin Park? -https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Linkin-Park-Style/

or do we come up with our own variation(s)?

Posted by: Phil66 Sep 1 2017, 07:26 AM

Hello Creesenator,

Great to see you in here, you are very welcome

For the Guitar part you can do anything, I recorded the same intro and then an intro in a different part of the neck. You can submit a solo, even one single note if it feels good to you. If you want to do vocals you can, keyboards, anything.

Maybe check out some of the other collabs https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=41549

Enjoy it buddy

Phil

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 1 2017, 04:35 PM

Hi mate! It would be awesome to have you on this one!! You can do whatever you want! You can play the guitar rhythms shared in the lesson, or record your own solos and arrangements. I'll start mixing this one on Monday so feel free to share your files during the weekend or even on Monday!

What do you think? Is it possible?

Posted by: creesenator Sep 1 2017, 06:40 PM

I am heading out of town for the weekend. I will pass on this one and get in on the next for sure. Looks like great fun.

How often do these collaborations happen.

Posted by: Phil66 Sep 1 2017, 07:56 PM

There is usually one running at all times. The only downtime is when Gab is doing the video and sound mix. Once the video is released, another one is usually up and running in a day or two

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 3 2017, 05:04 PM

Ok! I'll open a new one this week. Stay tuned!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 3 2017, 08:35 PM

Will have my finished files up for you tomorrow Gab!
Forgot I was away again this weekend!!!

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Sep 4 2017, 07:46 AM

Thanks for the invitation mate! I am stilly too sucky to deliver anything sounding even close to decent in such short amount of time... I generally need to have a few weeks of lighter schedule to prepare and record a collab take.

Still very much looking forward to see how this one turns out though!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 4 2017, 02:04 PM

Bass:-


Intro:-


Rhythm Guitar:-


Vocal Audio and Video coming soon!!!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 4 2017, 02:28 PM

Thanks a lot SJ!! Please share the final lyrics too with your vocal takes.

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 4 2017, 03:27 PM

Will do Gab!

Posted by: Phil66 Sep 4 2017, 09:12 PM

Don't know why but I can't hear anything from the videos Mr Jones, Even if I go to YT but I can hear all other videos.

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 5 2017, 12:26 AM

Ah, they are Vid only files, just for the Colab, for Gab's mix. The Audio is in the Soundcloud files.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 5 2017, 03:07 PM

Hi mate! When do you think that you'll have the vocal files?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 5 2017, 07:52 PM

Am I ok until Thursday Gab?
That'll be the main Vocal and both Rap pats and accompanying Videos!


Plus some little overdubs too!!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 6 2017, 02:08 PM

Ok! You are our frontman so I'll wait for you before giving shape to this one.

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 7 2017, 09:42 PM

OK, here's what I have:-
https://soundcloud.com/neilwaller/chester-final-vox-full

Here's the 2 Raps:-
https://soundcloud.com/neilwaller/sj-rap
https://soundcloud.com/neilwaller/phil-rap
Phil, I had to cut a part out of yours to make it scan properly!

I will upload the individual parts with no Backing Track tomorrow Gab. My Internet is very slow tonight!
Will also upload relevant Videos too. I have a day off so plenty of time to do so!!

Just realised that the last part has past 'clipping' point, do you want me to re-record that part?

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 8 2017, 01:39 PM

Hi SJ! That's very promising! The clipping is very extreme and it becomes a problem in the chorus. Is it possible to re-record those parts?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 8 2017, 03:15 PM

No probs Gab, will have it in a couple of hours or so!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 8 2017, 04:49 PM

Forgot the Lyrics for you Gab!!!

The Struggle Inside.

So, here am I,
Trapped inside my mind.
All around seems fine
until I step outside.

My brave facade is crumbling down,
Now my inner self has lost his shiny Crown,
Trying to hide behind a fading smile,
With these Demons I've had for a while.

This is where it starts
To fall apart

And as my mind starts to scream,
It feels like nothing is as it seems,
Everything that I took for real,
All the mad emotions that I feel,
Reality starts to drift away,
Find it hard to face another day,
With a heavy heart and a weeping eye,
This will be my final 'Goodbye'.

Then SJ Rap:-
I'm isolated,
It can never change,
My Normality,
Others think it strange,
There's a piece of me,
That's lost inside,
The Darkest Place,
Where I cannot hide.

Just 4 High Walls,
Like being in a Cage,
I can see the Book,
But can't read the Page,
In a Monsters Lair,
I can't break free,
Then I realise,
That the Monster is me.

And finally Phil Rap:-
Trapped in my head
I need to escape
I need to get out
Of this mental rape
Like a caged beast
My soul is destroyed
Happiness no more
Or am I paranoid

What's in my head
Wearing me down
Stuck in my fears
Making me drown
In my tortured mind
I die in my head
I feel no more
I NEED to be dead............................................................................

Here's what mine ended up looking like:-

Hey guys! I would like to know your thoughts about this structure! I still have to do some levels and EQ adjustments with fresh ears.

I've been working hard to make this one be the cooler possible for listeners, so that's why I've only used the strong parts regarding solos and vocals, trying to get a powerful hit. However, I want your opinion as you are also the writers here.

It's all good to me Gab I think it could do with some rap though but I am way way too shy

You should start adding some vocals for collabs! You could start with backing vocals as an experiment and I can give you feedback to give shape to your voice.

Just a reminder for all participants! Please keep the audio of your videos to let me sync the mix with your playback for the videoclip!

I having a hard time trying to put all SJ vids in sync. Fingers crossed that I'll have the final vid today.

Gab, you have worked your mojo again, I was wondering how this one was going to turn out. Mr Jones did the most work, outside of putting the video together of course.

When I heard Marek's solo yesterday just via the MP3 link, I thought it was one of those arpeggiator effects, nice one Marek

Bleez's solo is classic Bleez, you're definitely the LP man duder

I wish I could have added more parts other than the intro parts, shame the 7 string didn't make it but at least my vox edit of Chester and the picture i found got used.

Nice one Gab, I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that you go above and beyond when you create these videos THANK YOU

Oh man, my wife is in the house at the same time, I just couldn't
