Collab is now closed, all spots have been taken.. Look for more of these coming soon!
Hi everyone!
Welcome to my first video collab!
In this exercise I need 10 volunteers to record their best possible lead over the following backing track. You record you take in audio, the video part of the collab just means that I will post a video response with personalized comments to your work. The comments to your will be viewed by the world on Youtube, so make sure you're OK with that before you sign up!
120.mp3 ( 1.1MB )
: 367
The suggested scales to use here are C harmonic minor or C minor pentatonic.
Because of the nature of the track, it is possible to use some outside notes in there to sound a little out, but don't try this if you are not comfortable with the concept of playing out.
I'd rather have you focus on creating a coherent solo. It doesn't need to be technical, but please focus on clarity of notes and creating something that ties well together.
The deadline for this is set to March the 21st. That gives you 2 weeks to submit your takes on the upload thread.
If you can't make the deadline, try not to sign up and leave the slot for other players. :-)
If you miss this one, don't worry.. I'll have more like that coming up soon!
I´m in. Sounds great.
Wow! That was fast!
Did you even get a chance to listen to the backing?
Glad you're in!
very cool backing david... I wish i had the time to participate
Alright. I know I had to quit the last collaboration, but I'm feeling up for this now, as I have lots of time on my hands after I got fired.
I think this will be difficult for me but would like to give it a go if thats ok, just to be clear that we dont upload video only audio as I havent sorted a decent cam out yet, if thats the case I would like to be in on this!
As for being prostrated across you tube, you never know I might become (in)famous!
Awesome backing David, I surely want to be in
Any chance on giving us the chord progression?
I'm in
Please !!! I want to sign up!!!
Hey David, I would like to be on this one. That's so groovy !
im IN !!!!
Count me in! In MTP I'm learning bout modes and triads, so I might be able to write some stuff with the Aeolian mode and for the rest I'll just use my minor penta
If there is still a spot left i would like to join(?)
NVM!
my recording situation is not 100% yet, i dont want to risk committing yet!
Pff, those groovy funky backings giving me each time again troubles. The harmony changes are there, but i have problems to hear them properly ... i'm the only one having difficulties with this type of backings?
It's in the middle of the night, and I'm just fooling around... this is just for fun and not a final take! Played on guitar, by the way...
Arh, it's just from the Pandora PX4D. I played around with it a bit, and it probably could get better, but as I wasn't really gonna use it for anything, I decided to quit fooling around with it.
It's just a synth from the Pandora, then turning a few knobs up and down to get the wanted result.
Unfortunately the synth on PX4D is not very good and for some reason stops after like 1½ seconds... so you can't really hold a note very long.
Guys, for that backing track I don't want to make things too complicated.
Just stick to a straight forward C minor pentatonic all the way and you'll be OK.
If you want to add some extra notes, you can venture in a C Harmonic scale.
Sometimes C Aeolian and C Dorian will work too, but not throughout the whole chord progression, if unsure, use the pentatonic and your ears of course!
I just wanted to say that I used standard Aeolian mode, (so no Harmonic Minor) and it works fine too... Maybe you need to watch out but I had no problems using it
Hey David, I couldn't watch my video, it was a private video.
Thanks a lot for the video feedback David.
Your comments are spot on and at least one of the reasons for it was the quick and dirty recording I did for this collab
Looking forward to your next collab!
Cheers
Roger
As I already said in the PM: thanks a lot for the comments! They´re helpful. I´m really looking forward to your next collaboration!
Sorry guys but where are the videos? am I missing something?
Ey David, I'm not sure, but could you check whether my take is put in correct? It sounds Like it's just one chord behind or something... I think my take sounds a lot better in my mix, so please take a look, could just be me
Cruciating I can watch all youtube movies except for mine.
Update: Just found them, I am sorry
in case someone does the same here is the link

Thank you David! Your comments are very constructive, and will help me a lot for sure
I don't know why, is it because where I am from or what I just love the harmonic minor that is why I tend to keep it longer
Vibrato is one of my basic problems, I had a very fast vibrato and I decided to change it for a wide and slower one and events started to happen... I think I am closer to the happy ending but sometimes I litterally forget the existence of the vibrato notion all together Meditate on this I will
Thank you for this great collab and I am looking forward to your next one for sure
Just watched my reply, thanks for taking the time to do this David, I did struggle with this backing but i will incorporate your suggestions into my practice.
Thanks again!
So sorry Kaznie!
Your video is now available for everyone to watch!
I will check out the mix later when I get back home...
Thank you David for the nice comments
You are right about your critics on the last part. I thought as well, that i could have played something a bit more interesting at the end ... a less obvious last note and just before it sounds a bit "unstable".
As i said earlier, i have problems to hear the harmonies on this kind of backings. Which often ends a bit unsatisfied as i don't know if this what i play makes sense .. I needed quite a while to get ideas for this one, so i'm glad to hear that it pays off to spend a bit more time as usual and that you liked the result.
Thank you for taking the extra time to give video comments !! I enjoyed and learn a lot in this collab.
Glad you did!
You guys all did a great job, really!
Kaznie, did you see that I fixed your video?
Also, you are right, I messed your track in the final mix. I'm posting the new one today.
However I did have the right one when I was commenting on your take. :-)
Thanks a bunch David! You're quite right about the high notes... solo sounds much more developing if you start low and go up a bit. I think I'm going to re-record, starting out lower, then scraping one of the licks and use that space to build up to the higher ending.
To the rest: Wow This is, I think, the collaboration with the most potential I've played in I thought I did ok, but the your takes were just twice as good Great work!
Yeah I really enjoyed this, sign me up for the next one David im ready!!!
Indeed, cool backings like these are a joy to play over
