GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Volbeat Style Collab
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 12 2017, 01:51 PM
Hello friends!! Welcome to a new GMC Collab!
Cael suggested me working on a Volbeat style one so I've checked my lesson based on them and decided to go for this backing since it has a big potential to become a hit! The idea is to create a real song track so we will need guitar solos, arrangements, melodies and off course lyrics and vocals.
The backing is in 150 bpm, and the key is D major (You can use D major pentatonic and/or B minor pentatonic).
All the additional info about the track can be found https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Volbeat-Style/.
If you are new to collabs please check out this: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=58277
Backing track: 
Volbeat_Collab.mp3 ( 2.49MB )
: 383
Deadline: July 3rd.
WHO IS IN?
This is the final work!
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jun 12 2017, 04:51 PM
Yep, I'm in Gab!!
Posted by: Phil66 Jun 12 2017, 08:18 PM
If I did something like this for an intro would it be ok?

That's awesome, Phil! 
Posted by: Phil66 Jun 13 2017, 10:27 AM
Thanks Ben,
I've never heard of Volbeat so I just listened to the lesson page, it was a one shot take to see what Gab thought about it.
Cheers buddy
Phil

Hi Phil, I think that you've used D minor pentatonic and the best scale for this is D major / B minor. Am I right?
Posted by: Phil66 Jun 13 2017, 01:53 PM
Lol, yes, sorry, I was using artistic freedom
Seriously though, I am that used to playing minor I found the root and went for it 
At the moment my ears can't differentiate. But, in the correct key, would something like that be ok?Cheers

The main issue here is the note choice for the strong beats related to the chords. You tend to play a major or minor second. For example, analyze the first bend and compare it with the chord sounding. That happens most of the time in this one. Try to target notes from the chord at first, thirds for example.
About your question, yes, experiment with the right key. Let's use this as a workout. Feel free to share more tries. (and please remember to share the only guitar file for the last take).
Posted by: Todd Simpson Jun 14 2017, 07:14 PM
Sounds like a plan!! I"ve been using odd keys and Major scales in many of my shred challenges as well. I do find that it can throw folks off just a pinch, but that's where the most learning happens imho In the spots that we are a bit jiggy on.

Definitely! Can we expect a take from you?
Posted by: Phil66 Jun 15 2017, 08:14 PM
Hello Gab,
I've been looking at this again and I now know where I went wrong, if you read your first post it says "The backing is in 150 bpm, and the key is B major (You can use B major pentatonic and/or D minor pentatonic)."
It didn't sound right to me but I didn't know why as I don't trust my ears and I was following instructions
Here's another go

Now your solo sounds great! Please don't forget to share only guitar + video.

Just wanted to let you know, Gabriel, that I'm starting to work on this ever so slowly. I have an exam ish thing in 2 weeks, meaning I don't get a summer break till the 30th, but I will be able to get something down before the deadline, I'm sure
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 19 2017, 12:14 AM
Hi Cael! Great!! Thanks for notifying! We need your vocals for this one!
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jun 19 2017, 03:28 PM
Just trying something for a verse. Starts about 22 seconds in.

"I saw rivers turn to blood
In the name of devils and the gods
Heard the angels cry in fear
As mother nature wiped away her tears"

Hi Cael! Sounds good! Please define with more precision the notes that you are singing. We need that the pitch sounds the more precise possible, because I'd like to harmonise this lead vocal. Learn the melody in your guitar and sing along to adjust pitch and we will have a hit.
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jun 20 2017, 06:56 PM
Sure thing, Gabriel. I've just been sitting for 30 minutes trying to figure out a melody for this as well as coming up with some lyrics
Still lots of work to do on it
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 21 2017, 07:29 PM
Still lots of work to do on it Excellent!!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 29 2017, 04:09 PM
How is this one going guys??
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jun 29 2017, 04:32 PM
Any possible help for some lyrics? Do any of you guys have anything in mind?
Posted by: Todd Simpson Jun 29 2017, 09:41 PM
maybe a bit of an extension?
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jun 30 2017, 01:26 PM
Any chance of an extension to this one Gab?
I have some ideas but haven't had much time to record due to being away the last 3 weekends.
I'll continue from your verse if you like Ben?

It's way faster than I am. I'm trying to catch up.that was awesome, Todd. Really digging those bluesy shreddy licks.
Posted by: Todd Simpson Jul 3 2017, 02:54 AM
Thanks! This was a great backing! I ripped most of the licks off of Paul Gilbert of course He does some great things with a blues scale at break neck speed. This axe makes it really easy to pull off as well. It's just freaky how easy this thing is to play. Never had a neck this thin and straight before with fretwire this new. My RG560 was 10 years old when I bought it, so it had some mileage on the neck/frets, etc. this one was a "case queen" so its' basically a new guitar. I never knew guitars could be this good honestly. It's almost cheating!!
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 3 2017, 03:13 PM
Ok, here's the Lyrics so far!
Where Angels fear to Tread
I saw Rivers turn to Blood
In the name of Devils and Gods
Heard the Angels scream instead
Where Man once feared to tread
Fury unleashed on ravaged Earth
Spirits ripped from their fragile roots
The Gods hid and Devils fled
Where Angels fear to tread
Visions of vengeful destruction
As far as the eye can see
Sodden Earth where they had bled
Where even Devils fear to tread
A Maelstrom of Man-made Mayhem
Panoramic in it's entirety
No Gravestones to mark the Dead
Where Angels, Gods and Devils fear to tread

Where Angels fear to Tread
I saw Rivers turn to Blood
In the name of Devils and Gods
Hard the Angels cry in fear
As Mother Nature wiped away her tears
Fury unleashed on ravaged Earth
Spirits ripped from their fragile roots
The Gods hid and Devils fled
Where Angels fear to tread
Visions of vengeful destruction

Sodden Earth where they had bled
Where even Devils fear to tread
Wou!! That's epic man!! I love it, it's perfect for the tune.
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 4 2017, 08:53 PM
Cool, glad you like it Gab! Do you think it needs any more verses?
Posted by: Todd Simpson Jul 4 2017, 10:04 PM
Thanks Gabe!! I made this one just for you actually. I tried to stay within a "Blues" framework but still going to crazy shred now and then, but slowing down for some bends/vibrato for counterpoint. Glad you like it I just got the guitar. They are VERY rare and it's the best playing instrument I've ever touched. The action is the same height at the 24th fret as it is at the 1st! 
Are we getting closer to a final version?
Todd
Wou!! That's epic man!! I love it, it's perfect for the tune.
D Major would work well
I used D BLUES pretty much the entire time and added a few notes in for good measure. Basically starting the blues scale on the 10th fret. The root being low E 10th fret. D string 12th fret. High E 10th fret. As long as you land on those roots now and then, it will help tie your solo together. Also bending from the G string up a whole step will work. Hope this helps
Todd
Seriously though, I am that used to playing minor I found the root and went for it At the moment my ears can't differentiate. But, in the correct key, would something like that be ok?Cheers
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 5 2017, 02:00 PM
That's up to you. I'll define the structure based on the guitar solos that we get and off course on the vocals. If you have more ideas, write them, if now, I can repeat a verse if it's necessary.
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jul 5 2017, 03:06 PM
I'll try and get some vocals down in the following days. My mom was here till a couple of hours ago. She was here for 3-4 days, where I then couldn't record vocals. I hope that's okay, Gabriel
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 5 2017, 05:12 PM
Yep, just one more verse that's done now!
Cool Ben, I'll wait to hear what you do and maybe add some Backing Vox (this isn't my normal style so I'm a bit out of my league!!)
There's one more verse too:-
A Maelstrom of Man-made Mayhem
Panoramic in it's entirety
No Gravestones to mark the Dead
Where Angels, Gods and Devils fear to tread
I'll add that to the original Lyric post too.
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jul 5 2017, 05:36 PM
If you feel like it, please do edit the first verse too (the one I made). It's not half as good as yours!
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 5 2017, 06:10 PM
Well thanks for the compliment Ben! Te only thing I've now changed is the last 2 lines!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 7 2017, 03:20 PM
Ok guys! We also need more guitar solos for this one! Anybody?
Posted by: Phil66 Jul 7 2017, 09:21 PM
I think Todd has cleaned up on the solo front mate Can't follow that 
Posted by: Todd Simpson Jul 7 2017, 09:35 PM
PHIL66 Your time has come!! All the work you have been doing in bootcamp is about to payoff as you KILL this SOLO!!!!
Dig Deep and RIP IT UP!!!! 
Todd
Can't follow that Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jul 9 2017, 04:49 PM
I'm sorry that I've been a bit slow with this, Gabriel. Summer has gotten over me. I'm trying to find the spirit for the right vocal performance.
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 9 2017, 05:04 PM
I will have something this week Gab.
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jul 9 2017, 06:23 PM
Been working on the vocals for the past hour. Let's see if some of it is useful Will upload in a bit.
Let me know if any of this can work and I will either keep these if they're good enough or maybe redo if needed.
It was sometimes difficult to make the lyrics fit though, which is maybe obvious in some parts. I like the lyrics though!
Also difficult to channel my inner Michael Poulsen. He has a very special voice.

We are definitely on the right track!! I like the melodies and the way you are singing. I think that if you give some more days of practice, you'll be able to give the clean parts more attitude and it will be killer. Do you think that it's possible?
The final growls are epic.

Feel free to provide your vocals as well so I can create a mix!
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jul 10 2017, 03:23 PM
I've worked a bit more on it, Gabriel, as well as on a structure
https://soundcloud.com/benjamin-storm-linnebjerg/full-song-idea-for-volbeat-collab-at-gmc
Would you like me to provide several takes for each verse/chorus so you can pick and choose? At the moment I have about 3 takes for each part recorded for you, but if you just want me to pick what I think sounds the best, I'll do that.
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 12 2017, 05:31 PM
Hi Cael! That sounds amazing! I love it!! I think that it's ok if you send me the vocals that you've chosen. This structure and vocals are totally killer. I love it!!
It's a pity that we don't have more GMCers on this one participating with guitar lines, arrangements or solos. This one could be really big. We've build a very cool song.
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jul 12 2017, 06:09 PM
Awesome, Gabriel! Glad you like it
I'll shoot a video too if you want me to do so
Posted by: Todd Simpson Jul 12 2017, 06:24 PM
I'm still hoping BEN Finds time to make a solo as well as Vocals!!! Would be cool to have two lazer blue vintage Ibby's in the video as a bonus

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 17 2017, 02:32 PM
That's great Todd! Well done!
I've been inviting some GMCers that will be working on something this week. I think that the track deserves more soloists so let's give this some more time and cross fingers for new submits!

I agree! The more solos the better I honestly thought we would have a flood of solos by now. It is summer though and folks are out and about Hope some folks come back from the beach and start tracking cool licks!

Here is my intro. My ear must be getting better because I could not remember what I played on the first take but I knew the scale, I transcribed it all by myself . I guess the fact that it was my own piece and I knew the scale I would have used helped a lot but there was a time not long ago that I just wouldn't have been able to do that
I left the original in, kinda like a twin lead thing, I think it works but I've put both versions for the Soundcloud downloads.

I'm quite pleased with it, could do with more vibrato on the held notes but I struggle to fit it in on fast playing at the moment.
Cheers

Hey! Decided to jump in and make a solo for the last part. I hope I'm not to late.

Left you the "dry" if you have some better tones. I didn't bother to much with the sound, just tweaked a preset from EZmix.

Hey mate! I'm working on this one but I want you to be part! So I can wait until tomorrow to add your take.

SJ or Cael, could you please share with me the complete lyrics? I couldn't find the chorus words in the original lyrics.

Thanks a lot for joining guys!

Cael suggested me working on a Volbeat style one so I've checked my lesson based on them and decided to go for this backing since it has a big potential to become a hit! The idea is to create a real song track so we will need guitar solos, arrangements, melodies and off course lyrics and vocals.
The backing is in 150 bpm, and the key is D major (You can use D major pentatonic and/or B minor pentatonic).
All the additional info about the track can be found https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Volbeat-Style/.

WHO IS IN?
This is the final work!
I was about to do it but I thought it was too late

Have you heard your voice over your acoustic guitar? The acoustic version would be epic as well. Try it and share a mix if you want, it's very interesting.
Posted by: bleez Jul 28 2017, 07:35 PM
that was excellent. well done guys.
Posted by: Todd Simpson Jul 29 2017, 06:55 AM
I wanted to give this a few days to simmer in my brain to make sure it wasn't just the initial rush but the good news is that after watching over several days and sharing with friends, THIS JUST FREAKING RAWKS!!!!! Everything about it is cool. My fave part is BENS VOCALS and the CHORUS it's catchy!!! I can see this being in rotation on any Rock Station, live or streaming. I hope it gets picked up by various streaming outlets and goes viral. It's just that good. Can't wait to jump in on the next one!!
GREAT JOB EVERYBODY!!!!
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 30 2017, 04:00 PM
I'll have a play around with it and see what I can come up with!!
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jul 31 2017, 06:54 PM
Wait until you hear what I am working on for the Chester one!!
Looking forward to it
