The GMC United Video Collab
We have decided to start a new collab which pays tribute to us, students and instructors - the GMC Community! As usual, Cosmin, Darius and Gabriel are the hosts and guides, so if in any way along the take submission period you feel stuck, please post your feedback in this thread or send us a PM! ------------------------------------------- BACKING TRACK This collab is based on Gabriel's Snow Patrol Lesson: Backing_Track.wav ( 7.27MB ) Number of downloads: 1768 Tempo : 100 BPM Key : A Major ------------------------------------------- In case anybody is wondering how to enter this collaboration: 1. Download the backing track and open it in your recording software 2. Record your part in the recording software and with your video cam (if you have the possibility to record video). You can record anything - a short fill part, rhythm based ideas, or a full lead part (solo). 3. Render one track containing your recording only - 16 bit wave file 44,1 kHz 4. Render one track containing both solo and backing track in an .mp3 format 5. Send us your video (preferably in .mp4 format) As before, you can send us the last 3 files mentioned, using a dropbox link, or any other transfer service you are used to, by posting them in this thread or attaching them to a private message. If you can't submit a video, you can send us only the audio files and some pictures of you - it will work out great as well! The more pictures you send, the better will it be for editing in the final video! When attaching/sending the collab files, please include the source file of the video as well. Needless to say IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER/ ADVANCED/ PRO/ GOD - all styles, approaches and all levels are welcome and you can even play just a short fill if you feel like it! Bringing your contribution to this track and tribute to the GMC community is what really matters! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collab tips: As in the previous collabs, we want this one to be as strong as possible, as this will give your playing and progress maximum exposure. So here's what we suggest: Making short but polished and detailed lines will always give you better results. If you focus on a short part of the backing track, then you will most likely amaze yourself and others! No explicit need to play over the full backing track length, pick any amount of bars you feel most comfortable playing over. It is always better to come up with something short but catchy or memorable!

I already made my first test rec for this collab and I'm happy to get some honest feedback about it Tell anything you think about the sound, idea and everything. I'm a beginner, so I have many technical and speed limits for playing I'm in like I said before this is my first collab so I have to ask few things..can I make a few different parts for same collab or just only one? Still learning so many things at the same time with guitar training...recording (audio and video)...editing.. and try to find out some good sounds from my Boss GT-10..so many buttons and controllers. Any tips and feedbacks are good for me https://soundcloud.com/slowfingax/firstversion-gmc-united-collab Awesome first Collab take mate! It's great to see you evolving so fast in different aspects! I think that your take is very promising and we can use it this one and it would be ok! It sounds melodic and fits good with the backing. Now let's go with some suggestions to improve this one or the next ones. I think that you could continue working the melody, doing variations, improving the parts that are less defined if you want to experiment more with this backing. You can also give your playing more feeling, focus on vibrato, and some other techniques like slides, legato and bending. These ones gives our playing more life. Regarding your tone, it's ok but I would experiment a bit more with EQ, to make it sound "bigger", it sounds a bit weak. You can experiment adding a tube screamer or sustainer to the tone before the amp simulator, and set the "amp" with less drive. Adding some delay to make it sounds bigger can also help. As you can see, I give you some guidelines but the key is "experimenting". Thanks for joining this one and congrats for your great job! -------------------- My lessons
