Discuss your ideas and thoughts in here guys. Good luck and can't wait to hear what comes out of this one.

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 03:21 PM

Thank you so much, Steve!

Hey there mentors!
Welcome to the advanced virtual band.

At first, we have to discuss what we are going to play. So, I suggest that everyone posts his interests/favourite music styles, ok?

Mine are: experimental music, rock, jazz&blues (here I am pretty weak, so I have to develop my skills for this topic).

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 12 2009, 03:30 PM

Thanks Steve, and well done Tolek for getting this organised. Think it's an excellent idea and a great way to get to know each other better

I'm very open to giving new styles/ideas/covers a go so am happy to tag along with the groups ideas or produce some myself.

My style? oh dear. Well I spend most of my time putting Pink Floyd backing tracks on, and just doing my thing

I'm not the fastest player, and there's area's that need work but I'll give ANYTHING a go. So lets be creative!

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 12 2009, 03:31 PM

I like everything from delta blues to death metal. haha so we can play acoustic Robert Johnson or we can do ear pummeling Cannibal Corpse - either way I'd be happy.

On a more serious note, since this is an 'advanced' band - I was thinking we could do a band in the style of 'advanced' players. I'm thinking we could utilize unorthodox modal progressions, create simple but resonating melodies, and perhaps do some really cool memorable 3rd or 5th degree harmonies...Or maybe something weird like 4ths I dunno.

I can create drum tracks, play bass, and guitar - so which ever I'm needed for I can do.

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 03:35 PM

Awesome to have you on board, guys.

fatb0t, your idea of advanced style is good. I sometimes come up with extremely weird stuff, so finally it could be used wisely.

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 12 2009, 03:38 PM

First thing we should get organised is getting a band leader, my vote would be for tolek (if he wants to, as you organised this mate).

I didn't get what steve meant fully by being a band leader, I got the impression it meant that the leader shouldn't play?

If thats the case, I'd say it would be better if in our case we have the band leader just as involved in writing and producing material .

We just need to allocate someone to get things organised and within time dates and things, but still playing in the song(s) obviously.


Lets wait for everyone who's on board to get in touch I guess before deciding. But keep the suggestions flooding in for what we could do!:D

Posted by: lcsdds Jan 12 2009, 03:40 PM

I am probably the least versatile player here as I have basically been a musical loner my whole life. I love 80's rock and instrumentals in the style of Vai, Satch etc. I am open to do whatever. Originals, covers anything really. I am just so excited to have a REAL reason to keep practicing my guitar and now actually do something with it. Thanks for organizing this Tolek and I look forward to working with all my new virtual band mates.

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 03:41 PM

Tolek as a Band Leader? I know him for some time now and I know that he doesn´t have much experience with mixing etc. But if nobody else wants to take this position, he would agree and learn to mix.

No, seriously. Let´s do a voting for a band leader, ok?

lcsdds: you play great, please don´t have any doubts, ok?

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 12 2009, 03:45 PM

Experience in mixing might be a good thing for us to say if we have actually, although i think it if anyone with less experience wants to give it a go, they should be able to

Tolek still gets my vote

I have some mixing experience, but not huge amounts. I don't know anything compex but I do have Audition and Premier.

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 12 2009, 04:09 PM

Well I'm okay at that kinda stuff...I make full songs from time to time. I'm not exactly good at organizing people though..

Tolek you seem to be the organizational type! I can help you mix the tune though.

Anyways, I think we should do an original...Should it be an all instrumental?

You guys know how Muris does his Junk Melody, where he mixes like 6 different influences in one song? If the song were to be instrumental this would be a very good way to keep the song fresh and interesting..

Start off maybe very slow, clean arpeggios, go into an 80s ballad of sorts with some cool harmonies, then maybe like a rockin' mixolydian based riff, then I dunno haha

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 04:16 PM

Ok, two votes for me. I don´t know yet who I should give mine, so I´ll just wait until everybody posted here a bit.
I see what you mean with Junk Medley. I am for this, too.
We can do vocals, too, but without me. It sounds so horrible when I sing.


By the way, you can add me in MSN if you like, guys: chilxl_xtolek at hotmail com (without x´s)

Posted by: Velvet Roger Jan 12 2009, 04:20 PM

Nah, the least versatile player has to be me . I am up for all kinds of music, from slow blues until progressive rock. Metal is nowadays not really my cup of tea anymore (since I loose hair too rapidly, my interest for metal went with the hairs down the drain ). I am always up for some advanced chord progressions and such.

Wouldn't consider myself advanced at all (since a little while I can live with the fact that I am actually an intermediate player instead of beginner ), but am certainly willing to do my best to make something nice out of this!

First thing to decide seems to me whether we would do a cover or write some new material?

My vote goes to Tolek as band leader! Great initiative you put in there Tolek

Posted by: Iluha Jan 12 2009, 04:24 PM

Wait, what? what the hell man? I think it's only fair you let the only 3 of us that actualy showed intrest in being in an advanced VB, to be in an advanced VB.

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 04:25 PM

I´d say we could do a cover at the beginning to get warm. Maybe these? "While my guitar gently weeps", "Fly me to the moon"?


Is this group of mentors be only for this month or longer or what?

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 12 2009, 04:29 PM

Yeah, I'm definitely not advanced like Muris or Emir either, not even remotely close - but we can try to tackle some of the concepts they have in their songs. Basically lets not do a I IV V progression or something boring, lets try something experimental - out of our comfort zones and see what we end up with.

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 04:32 PM

I see, sorry about that! Please contact Skennington who is the organizer/manager of all bands. Good luck!


1+

Posted by: Velvet Roger Jan 12 2009, 04:38 PM

Sure thing, more than happy to do this.

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 12 2009, 04:40 PM

Hey Iluha - not exactly sure - but I think this is only for mentors in the MTP. Tolek came up with the idea of us creating an advanced virtual band. I think it's a separate entity to the regular advanced virtual band. Skenny can clarify.

Posted by: Iluha Jan 12 2009, 04:42 PM

I know this is only for mentors, but it came instead of the advanced VB because there simply wasn't enough sign ups..
I sent Skennington a pm giving my thoughts on all the VB's, I have a good, yet preety obvious idea which I hope he will embrace =p

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 04:50 PM

Correction: it was Skenny´s idea. My idea was this: I wanted to sign up as an advanced member to make possible the start of an advanced band.

First upload!

Posted by: lcsdds Jan 12 2009, 05:17 PM

I vote for Tolek as band leader. I think it would be cool to do a cover where there is alot of room for guitar fills etc. Van Halen's version of "One way to rock" or White Lion's version of "Radar Love" would be fun. I like fatb0t's idea as well.

Monte

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 12 2009, 05:30 PM

It's up to you guys - I was just throwing out suggestions.

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 12 2009, 05:44 PM

Looks good guys

May I suggest we keep the plan relatively simple for a first take from this virtual band? If we pick a backing track from somewhere, all assign certain time lengths to play over - like a mini collaboration. That way we can find out where each others strengths lye and who is comfortable doing the mixing.

Also be a fun introduction to this band

Then we can start collaborating on some complicated shizzle!

(bare in mind with complicated theory stuff, I will require my hand to be held!)

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 12 2009, 06:01 PM

Guys this is going to rock hard I can feel it. I look forward to your uploads.

Congratulations on getting in the band

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 12 2009, 06:04 PM

Thanks Pedja

These guys know their theory, so I might be poking you for help very soon!!

Posted by: lcsdds Jan 12 2009, 06:09 PM

I think this is a good idea. Why don't we come up with say a 24 bar backing like Emir is doing with the student collaboration and everybody have a go at it. Then, like AJ said, we can all get a feel of each other's style. I am sure we could get a backing track from somewhere or one of you guys has a chord progression that you have been dying to use for something. I think simple to start is a good idea.

Monte

Posted by: enforcer Jan 12 2009, 06:19 PM

Hey guys, glad to be here, Tolek will be a wonderful Band leader imo!

For the first song, I think we could do something like G3's Smoke on the Water cover I dont suggest we shall play Smoke on the water, but some classic like that and improvise a lot.

What do you say about it?

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 12 2009, 06:20 PM

That sounds great to me! I love improvising on that track. I'd actually say it would be a good one to do! But we could always come up with something similar

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 06:34 PM

I made a little backing track, so everybody can jam to it. It´s in C minor and the chords are: Cmin9, Fmin9, Dmin7b5. (Thanks to chast who showed me this awesome progression!).

Let the jam begin!

 C_min_Backing.mp3 ( 998.52K ) : 243

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 12 2009, 06:45 PM

Personally, I'll need some help knowing what scales I can use over that backing. I warned you my theory wasn't up to par with you guys!

Posted by: enforcer Jan 12 2009, 06:55 PM

You can select them yourself man if you wish, its quite easy actually:

Cmin9 C Eb G B Db

Fmin9 F Ab C Eb Gb

Dmin7b5 D F Ab C

C D Eb F G Ab B C are the on scale notes only Gb on Fmin9 is the intruder there
you might be able to play C Harmonic minor all around
only on Fmin9 you should change it to Hungarian minor

Hungarian Minor:

C D Eb F# G Ab B C

edit: F# doesnt exist in C minor and C Melodic is incompatible! It should be Hungarian Minor, I always make this mistake

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 06:57 PM

Ok, no problem man!
You can use C Minor & C Minor Pentatonic. You can try and experiment a bit.

@enforcer:
Well explained. However, there´s a problem: "only on Fmin9 you should change it to C Melodic minor if I am not mistaken...". C Melodic Minor Scale: C D Eb F G A B C. And the Fmin9 chords is, as you said: F Ab C Eb Gb (actually you said F# which doesn´t exist in C minor ). So, you can´t play that scale over this chord because it would sound out of tune in view of the A and Ab.

Posted by: lcsdds Jan 12 2009, 06:59 PM

Any of the scales that go with C minor/ Eb major. AJ, if you check out my MTP thread I gave Jesse some tabs of the different diatonic box shapes, pentatonic box shapes as well as sliding diatonic and pentatonic shapes. If you don't know these I would reccomend downloading them and learning them. I also gave him guitar pro file with all the triad shapes and explained to them where they come from. The triad shapes are very handy as well. Don't know where you theory knowledge is but if you spend a couple months and really get these shapes under your fingers it will open up a lot of doors for your playing and you will have TONS of options when playing over chord progression.

Monte

Posted by: UncleSkillet Jan 12 2009, 07:37 PM

Hi guys. Tolek you sent me a PM about this yesterday I thinks. Did I mis-understand or am I a part of this VB as well? Seems like everyone has decided on something.

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 07:38 PM

Hey there! You are included, too, if you want! Try to record a take to the backing that I posted above.

Posted by: wrk Jan 12 2009, 07:53 PM

Great initiative Tolek!! Thanks for sending me a PM about it.
Sorry for joining a bit late, you guys are already in move

The progression is nice tolek. You don't think it might be good to have first a drum track together with this progression. It will not be easy to loop it otherwise.

I maybe can try to put something together tonight if you like ...

Posted by: UncleSkillet Jan 12 2009, 07:59 PM

I like the idea of a drum track also. Chord progression sounds good but the drums will give it more life and it will be easier to mix once we create a loop.

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 12 2009, 08:04 PM

I agree with you guys, a drum track would be important. This is supposed to be the advanced group - we should make it as professional as possible.

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 12 2009, 08:07 PM

Hey man Yeah, don't worry we haven't done anything without you! Just tossing idea's around, and not writing anything in stone till all the mentors are here.

Oh and here's a take I just made - Just improvised for now, and have to upload the last take as have just had to turn off the DR Z, but thought I'd at least let you guys hear a take The end kinda came and suprised me, hence the lack of feel from my playing for an ending. Oh well!  cmin9_mixdown.mp3 ( 1.95MB ) : 265

Posted by: enforcer Jan 12 2009, 08:16 PM

you see I am mistaken
I always make this mistake of mentioning Melodic Minor in place of good old hungarian minor. I made this mistake of F# because there is actually a F# in C Hungarian Minor

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 08:56 PM

Ok, let´s do a drum track!
I just tried to make one with RiffWorks, but I am too stupid for it. Who takes over?

Enforcer, correct!

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 12 2009, 08:57 PM

It's just straight up C Aeolian isn't it?

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 09:02 PM

Yeah. You can use this scale or its pentatonic. (or sometimes the harmonic minor scale)

Posted by: enforcer Jan 12 2009, 09:11 PM

I can do a drum track but I am with my mobile solution so my vsti options is kinda limited because of the cpu needs. I will make a midi file of it if it works and you can make it more realistic on ez drums or something.

One other suggestion, lets make that chord progression "Cmin9 Fmin9 Bdim7 Cmin9" in place of "Cmin9 Fmin9 Bdim7" This diminished chord feels like it requires a Cmin9 before the end of the loop...

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 09:13 PM

Ok! However, it´s not Bdim7. It´s Dmin7b5 (D F Ab Db). It sounds the same, but the notes aren´t the same.

I´m glad you can do a DT.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 12 2009, 09:33 PM

yeah man I meant that



We should pick a tempo shouldnt we?

Posted by: UncleSkillet Jan 12 2009, 09:34 PM

What about a bass track? Any thoughts on this? If we had a midi file and someone has a VST it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 09:36 PM

I can give it a try tomorrow. However, I never used VSts! Big time to start!

Posted by: enforcer Jan 12 2009, 09:37 PM

Maybe someone has a bass guitar?

Posted by: Tolek Jan 12 2009, 10:05 PM

I don´t, but I am currently making a midi file.

I just realized that I wrote something wrong in my previous posts:

Dmin7b5 is D F Ab C, but I play D F Ab B, so it´s just simply: D dim7.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 12 2009, 10:19 PM

Dminmaj6/5-

even maybe Abmin/5-

Posted by: wrk Jan 12 2009, 11:33 PM

I was playing around a bit with Tolek's progression and came up with something like this .. i added a G7 at the end:

 progression_01.mp3 ( 861.96K ) : 224

 progression_01_drums.mp3 ( 861.96K ) : 188

Only an idea of course. I'm not sure if you guys want to go in this direction, but maybe we can collect first some ideas from everybody and do a selection afterwards.

Edit:
I added the drum loop as well, if you want to try some else or an idea how to continue this progression.

Posted by: Velvet Roger Jan 12 2009, 11:59 PM

I like it wrk .

The progression is great, however for me it's a bit repetitive. What about having this progression for about 1/2 the time currently, and have a transition to another progression (which a similar length) - (am currently on the road, so can't really give input to the other progression before some time tomorrow). Once we have that, everybody could record a take on either progression 1 or 2 and we can mix it together nicely?

Just an idea

Posted by: wrk Jan 13 2009, 12:36 AM

of course.. i played this progression one time and looped it. Just as an example. After 2 times should come something else for sure.

Posted by: UncleSkillet Jan 13 2009, 12:57 AM

I liked it to wrk Has room in the progression for a cool bass grove and some spicey guitar licks

We do need a change though. I can't jam right now because it's a school night and I'm playing the Daddy role.

Posted by: Tolek Jan 13 2009, 06:00 PM

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! That´s the tiredness. Sorry! I wrote the wrong notes again. The real notes are: D F Ab Cb. The Cb doens´t sound odd because it´s the B, the Major 7th from the C minor scale. And the chord is: D dim. Or am I wrong again?


Awesome backing, wrk. Thanks!


I spontaneously played a progression that is a 2nd minor higher and it goes like this (starting from the last chord of the first Cmin progression):
G7 - G# - C#min - C#min - G# - A - F#min - G# - C#min...
 onetwo.mp3 ( 616.59K ) : 181

Is this good?

Posted by: enforcer Jan 13 2009, 06:08 PM

I got an idea, lets name our band!!

few ideas I know they are kinda silly:

MeanTaurus
Dream Tutors
Alien Fingers Big Band
the G10
GMC Security Council
Cold Laboration
GuitarPlayster United

what do you think?

Yeah man, there are somedays all of us lack some attention Np, it sounds good nomatter whats the name

The backing works for me, and I got a question, is there a piezo bridge on your axe or this is a acoustic guitar?

Posted by: Tolek Jan 13 2009, 06:12 PM

I use my lovely JEM, switched to the bridge pick up (in the second part). The tone is created by POD Farm where the amp is a Line6 Piezacoustic.

That names are pretty cool. I´d go for "Dream Tutors", "the G10" or "GMC Security Council". And here´s my proposition:
Kris and the fantastic 10

Posted by: wrk Jan 13 2009, 06:15 PM

... the fantastic 10 will be soon reduced to the fantastic 5

Dream Tutors sounds cute i think

Posted by: Tolek Jan 13 2009, 06:18 PM

I don´t want to loose half my body if you know what I mean...


Oh, and I decided who gets my vote for band leader: wrk. But I think, this won´t change much.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 13 2009, 06:24 PM

As you have lots of votes Tolek, your vote counts as ten so wrk is our new band leader congrats mate!

Posted by: Tolek Jan 13 2009, 06:33 PM

Crazy! What a democracy...

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 13 2009, 06:37 PM

Is this a collaboration or is it a virtual band? Don't we need like a whole song?

Posted by: wrk Jan 13 2009, 07:00 PM

well done Tolek, well done !! You have started this thing so you deserve to have some responsability
I vote for Tolek.

To create a song should be the goal i think.
As we all play different stuff/styles, maybe we could collect ideas first and see how we can build a song out of it.
Just an idea.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 13 2009, 07:14 PM

Yeah we have to decide the style first for example... Will it be something Jazzy, Funky, Fusion or Progressive Metal kinda thing?

Posted by: Tolek Jan 13 2009, 07:24 PM

Ok, ok, I accept my new position. Thank you a lot for your confidence. I will do my best to not disappoint you all!

I´m trying to find some other parts for our song. I plan to do it in "Junk Medley" style with a lot of different styles in it. Is everybody ok with it?

Btw, nobody added me in MSN.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 13 2009, 07:39 PM

Thats a great idea Tolek, It will be a little hard to incorporate but with some work it will be ok...
By the way my msn is prophet_3797-AT-hotmail.com every body can add

Edit - changed the @ to -AT-. Sorry for the edit Enforcer, just trying to stop you getting tons of spam. Tony

Posted by: Velvet Roger Jan 13 2009, 08:08 PM

Finally back from work .... yeah I like this idea Tolek, at least for our first project

We are already connected on MSN mate My MSN is btw: crit xATx rjmm xDOTx nl

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 15 2009, 01:57 AM

Hey guys, sorry I've neglected this thread for a couple days!

So whats the plan?

I'm trying to decide if I should possibly leave this to you guys, as my theory knowledge is so poor for anything more complicated than Aeolian and Minor/Major pentatonics. I don't say this with the hope for praise out of modesty, just being honest about whether or not my ability will have the same advanced quality feel as what you guys would come up with

I'm still 100% happy to give this a solid go, and you can expect 100% dedication to getting the best out of me for whatever I add to this, but also thought the above should be said.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 15 2009, 03:43 AM

I liked very much the rhythm ideas guys, but I belive it wont work like that it is even hard to try to create a song but the 10 of us? I think we can go for something easier like making a G10 version of smoke on the water like old classic for example...

By the way AjMurell did you like the name Dream Tutors? It has already 3 votes for our band name

Posted by: UncleSkillet Jan 15 2009, 05:00 AM

I also will vote for Dream Tutors! It's kind of growing on me.

As far as music I think we are maybe trying to make things to complicated (IMHO). I don't want to do SOTW though! Please, it is a classic but it was the first song I ever learned and I am to old to do it again (no challenge).

I think we should put our own feel to a cover tone. Lets decide on a style and song. We can get the job done with anything we choose to do. We only have 30 days! We are all really talented musicians and we don't have to play every chord and modal solo to impress people.

This is just my 2 cents and yes Tolek if you want to be the leader you have my vote.

Lets get it done guys

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 15 2009, 08:30 AM

There's a very cool song I'm learning at the moment with some tasty guitar harmonies, and its so much fun!

Thought I'd post it as an idea - it's from kill bill 2 so we've all heard it

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6I3tH6tUr8s

 malaguena_salerosa.gp4 ( 32.81K ) : 121



Could even just take the backing chords and come up with our own thing? It's got a cool sound, I love it

Posted by: Velvet Roger Jan 15 2009, 08:49 AM

I am more than happy with the name Dream Tutors

I must say that in order to make this work, a cover of an old time classic would be rather cool and do-able with the whole group I guess

Posted by: enforcer Jan 15 2009, 03:31 PM

How about ytsejam from dream theater? It has a great solo part, we can improvise over that part?!

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 18 2009, 02:53 AM

So guys, whats the plan? We should try to push forward with organising something for us to attempt, simply to get the ball rolling.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 18 2009, 03:23 AM

Well yes Ajmurrel what do you think about covering Ytsejam from DT? It is not too hard (considering DT's last tunes) and we have a great improvisation part in the middle...

Posted by: Tolek Jan 18 2009, 10:51 AM

I prefer something else... Maybe "While my guitar gently weeps" or "Still got the Blues"?

Posted by: Velvet Roger Jan 18 2009, 11:24 AM

I am not really a DT minded person, so I would prefer while my guitar gently weeps

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 18 2009, 01:18 PM

Big DT fan, don't get me wrong (seen them twice!!) but it looks like its been vetoed Also there are some pretty tricky time signature changes in that song that could get confusing!

I'd be happy with guitar gently weeps

Posted by: UncleSkillet Jan 18 2009, 05:17 PM

I'm OK with "While my guitar gently weeps"

Posted by: Tolek Jan 18 2009, 05:23 PM

Until now the old Beatles song has more votes. Let´s wait what the others say.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 18 2009, 05:40 PM

Well I think that WMGGW is a great idea, but I just participated Emirs Collab, and that collab had the same progression of WMGGW, so this will be a second time for me. If everybody agrees I wont have any problem about that

Cheers

Can

Posted by: Tolek Jan 18 2009, 05:44 PM

Same here. However, it´s a cool exercice to find something different for the same progression.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 18 2009, 05:56 PM

I agree lets go

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 18 2009, 06:02 PM

while my guitar gently weeps I would prefer

Posted by: lcsdds Jan 18 2009, 06:12 PM

Sorry I haven't been on this thread much. WMGGW is fine with me as well.!!

Posted by: Tolek Jan 18 2009, 06:24 PM

I think we have a winner! I arranged a backing track recently, but it´s only a part from that song. I can do a complete one.
Does anybody want to sing? Or are we going to do only solos?

Posted by: enforcer Jan 18 2009, 06:38 PM

I can sing if you wish, but there it will be very important which key to play the song as I am a baritone

Posted by: Tolek Jan 18 2009, 06:42 PM

Is A minor ok for you? You can change the melody if you like, no problem.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 18 2009, 06:48 PM

If its the key of original beatles version its ok.. I checked it out now, I can easily sing from there...

Posted by: Tolek Jan 18 2009, 06:53 PM

Very good! I hope that I´ll finish the backing soon.
Who wants to solo in Major Parts and who wants to solo in Minor Parts?

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 18 2009, 07:50 PM

I'll take a major part since i'm always stuck soloing in minor tonalities.

Posted by: Velvet Roger Jan 18 2009, 08:17 PM

I will take a minor part then . Is it ok to improvise it, btw?

When Tolek has the backing finished we can divide all parts I guess

Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 18 2009, 08:22 PM

I'm quite happy to take any part thats available Improvised yeah? Be very fun! Lets have a healthy amount of bars to each widdle with

Posted by: enforcer Jan 18 2009, 08:28 PM

Yeah we can add lots of bars for everyone here to play an improvisation solo ...

Posted by: Tolek Jan 18 2009, 08:32 PM

Sure, I had nothing else than improvising in mind. I am going to create the whole backing which I´m gonna split so that you can just simply take the part you want to play over and record it.

thats great Tolek

I really like this song, the minor parts are very emotional. I'll figure out something triumphant and happy for the major parts.

Posted by: enforcer Jan 21 2009, 05:26 PM

Tolek if you can send the backtrack that you are preparing now I may record vocal parts and send them back to you..

I'll take a minor part (solo) if thats OK?

Posted by: Tolek Jan 21 2009, 08:50 PM

Ok, you can have a Major Part.


Sure, just wait a few days, I didn´t have much time until now...


Sure!

Hey man,

Don't want to rush you, was just interested in how you're doing with the backing track? If you're having a busier time than you were expecting we can always arrange someone else to produce it No pressure man

Posted by: Tolek Jan 26 2009, 10:53 PM

Hey there!
Please excuse this very long delay... I am extremely busy in the last few weeks. I have to prepare for my classical guitar exam which is very important for me, the MTP, collaborations,... . I try to finish it this week!

Excuse me, please.

Tolek

No pressure man

Just wanted to jump in and offer to help if you've got loads going on.

Would it be helpfull if one of us did the backing to help you with your exam and things?

Not trying to steal it away from you or anything, if you're still happy and want to do it then thats fine man

Good luck with the exam!

Posted by: Tolek Jan 27 2009, 10:07 PM

Thanks for your help! You all have chosen me, so I have to do my work. I give the best I can offer at the moment.



So far I´ve got this.

 While_my....gp5 ( 11.3K ) : 145


It´s not everyhing yet. I have to import it in Reaper where I am going to give a VST to each track, etc. Is it ok?
Could somebody add some drums in the style that I started in the .gp5 file, please?

See you!
Tolek

It sounds very impressive man Good work!

Posted by: fatb0t Feb 2 2009, 05:15 PM

What's the status of this? We still need to make a backing track right?

Posted by: Tolek Feb 2 2009, 05:18 PM

Correct. Can somebody take the .gp5 file and add a drum track to it? I think it should be complete then, or?

Posted by: skennington Feb 22 2009, 05:20 PM

What are your plans guys? Going to be opening a new sign-up thread soon so just wanted to check in.

Posted by: UncleSkillet Feb 22 2009, 05:27 PM

I would say move on with the other thread. We had a hard time coming up with a backing track so we haven't really started anything yet.

Posted by: Tolek Feb 22 2009, 05:43 PM

Sorry that it didn´t work, but all of you know that we all had not much time because of the MTP. I had some other things to do at school and barely played the guitar...
