Hi mate! I'm also adjusting the mix to try to give this one more low end. I'll be uploading new files soon.

What did you exactly do? maybe I can also add it to the new mixes so I have that sound in my project for the final mix.

It's only eq'ing but there is a lot of bands used to be honest sad.gif I sort of mastered it to be flatter sounding like part 1-2 is.

But basically lowered the 3.5khz area and increased 8khz and 1 khz to compensate the treble loss. On the more bassy one I increased around 80-100hz

Feel free to send the new mixes to me, I'd like to try mastering them if needed.

Posted by: maharzan Feb 22 2019, 08:16 AM

Ah my bad, It should have been a clean tone perhaps.. I will try another one. smile.gif

Thanks for the details!! I'll be uploading new files here. I work on Collabs using the full proyect so I can edit arrangements if necessary so these tracks mastered are not useful for me, but maybe we can share here your versions if they help participants to work on their takes.

Late reply sorry, I thought it might be better for me not doing that as then they'll eq their tones differently and would get more harder for you to eq their solos.

Hi Phil! What about following the chords with chord tones? Try using thirds at first.

I don't agree! laugh.gif It's a killer starting point! The main melody of this song is build with thirds, and other notes from the scale are used as passing tones, exactly as it happens in the guitar pro example that I've shared!



Chords are: D - A - Bm - G. Follow this chords with thirds and you'll recognize Electric Gipsy's melody. We could do this with a lot of songs. The key is to make the connections interesting, and what's more important, to start moving, start creating, so then inspiration appears and we can start adding other notes from the triad and even other extensions. smile.gif

Thanks Gab,

I meant playing along just using thirds doesn't seem exciting, and passing notes does help. I guess it's my lack of phrasing skills that makes it unexciting.

I'll try buddy but only three days left and my mentoring thread to work on is going to be hard wink.gif I know you've got your tour of Mexico very soon so you can't extend the deadline.

Cheers

Phil

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Feb 27 2019, 08:16 PM

If you build from the thirds idea, add passing notes, bends etc. you will end up with something awesome, I'm sure, Phil!

Mind you, this was done quickly, so bear with me on mistakes.

Here's an example based on Gab's ideas:

 Collab_Ideas_2.gp5 ( 5.15K ) : 65
 

Posted by: Phil66 Feb 27 2019, 09:37 PM

Thanks Gab and Ben,

Ben, the last part of that GP5 is brilliant. I guess I don't have the knowledge at the moment to build something like that, it's a little bit overwhleming to be honest. I'm so used to just playing the pentatonic in the root of the whole piece that this is scrambling my brain. I know I really need to work on following the chords but I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever be able to do it, you need multiple brains to be able to lsten, play, keep in time and follow the changes wacko.gif

I've been looking at the scale generator to work out where the thirds come from, it appears that it is the third note in the scale working from the name of the chord. So D's third is F# (1D, 2E, 3F#). it's just working it all out. I guess I've messed myself up over the years just knowing the 1, 4, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 4, 1, 4, pentatonic shape. That's why I'm saying I can't see me getting anything done for Saturday, I don't have a mental map of where to go, my head is spinning with going back and forth between the different keys in the scale generator, I'm getting that feeling of needing to run away blink.gif blink.gif blink.gifI'm actually getting stressed trying to work something out, my stomach is like a washing machine.

Cheers

Phil

The first thing that I recommend you is to don't think that music is so difficult. You can still play over this one using Pentatonic and you'll find cool things.

About thirds, you don't need a lot of knowledge to identify the thirds of this collab chords. You only need to know which are these notes and play them as an starting point. Don't worry about the collab, or dealine, try it because it will be a very nice exercise, and it's totally related to what we are working at the mentoring program.


Let's take the second part:

Chord Progression: Dm | F | Am | G || x3 F | F | E | E ||


These are the thirds of each chord:

Dm : F

F : A

Am: C

G: B

E: Ab


That's everything you need to know to follow those chords with thirds. Let me know what happens!


Posted by: Phil66 Feb 28 2019, 10:20 PM

Quick idea, I kinda get lost with the chords. Is it Dm and F in the first bar, Am and G in the second bar, E and Dm in the third bar, F and Am in fourth bar. ie: total of five chords, two chords per bar so when you get to the fifth chord (E) in the first half of bar three, you have the first chord (Dm) in the second half of bar three? Sorry for my crazy brain wacko.gif

https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/idea-1

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 28 2019, 11:35 PM

The first 4 chords are perfect, but remember that those first chords are repeated 3 times, and then we have 2 meassures of F and 2 of E.

Chord Progression: Dm | F | Am | G || x3

F | F | E | E ||


Posted by: Phil66 Mar 1 2019, 08:53 AM

Thanks Gab,

So is it bars 1, 3 and 5 are Dm F (two chords per bar) and bars 2, 4 and 6 are Am G (two chords per bar)?

This is completely new territory for me, its daunting to be honest, I'll get there slowly but surely.

Cheers


Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Mar 1 2019, 07:04 PM

This is the whole progression:


Dm | F | Am | G | Dm | F | Am | G | Dm | F | Am | G |F | F | E | E ||


Posted by: Adam M Mar 1 2019, 08:22 PM

I did two takes. I tried the third one and I have an interesting idea but I won't be able to record it today or tomorrow but I think these two are enough. I'll send the audio files later via PM.





PS. I tried to record my parts in a way you can create some nice transitions into others' takes. I hope that works fine smile.gif

Posted by: Phil66 Mar 1 2019, 08:37 PM

How about this? If you don't get time to answer, I'll post a video and tracks anyway, if you don't use it, no worries.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Mar 1 2019, 10:24 PM

Hey Phil,

May I suggest a little "trick" to spice things up? I like your take a lot already and I can actually see myself adding some harmony to it!

You play the same melody twice in the beginning, but how about instead of playing it completely similar you spice it up just a tiny bit and then you go into the faster picked part you already play? smile.gif

I played around with your take a little bit in Guitar Pro just now to show you my thinking:

I can also go from what you played already smile.gif

Here are two takes, and to be honest, yours sound just fine too smile.gif

Posted by: Phil66 Mar 2 2019, 10:05 PM

Here is a slightly modified version, I didn't want to change it too much because Ben based his takes on my original. I hope it's usable. What I would like to have done was to have a bit of crunch on the last two bars and maybe play double stops but today is the deadline.

Hi guys i've not been on GMC in a few weeks and popped on tonight to see a new collab, lol with today being the DEADLINE smile.gif

I've roughly done the three takes in about a hour so apologies if there not amazing, think I've done pretty well this time.

It was fun but also a nice challenge. Is there anything that needs improving? If so, please let me know in the mentoring thread. I was also wondering about two things (both concerning 3rd part), I'll talk about it more in the thread.

I tried recording it for a while today but I keep butchering it. I have an idea I'd love to submit, though. Is there still some time left? I know the deadline was yesterday.

I need to submit some part of my thesis tomorrow and I should write a few more pages. If I take a break and do my takes right this time, I'll upload it! Also, I answered in the thread. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting but I wanted to do it properly smile.gif

Edit: I got the first track, there are 2 harmonies to be done but it'll have to wait til tomorrow. Could you check it in the mentoring thread and let me know if it's okay or if I should re-do it?

Posted by: Phil66 Mar 4 2019, 10:25 PM

Here is another go,

I changed my mind, on the last two bars I wanted to give a sense of going into something more powerful for the next part. Might need a volume adjustment though.

I need to submit some part of my thesis tomorrow and I should write a few more pages. If I take a break and do my takes right this time, I'll upload it! Also, I answered in the thread. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting but I wanted to do it properly smile.gif

Edit: I got the first track, there are 2 harmonies to be done but it'll have to wait til tomorrow. Could you check it in the mentoring thread and let me know if it's okay or if I should re-do it?



Hi mate! I've just checked your post at the mentoring program!

Here is another go,

I changed my mind, on the last two bars I wanted to give a sense of going into something more powerful for the next part. Might need a volume adjustment though.

It sounds great mate!! It's awesome to follow how you could improve your take from the first video to this one. Have you noted it? Now you can agree that the thirds idea is a good starting point!

Hey Gab!

Here is my take. Will send you the files via PM.

Cheers,
Dogukan.




Killers sweeps mate!! Thanks for your take!! Your playing is very precise and clean, congrats!

Thanks Gab,

I think I added fifths on the third round of chords, did a bit of research, hope I got it right unsure.gif

I guess this is my first venture into following chords, I can only improve from here wink.gif

I know it's past the deadline but I couldn't resist having a go. Bit too fast for me and it ain't the best but I had a go anyway. Not much time so as usual, I'm winging it.

Well done Phil!! Nice to see you rocking over this fast tempo backing and moving with the modulation. Everything sounds good here. I think that it would be a good exercise for you to continue jamming over this one.

Posted by: Phil66 Mar 6 2019, 01:42 PM

Thanks Gab,

This is the first collab that I've moved with the modulation, makes it trickier. I guess the ultimate aim, maybe I'm wrong, is that thing where guitarists change key without running up and down the neck but that's a long way off yet.

I think I started each section with thirds too, fingers crossed huh.gif smile.gif

I sent you PM with the files. I did the last part just now and I'll update the post once it's on YouTube. If I was too late, let's just consider this an exercise smile.gif It was my fault.

I used here 2 of my previous ideas and like before, I started the same and improvised from there. I gave up on harmonies because it's too time consuming and I should study for the exam more.

Hello friends!!! This is the final video for the collab!!

I've worked hard to choose the stronger parts of each participant. There were some moments that had some pitch and/or scale issues. However I'm very happy with the final version,

I hope that you like it!!



Posted by: Beat Zbinden Mar 11 2019, 04:48 PM

Great Gabriel. I like it!
All have made a good job!!!

Posted by: Phil66 Mar 11 2019, 04:49 PM

Brilliant Gab,

Glad you managed to find us for both of my parts smile.gif

Well done everyone, these things are what it's all about, makin music and Gab does an awesome job making even the weaker players like myself, fit in and sound a real part of the piece.

Thanks everyone and Gab in particular, inspiring smile.gif

I am totally blown away by the ever increasing level of musicality in our collabs. I am extremely proud to publish this on the GMC frontpage. You have outdone yourself cool.gif cool.gif cool.gif Listening again now!

Posted by: Phil66 Mar 11 2019, 08:58 PM

Just watched again, it's all brilliant but Ben blew me away with his part immediately after mine in the mayhem part towards the end. Ben you should be on stage buddy.

Thanks Gab, these things keep me going, keep me trying, keep me working towards improving myself smile.gif

AMAZING!!! Great job everyone and killer job per usual putting this together. It had to be hard to make it all work as a cogent piece of music. Very well done. The harmony bit was very cool as well!!
