GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Epic Pop Collab

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Apr 7 2017, 02:39 PM

Hello friends! Welcome to a new GMC collaboration!

This time I'll use the backing of my Ed Sheeran lesson which is an epic pop acoustic ballad that could become a killer song with the help of you. We could make this one with vocals or instrumental, it depends on the material that I receive here. Everything is welcome.

There are only two requisites: try to make simple and tasty stuff for this one. smile.gif

This is the backing track:  Epic_Pop_Collab___GuitarMasterClass.net.mp3 ( 3.75MB ) : 528


Tempo: 105 bpm


The chord progression is:

Intro: E - B - C#m - A

Verse: E - B - C#m - A

Pre-chorus: F#m - E/G# - A

Chorus: E - B - C#m - A


The scale suggested is E major, or E Pentatonic Major.

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator


IF YOU NEED HELP LET ME KNOW! I'M HERE TO GUIDE YOU.


IMPORTANT INFO About files required:

In order to make the things easier for compiling takes and mixing I need that each participant shares 3 files:

- Audio file with the mix of the backing and your guitar.
- Audio file only with your guitar (If possible this audio should have the same length than the mix version)
- Video of you playing the solo, and if it's not possible a picture. (Mp4 format if it's possible)

The best way to share this is compressing in a zip file to be downloaded from here or using sharing service as dropbox, wetransfer, and copying the link here.

If you decide to share your files using soundcloud please remember to "allow downloads".

Thanks!



DEADLINE: April 27 th



PS: Are you a new member? A GMC collaboration is based on a backing track over which you can add your playing (solos, arrangements, vocals, other instruments) and share it here. Then I'll mix everything to build a full song.



Who is in?? smile.gif


So this is the final work for this one:

Follow the chords. Start by finding the third of each chord and play them. Then slowly start connecting this thirds with other notes from the scale. That's a good trick. wink.gif

Posted by: Phil66 Apr 7 2017, 09:22 PM

I had a bit of a mess around. I haven't got my Atomic now and the Helix will be some days yet so I just pulled something out of my GT100.

The tone is not good for the piece but I've put an idea down for you to listen to. I thought about finding a better clean tone and then as the tension builds, adding some drive to it, but that's down the road.

Hi Phil! I really like this! In the case you don't get your Helix, could you please send me a direct guitar take, without any pedal or emulator? In this case I can assign one of my favorite plug ins to improve this tone. What do you think?

There you go Gab, this was a bit of ear training for me as I only knew what notes were first in each little piece. I think I went for thirds on the chord changes but I may be wrong G#, D#, F# and C#

Can you tell me what it is you like about it please?

I will try to evolve it some more, after that part the backing gets stronger so I was going to add a tiny little bit of drive and some bending phrases.

Thanks

Phil

Working a bit on the verse and pre-chorus, still very raw and I want to add some more stuff:

You have a very rich texture to your singing voice. Singing is something that genetics play a part in. Anyone can learn to sing, but unlike guitar, to some degree, your genes have a big impact on your vocal chords. of course, as a guitar player your genes could give you stubby fingers or spider fingers, so there's that smile.gif But some folks are born with better pipes. You sir have a nice set of pipes!! I would encourage you to keep exploring your singing technique!!

I made a small change with one more backing voice in there in the chorus:

I built an audio step by step.
I played a 1st phrasing, I listened to and I tried to build the continuation.

Ok Gab,

I've recorded a video just in case time doesn't allow any more, you know how my time is at the moment. I've also put the actual recording that was done for the video, same notes as the last one played slightly different (REC button syndrome wink.gif ) I also noticed afterwards that I had switched to single coil mode on the guitar. Maybe you could blend both takes wink.gif

Thanks Ben,

Mine would sound better but it is completely unprocessed guitar, Gab asked me to do that but I am going to try and find time to find a suitable tone through my GT100. wink.gif

I'm sure you could find something nice smile.gif

Posted by: MisterM Apr 10 2017, 08:43 AM

Hi

Nice job Phil

I think your setting string is to near of the nec.
I hear it especialy on G String.

I 'm on the way ?

Posted by: Phil66 Apr 10 2017, 12:09 PM

Thanks Mr M,

I think I may have been picking too hard because it was so clean, the G, being unwound was the one I probably picked harder than the others. The action isn't super low on that guitar.

Cheers for listening buddy wink.gif

I made a small change with one more backing voice in there in the chorus:




I love it Cael!! I think that your voice sounds very fresh over this backing. The chorus vocal job is awesome. It's really interesting how you arranged it with those harmonisation. I only note some pitch issues in the verses that could be easily fixed by me. Feel free to share this only audio, or take some more days to practice and share a new take. We have some more days to go...

For the guitarists, feel free to share solos but also to jam over Cael's version to submit guitar arrangements that work with the vocal lines.

Wow! Thanks, Gabriel smile.gif I wasn't sure if I had gone over the line by extending the backing in the way I did, but I felt it was easier to add more vocals and make it more of a song that way. Of course you should arrange it all in a way that you see fit, this was just one way I came up with smile.gif

Nice Job Phil

The tone is very good



I make a video for a new take.

I am not really satisfied
I mixed 2 tracks solo because it doesn't sound great
Also, I think that I can do better about dynamic on final section.
My bend to 00"33' is not on timing, I have to work again

When does collab end ?

Hey MisterM! I really like this one. Your tone and phrasing go really well with the backing. Take your time to polish those details and share the final take when you are happy with it.

DEADLINE: April 27 th

Posted by: GeneT95 Apr 16 2017, 10:57 PM

Moved recently. To little time to play. Getting the BandRoom running. Recording with some gear I haven't used in a while and mixing with pa full range speakers instead of headphones/monitors. Just some ideas and practice. I was so busy setting up the gear, I recorded on the fly without a pick. I find using a thumb and fingers makes me play in a certain way with respect to note groupings and such. And makes the note attack softer. I'll have to try another using a pick and see how it goes.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Apr 17 2017, 01:48 PM

Hi Gene, thanks for taking the time to record a solo for this one.

I think that the tone you are getting by using your left hand fingers is really warm and tasty. At the same time it sounds fresh and fits good with the backing track.

Feel free to share a new solo with pick, but this one sounds good! Remember to share the only guitar files.


Posted by: GeneT95 Apr 17 2017, 10:39 PM

I broke out Protools to check it out. I have an old version that the GUI doesn't exactly work right with the newer OS, but I figured I'd fool around with it rather than use Ableton. Played with a pick but really tried to make my attack sound the same. Anyway, the vibe isn't much different.

https://soundcloud.com/shallowlines/testinter

I downloaded the free Protools First and gave it another go for practice. I felt the guitar was a bit dark on the last take so I added a little post EQ and pushed the upper end a little. It's all in the same melodic idea as the last two but maybe a little more together perhaps. Dunno. Maybe not.

Gene, your take reminds me of Satch without sounding like copying him. Nice one wink.gif

Posted by: GeneT95 Apr 19 2017, 12:22 AM

I appreciate the comments. Thanks a lot. I meant to comment yesterday, but ran out of time fiddlin with Protools.

Mister M, your take is cool and smooth. Something I'll have to sit down and follow along to see how you connected the phrases to the underlying chords. I haven't completely listened to the vocals yet but your lines leave space to weave in and out of Cael's voice and add counterpoint.

Phil66. I meant to comment a while back somewhere else but didn't get around to it. I can hear a difference in your playing over the time I've been around. Keep it up. The practice is paying off.

Thanks bleez. Comments from a jammin dude like you always mean a lot.

Oops, one of the files was wrong, I think. So I just edited a link in my original post. I'll upload the vocal tracks in 5 minutes.

Here's a link to the vocals: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/usvy3nzu7l76bc3/AABWc1J4bqmGaS_HUCWs1t7Va?dl=0

Let me know if they're usable.




Thanks a lot mate! I'll check everything and be back if I need anything else.

Hopefully I'll join in for the next one.

Have you lost your mojo lately mate? You've kept a low profile lately. Your playing is just dandy. Come on get a last minute take in wink.gif

yeah, this entire month has just passed me by, not sure where my head has been! huh.gif
I'll chill over the weekend, regroup and press on. Probably time to change things up a bit practice wise.
cheers dude smile.gif

I find joining these collabs and workshops help me along when the normal practise becomes a bit of a grind. Gets the juices flowing.
Have a go at the connecting melodies one, 2 to 4 bars, just enough to keep it interesting when you're low on inspiration. I've put three takes in.
Keep going buddy. smile.gif

Hey friends! How are you?? I have a premix, could you please check it and tell me what you think?

 Epic_Pop_Pre_Mix.mp3 ( 4.86MB ) : 99

Posted by: GeneT95 May 3 2017, 01:03 AM

I like it. That mix is pretty cool. I think it all works well. The opening and continuance into the vocals is cool. The layering of parts melts together. And the almost acapella ending is spot on.

Only two suggestions.

1. Cut my first part after 1.34
2. Maybe play with backing a little at the end and decrease it's volume.

Otherwise I thinks its really cool.

Posted by: MisterM May 3 2017, 06:38 AM

Hi

It's great mix.
The GeneT95's guitar part is very tasteful
The voice is very good

The parts of bleez and phill could be slightly increased, no ?

Posted by: Caelumamittendum May 3 2017, 10:12 AM

Can't wait to hear it when I get home later.

Really interesting feedback guys! Thanks a lot. I'll definitely try this.

Gene, about this:

"Maybe play with backing a little at the end and decrease it's volume."

Do you refer to the section where Cael sings only over strings?

Posted by: GeneT95 May 4 2017, 06:35 PM

Yeah, with a brief listen, I thought the stings could be lower, but I'm note sure. I thought the Multi-Cael pedal sounded cool.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi May 5 2017, 03:23 AM

Thanks everybody for the feedback. I could fix everything except that there isn't a Bleez take for this one. (MisterM said to turn it up)

The video is on the way!

Here we go!!

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Wonderfull

Nice job Gab

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl May 5 2017, 07:21 PM

Sounds amazing blink.gif what a collab!! blink.gif blink.gif

Cael you totally blew me away with your vocal performance - will we be hearing more clean singing from you?

Both voices worked very well together!

Overall it seemed all performances were totally focused on creating a killer song, which you certainly did. Well done!

Posted by: GeneT95 May 5 2017, 10:08 PM

Fantastic. And loads of fun.

Great music all.

Posted by: Todd Simpson May 6 2017, 03:01 AM

Well Said! I liked it quite a bit. But I was most impressed with the vocals! I hope there are more with vocals in them smile.gif Who knew BEN was such a good singer!! nice!!

Todd

Brilliant, thanks everyone, great job Ben, and thanks again to Gab for putting together such a great video, nice one mate.

I've got to stop looking so miserable on my takes laugh.gif

Posted by: MisterM May 6 2017, 06:32 PM

Your take is very good Phil smile.gif

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi May 7 2017, 02:44 PM

I love how this one sounds. It's a really nice song. All the guitar submits are just perfect, and Cael's work is impressive. His singing as well as the melodies that he created are so beautiful. He keeps on impressing us with his talent.
