If not no biggie , just thought I would throw it out there. [attachment=29698:Dark_Matter_Sirens.mp3] You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Blacker_than_Black_Collab_Final_Mix.mp3 ( 8.71MB ) Number of downloads: 172 And here is the horrible cast in this dark and terrible tale, order of appearance : Slavenko Dieter Todd WeePee Llibach Bleez Patrik Grace DeGroot Saddlefall Gitarrero Hungry Ninjastorm Opetholic AK Rich I've kept everything rough and necro in the spirit of true black metal... I'm surprised at 2 things: 1. How surprisingly listenable this is considering it's basically a 5 min long series of evil solos over a repeating riff !! 2. How many of you guys got involved.... it's great ! Hope you like it ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The ultra noisy tone adds authenticity Love those descending hammer-ons too.. they give an atonal feel which helps create a dark and unsettling vibe. Dieter - Love the semi-tones at the beginning. It's like the 'Jaws' theme ! WeePee - Great intro to this solo - the tremelo picked 5th works so well. And that Friedman bend.. nice work !! Llibach - More good use of alternate picking single notes. A gret trick over these super fast backing. Another good thing is using it as a powerful 'entrance' before slightly changing gear in the second half and pacing the phrasing differently. Nice.. all because of a waterfall somewhere in Wales ! Bleez - What can I say about this excellent solo ? Those phrases make me think of a woman screaming and running away from spiders and the spiders just keep coming, crawling at a worryingly fast speed.... Genius ! Patrik - Brilliant pacing of the phrases and wicked use of harmonies.. just the kind of thing that works over this. And that whammy bar dive as the riff changes is just perfect !! Grace - Love this one too.. very creepy. Reminds me of an Egyptian tomb !! Also another great use of harmonies. Are we turning Grace into something evil ??? DeGroot - I swear you recorded this in a Norwegian graveyard !! Perfect ! Those chiming semi distorted chords are like demonic bells clanging at midnight ! Saddlefall - This is what it would sound like if Eddie Van Halen were born in Norway, not Holland ! Love it... very fiery with those taps, and bluesy bends. Is I said before, I like that bright tone, it just cuts through like a knife. A knife in the hands of an evil murderer. Gitarrero - I think you found the same graveyard as DeGroot ! Icy tremelo pickied arpeggios are the kind of thing BM is made of.. great work from the Teutonic Titan ! Hungry - This is like a load of evil imps dancing around a fire.. a jaunty and quirky take.. it works really well. It ascends up and up like someone slowly being driven mad !! Ninjastorm - Congrats on your first collab ! This is a well measured take with good timing. AFter the insanity of all the previous takes this brings a level of normality back to things with the bluesy unison bends ! Well... almost normal.. we wouldn't want full normal would we ?? Opetholic - Those tremelo picked notes appear again.. they're proving popular with you guys and for good reason - they work ! I like the way you take it up the neck with those sextuplets ascending in semitones. A very good, Kirk Hammett style trick ! Nice one AK Rich - And to close off the madness with perhaps the maddest take yet - The Alaskan evokes the air raid sirens of WWII and reigns down a Blitzkrieg of guitar death on our ears. A perfect end to a perfect collab ! Now, if you wonder where I am.. you'll find me at the local asylum in a padded cell !! Seriously, though.... this was an unexpected thing. Wasn't expecting it to be this popular at all.. it turned out really fun. I think that's why it works, because we don't take it seriously so we can just go at it like a hammer !!
