Greetings, guitar users and abusers !! Welcome to my latest collab and yes, it's a VIDEO Collab !!!
Gitarrero will be soiling himself in excitement at that !!  I've nicked a sinister sounding backing track from a previous lesson and resurrected it like a heavy metal Dracula into the Demon Slayer Collab ! Here be the backing track: 
Demon_Slayer_Collab.mp3 ( 1000.78K )
Number of downloads: 227(following info is from the Tritone Terror lesson..) Just 2 chords - Em and A#6/-5 (-5 means flattened 5th). The second chord is built from A#, which is a Tritone in relation to E. However, it's quite interesting that the rhythm guitar only plays the note of A#, so how did I get that chord name ? Well, the keyboard plays two chords.. Em and Edim. The combination of the the Edim chord (E, G, A#) and the A# on the guitar and the bass mean that the root note is really the A#, hence the chord name. For the solo, I decided to mainly use the E Pentatonic Minor and add the occasional flattened 5th. You could, however, use the Edim or A#dim scale over the A#6/-5 chord as they share the same notes. (also known as the whole tone-half tone scale) So, over the Em part you could go the traditional route and play Em or EM pentatonic or you could experiment with some other E derived modes.. Phrygian dominant, try chucking a major 3rd in there as well as a flat 5th for that Geroge Lynch sound.. And for the A#6/-5 you could stick to Em Pentatonic with a flat 5th or you can use E diminished or A# diminished scales  Please remember that I will need both video and separately recorded audio from you so I can mix it in ! I recommend to upload audio (preferably mp3 of you can as it's smaller) mp3, wav etc to the thread.. and include a download link to the video footage in a pm. Deadline for the collab will be Saturday 28th July !! Let's slay some Demons !!  |

I know you said you were going to give me the worst take this month but I'm hoping the backing track will tempt you to do otherwise....

Haha, I thought so! That's what I love about the british people, they are always so nice. One day, when I'm grown up, I think I wanna live in the UK
Now I will practice for the real take Hope that demon will leave me alone this time.

Right, and probably the better beer (considering the fact that I don't like that certain brand you are endorsed by...
)When I'm comparing chicks in the UK and Germany...hm...it's a draw. Better move to California for hot chicks What was this topic about in the first place?

This is my idea, what do you think.
Are the notes and scales ok? I sometimes put some notes together, that not all people think go together! I'll do a better take and an mp3 before deadline! --------------------  |
