Hi!

I'll be doing a new song from scratch in which I want to invite you to collaborate with a melody, solo or even a riff if you feel like it.

I HAVE ATTACHED THE ORIGINAL IDEA NOW

The style will definitely be rock/metal, the idea would sort of be like the instructors collab:



Where you can lay down your ideas over an original idea I start.

Your requirement is to be able to record audio AND video. After you have it (mp4 format preferred), just send it to me using yousendit, megaupload, or something like it...(any file sharing website would do)

So, are you up for it?

Musicians involved so far:

1. TylerT
2. Jitty
3. thefireball
4. Gitarrero
5. Fre
6. AslanMontaz
7. JamesT
8. maharzan
9. Ben Higgins
10. Todd Simpson
11. quadrium
12.


Deadline?: 27th february! send those solos or ideas!

Liking the idea, count me in!!

Ill probably contribute a solo and a lick!

I'm definitely in

I might take a shot at it once the song has a bit of structure so I know where to go with it.

Of course I'm in, great idea Daniel!
Christian

I'm interested!

Great guys! I'll give you the track soon so you can lay down your ideas!

nice!

Im on!

I'll give it a shot. Count me in!

I'll give it a shot. Count me in!

I can try!.

Is this open to instructors as well Daniel ? If so, I might try and ruin it with some bad licks ?

yes! awesome!


you are in man!


yes, you are welcome to try!


YES! it is open for instructors! it would be great to have your licks on it dude! oh this is gonna be good, I can already tell

Yeah this will be awesome!!

Oooooooooooh yeah ! I look forward to this ! I guess you'll let us know more soon about backing ideas etc..

So when I use YouSendIt...who do I send it to? I mean...what email? all that stuff....?

you can just drop me a PM with the link to the yousendit file,

Hey Daniel should i wait for your backing track or are we supposed to create ideas and send it ? kinda confused have waited for the backing track for awhile now

Tod here I'm up for it if there is still room!

No pressures man,

just give me a few days since I've been a bit busy, but yeah, I'm working on it, at least the original idea, you can add in stuff,

I'll post it


That'd be great!! there is room dude!

gahhhh im waiting and waiting i really wanna do this collab soon Daniel because i have been looking forward to it for a long while

Count me in if there is a room

All right dudes,

Here's the initial idea from which you can work on!



Many influences came out in this one, but I'll let you tell me first who do you think they are?

Ok,

- Intro riff is clearly in Bm. Using the pentatonic scale. 0:00-0:24

- Verse riff is chords VI - VII - i - VI - VII - V in F#, meaning:

D - E - F#m - D - E - C#. 0:24-0:47

- Back to intro 1, then verse 2

- Pre-chorus: C#sus4 - C#. 1:22-1:26

- Chorus: 1:26 - 2:03

A - E - D - E

A - E - D - C#
x2

- Solo section:

C# Phrygian dominant or F#m harmonic 2:03-2:28

B - A - B - D - F. 2:28-2:41

Eb Phrygian dominant or G#m harmonic 2:41-2:53

- Bridge: 2:53-3:13

D - E - C# x2

F#m - D - E - C#m - Bm - A - C#

- Back to chorus, then intro,

- Ending 4:12-end

B - E - D - G - Db - B

* Come up with your own ideas on top of any parts, it can be just one or many. I left one idea at 0:36, it was spontaneous so I just kept it.

Upload your video to yousendit and send me the link on a PM, and post both the naked guitar track and with the backing for the final mix!

Looking forward for it!

I'm really liking this Daniel, loads of lovely thick chuggy guitar and nice sweeping chords..!! Regards influences I'm not sure... maybe a bit of Children Of Bodom ?

thanks Ben!

yeah, I guess there's some COB in there as well,

Did you think of any ideas already?

im going to work with it tonight ! i will try to do my best

cool!!

Hey Daniel.Here is my take for the intro part.I've sent the video link via pm to you.Hope you like it

Dogukan,

An idea from Quadrium to send me your videos.

You may use youtube and upload as unlisted. Only people who know the link to the video can view it. So you can send me the link.

Thanx!




Thanks Dogukan! nice riff, I think we agreed on the rock n roll vibe to the track on that part! nice one!

No problem Glad you liked my riff Daniel

Great track I did some chop at the very begining. Here is the track with background and without. Killer collab Adrian!

Here is the solo only with no backing.

Man - what a cool backing Daniel! I can tell the youtube video is going to get a lot of attention - we will if of course promote it as much as possible.

Can't wait to hear how this one will sound

Wow, you guys move fast ! I'll have some naughty licks for you soon !!

Here are my first ideas !

You may or may not want to use all of it.. or even any of it ! Most of it is at and near the beginning.. and another bit at around 2:52.

This one should be with the backing:

Just the guitars:

I had another idea.. there's a point in the song where the guitars play a savage riff on their own, one on the left then one on the right.. When the rest of the instruments kick in at 2:16 I think we should start a solo trade off section Megadeth style !

Eg. For the first chord progression, Daniel does a solo, when the chords and drums shift somebody else does a solo etc

Another thing, why do we never see Mr Guitar Tube on these collabs, seeing how he's so awesome ?

Shhh Ben, don´t encourage him

Cool licks Todd!! I'm awaiting for your video then. If you can upload it to megaupload or something similar and give me the link that'd be better,




Nice melodic idea, fits pretty good on that verse!

Yes! solo trade off section would be killer! so if anyone wants to do a solo on the riffs starting at 2:16, we can spin that section around some times,

Feel free to send ideas on any part though,

Looking good!

Let's set a deadline? how about February 27th?


Thanks Kris!

I heard you've personally met Mr GuitarTube...talk him into doing it man, that'd be superb

Excellent ! I'll record a solo... I'll take the 2nd chord change if that's cool ?

Feb 27th is fine by me. It's the day after my birthday.. so hopefully I'll be wiser by then !



Haha.... he's always lurking behind the scenes just waiting for one of us to mention him !!

Great! looking forward for it!

I'll see what i can do.

I'll go create an account and upload the vid This collab is gonna be kiiiiilllllleeeerrrrrrr

Holy *&#% man, this is an unreal track!!! Im starting my take now!!!

Hey Daniel, here is my take for the solo.. it begins at 2:28. Hope you like it !

I've encoded it as an mp4 video file and it's attached to this post as well. Let me know if you want another format it's under 10 Meg so not to big. Its just the start of the song. Which was killer BTW well done!

Todd

holy mother of....!! freaking great solo! really loved it!

I'll wait for your video then Thanks!


nice video! it's great! man, this is going to be cool, I can already tell,




Thanks TylerT! I'm glad you liked it! It's great to have you!

Hehehe.. it was a bit naughty wasn't it ??? I thought I'd dig out the old Wah and get it involved !! Glad you like it.. I'm really looking forward to hearing what madness you and everyone else put with it !

I misnamed the file Sorry about that. I"m glad you like the vid I can't wait to see how it all turns out.

heheh that's all right, no worries,

I'm very excited with takes received so far! You surely put a smile on my face!

I did the solo starting at 2:16, Ben did the solo at 2:28,

So if someone wants to grab the solo starting at 2:41, that'd be superb. I must admit Ben's solo is SICK! but you don't have to be shredding all over on the solo following him. Maybe a nice contrasted slow, bendy solo would really stand out there! (after the madness)

Also if someone wants to try out a part at 1:26 (Chorus section) that'd be great so that we have all parts of the song covered. But feel free to do any part you'd like really, these are only suggestions.

I just can't compose a solo.

You most definitely can... we've all heard you do it ! It doesn't have to be over the fast bits... I think there's still quite a bit of backing track that needs more guitar parts yet, isn't that right Daniel ?
