I thought it would be cool for there to be a lesson posted, with the tabs and backing track, but not to hear the instructor play it. Then, we could all come up with our own tones for it, and post videos. I'll bet people would come up with totally different ideas of what it should sound like, and maybe even pick a winner. What do you think?

Really interesting idea. It doesn't have to be in form of competition - maybe a forum game/challenge?
Someone could pick the random lesson from archive (older one for example) and just post the tab and backing not saying what is the name of the lesson and letting other members come up with their arrangement

Great idea
If everyone makes a video for it as well, I can cut them together and we can make a collab video out of it

That would be great! Any instructor want to take on this challenge and get it going?

I like the idea! Who should pick the backing and tab from the archive?

i LOVE it, would love to see different versions of my lessons, im sure every instructor would agree
Praetorian
Jul 21 2011, 06:11 PM
I think it should be a new lesson however. One in which nobody has heard what the instructor had in mind when he tabbed it, and made his tone! That way, all the performances would be completely original!
Please don't make it too hard though! Level 4 or lower I request!

Ahh i got it now
! yeah it doesn't make much sense with a previous version already recorded, i could create a new lesson specially for this, but i dont know if my style fits what people wants
Praetorian
Jul 21 2011, 06:28 PM
For the experimental run, I think any style would work! I think that picked notes instead of strummed chords would have the best chance of different interpretation though.

Very interesting idea ! Yeah, I think a rock solo of some description would work

should we make a poll or something?

Actually, I think for the first one we shouldn't do a competition. It might scare some people away who otherwise may willing to give it a shot. Maybe just a collaboration and we could all just enjoy the different interpretations?
What do you guys think?
Adrian Figallo
Jul 22 2011, 05:43 PM
lets not make a competition, in fact i dont think you can compete doing art.. or in something so subjective like music, let's just have fun, im thinking about making the tab without showing the bends or vibratos so its even more free style.
i ment a poll to decide the style/feel of the song.

kinda slow rock version, but with good beat to it, would be nice. Adrian you're expert in this, can we hear some fat rhythm that we can use?
I think it would be awesome if we had one topic dedicated to this, with all the takes, and later on we can comment on it!
What do you guys think? Adrian my man?
Gitarrero
Jul 22 2011, 08:21 PM
Slow rock sounds cool, I think it gives us more choices when it comes to tone, you can try clean, crunchy or distorted with all sorts of effects...so let's not discuss anymore, get to work Adrian
Adrian Figallo
Jul 22 2011, 08:24 PM
i will work on this this next days for sure, a juicy rock/bluesy beat should do it

Very cool! This is a great idea
Putting everyones takes together could make some very spiff results!
What about the Backing? Drum track, Bass track, etc.?
ADRIAN: Are you or Ben going to produce a Drum/Bass backing for folks to interpret the Tab/main riff over?

NICE! Is it an SS? I can't tell much from the icon. Going blind from too much practice
Is that you at the track/strip? Looks like you are about to torque the frame! A fine start. What will it do in the standing quarter?
I drive an ancient Caddy which I found with a NorthStar engine in it. I"ve been a fan of V8's ever since. The caddy only takes premium so it's a bit of a pig on Gas.

the track is done and sounding awesome guys, it's a pretty western/rock/blues track and i love the guitar solo on it.
i gotta tab it now, and it will be pretty hard
then GMC has the last word on when its going to be published, but im glad this idea is working!

I do think it's going to be a friendly competition, but im not sure to be honest.
What difficulty level are you giving it?
Well almost all my lessons are easy to play, this one is like a 3? maybe a 4, but has some smalls details that could be hard to perform, you gotta wait and listen
I'm very proud of my own tone for the lesson, so i CAN'T WAIT to hear yours guys, this is a brilliant idea, specially for a tone freak like me.

Me too. I think it will be fun. Plus it will be really interesting to hear everyones interpretation of the tabs before they have heard the original. I'll bet the phrasing will be different on every take. It would be cool to also have a final mix kind of like a collab just to hear them all at once for comparison.

I totally agree! I think people will vibrato, and bend notes in completely different places!
