Chorus: 1:00 - 1:14 F# minor

Minor, Minor Pentatonic, Dorian will work best over most of this ! You have until Thursday 23rd Feb to submit your takes. Please supply me with video files (not silent otherwise I can't place them with the audio), audio takes with backing and without backing !

Tempo is 130bpm

Enjoy !!

BINGO! or BINGFREAKINGGO MAN! As one might say It's all there, the pinch harmonics, gallop rythm, killer runs, harmony bits, everything! In short possibly the best backing I may have heard simply EVER. Just wow. Who could say no to this?

Needless to say, I"ll going nuts burning my fingers to stubs working out cool bits to play over this. WOOOOOOOOFREAKINGHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Man, this is mental! Should be called Heavily Mental Collab.

I will be rather busy the next few weeks, but I REALLY don't want to miss this one.

H4H

Hehehe, as soon as I wrote it I just knew this track was made for Todd Simpson ! \m/ \m/



'Busy' means 'busy playing guitar for Ben's Bushido course and his collab !'

My oh my... this is fantastic!

One day I'll be good enough for this, as for now I'll have to spectate, I can't wait to see the finished piece

Wou! This backing is amazing Ben! I will give this one a try!!

Master strikes again Fantastic track.. I will definitely try something

Glad to have you aboard guys !

I forgot to add.. Tempo is 130bpm !

Ha, way too difficult for me...all these changes from D to F# and stuff...
Although...I know a nice riff in F#...
I'm in!

You can't play the opening riff to Crazy Train again !

i also want to join but there is something that i dont understand. Is there any difference than other collabs because that backing track is "a bit" longer than others

I just wrote a longer track that was more of a proper 'song' structure. There's no difference though

Watch me!

How about Miracle Man ? (the original recordng is F# I think)

well,I just got my wife a HD camera,if I can figure it out in time ,maybe I could insert a little Miracle man( did that sound gross to anyone else)

There needs to be a "Ben VS. Todd: Shred Battle!!" collab. Just sayin'....

Haha, well we know Todd would win already so...

Ben, can we send you separate video files for separate sections? I'm really not able to play a quality solo for almost 4 minutes!

Oh Man, I should have made it clear.. you don't have to solo over the whole song. If you did, then there wouldn't be enough space to include everybody !

But yes, feel free to play over several sections and sens a video per section.

OK, I'm an idiot.
Anyway what I meant was if we provide you with more "meat", you'll have more to choose from.
I know you'll won't make a 20 minute collab

Thanks for the info, it's clear now

No worries D-Man !!

Today is my last chance to do something before Thursday, so here goes.



Umm, why not??

Oh hell yeah !! Super kick ass !! Thanks H !

Just sent the files from dropbox sensei

And I have downloaded them, young warrior... great take !!!

Hi guys, here is my take. I was not going to do this because I'm a bit busy this month, but I was inspired when I saw Hungry for Heaven's take 2 days ago and I just had to make this up in a hurry so it has some rough edges but anyway here it is.

Here is a preview of my take with backing Starts about 1:25 in to the song.

Here it is without the backing for the mix. I'm startin to play about 1:25 but but I left the start up until that empty. It should slide in to a timeline and match up perfectly. Hopefully

Now For Video!

Kick ass Stuff Amir.. it's great to have you onbard ! Love the metal fist at the end



O.M.F.G. There goes the neighbourhood !!

Gilberto would be proud !

Todd's takes are the octane that we need in our veins to fire us up to record our own butt kicking takes

Thanks man! Means a lot coming from the Sensei himself! My video render is taking FOREVER! I put up a preview but the final is still cooking argghhh!

Can I shoot it to you Friday via drop box?

Yeah, rendering can take a dog's age !

Well, today is Friday so yeah that's good for me !

Have you been up all night again Mr Simpson, shredding away the small hours ???

Actually yes I really spent the evening and then all night til nearly dawn working out my take and before I knew it was nearly dawn and I had just started the final render of the vid.

But it looks like it's finally done cooking!

If there was ever a great reason to play on through the night, it's certainly to be part of this AWESOME collab!

P.S. I was hoping to use again in an upcoming lesson so teach some of these chops if that's ok

Todd

Haha, that's the spirit ! No time is out of bounds when it comes to shredding

Of course you can use it, you can use any of my backings any time, no need to ask

Sorry for the multi post!

Todd

Hi Guys, I've been busy with editing GMC future lessons (can't wait for you to see 'em !) and I'm now able to turn my attention to the collab !

Could you help me out with just giving me a very quick recap of who has sent me files and who hasn't ?

I know I've got files from Todd & Quadrium..

It's hard to keep track sometimes so if you haven't sent them yet, please send them when you get the time. If you have sent them, just put up a quick note to say so

Thanks guys

Hi, Ben. I haven't sent any files yet. Thing is, I have three separate videos, and I need to re-edit them before I send them. Since I'm lazy, I was thinking you could tell me in advance which parts you want to use, so I only have to re-edit the corresponding files. Thank you!

H4H

Hey H, just send me exactly what you uploaded in the thread. Also, you can send me the audio files all in one track too as I will use the harmonies you've recorded

I went straight to the camera's microphone, I don't have any other recording options at the moment, so sorry for any inconvenience it may cause.

Hi Amir,

Unfortunately I won't be able to use your take if I don't have a seperate audio file, because I need to mix everyone's naked guitar tracks with the backing track in Cubase

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go !!!



Excellent playing from everyone involved - I really enjoyed putting this one together !

I'm really sorry I couldn't use your video take Amir, hopefully you'll be on the next one too

Waaay! Really cool B/W editing, too.

I commented already in youtube but you guys are awesome !!

No worries mate...I'm glad my enthusiasm came across somehow and I enjoyed going this.

Awesome guys!

Hah, awesome playing, guys

Thanks everyone, glad you liked it.. the guys did a great job !
