The backing track is provided by none other than our own Guido - and it's a carefully arranged up tempo rock groove with a genuine 80s rock feel.
This is the perfect opportunity for you to jam with the pentatonic scale, and apply some of the new tricks and techniques you have learned at GMC.
Working with collabs give you the type of input you cannot achieve when practicing on your own - so even if you feel shy about this, you should give it a serious try. You will improve in unpredictable ways.

BACKING TRACK: Click to view attachment
This collab is based on Guido's 80s Rock Rhythm lesson.
Tempo : 160 BPM
Key : G minor
-------------------------------------------
Here's everything you need to know about how to enter this collaboration:
1. Download the backing track and open it in your recording software
2. Record your part in the recording software and with your video cam (if you have the possibility to record video).
You can record anything - a short fill part, rhythm based ideas, or a full lead part (solo).
3. Render one track containing your recording only - 16 bit wave file 44,1 kHz
4. Render one track containing both solo and backing track in an .mp3 format
5. Send us your video (preferably in .mp4 format)
As always, you can send us the last 3 files mentioned, using a dropbox link, or any other transfer service you are used to, by posting them in this thread or attaching them to a private message.
If you can't submit a video, you can send us only the audio files and some pictures of you - it will work out great as well!
The more pictures you send, the better will it be for editing in the final video!
When attaching/sending the collab files, please include the source file of the video as well.
Very important: IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER/ ADVANCED/ PRO/ GOD - all styles, approaches and all levels are welcome and you can even play just a short fill if you feel like it!
Bringing your contribution to this track and tribute to the GMC community is what really matters!

Collab tips:
As in the previous collabs, we want this one to stand out as much as possible, because this will give your playing and progress maximum exposure. So here's what we suggest:
Making short but polished and detailed lines will always give you better results! If you focus on a short part of the backing track, then you will most likely amaze yourself and others! No explicit need to play over the full backing track length, pick any amount of bars you feel most comfortable playing over. It is always better to come up with something short but catchy or memorable!
