Theme Song - You've Got 2 Weeks!

cain

on GMC they actually had something similarity, one guy did the main riff and the rest each played a mini solo ?

NorioDS

I'm all for that -- as long as someone else (looks at Alan) is doing the editing ?

NorioDS

I'd actually like to see both being done -- the collaboration and a complete song from whoever feels like recording one.

It would be great to get into a community that records itself a lot and experiments with new ideas.

Perhaps future competitions can be based around the best bluez, jazz, metal, funk, etc recordings.

I'm quite busy, but could do the editing if necessary.

andrewjbryson

Ok , my track is done, where can email it too? or do you want it on a URL (myspace or sumfin)

NorioDS

Andrew, post a URL for us please ?

YouTube videos of yourself playing the tjoon are welcome too!

Alan -- hehehehe! I'm sure we can find another keen player/recording whizz -- you focus on that book! We're waiting with baited breath ;D

NorioDS

Awesome stuff Andrew!

OK I had another brain-wave but I'm not sure if it will work...

If I register us a MySpace account and load the contributions, can I then put that player on the site somehow? Do they allow that sort of thing?

Would be great to have that and sort of "showcase" our best recordings, individually and as a community.

Thoughts?

andrewjbryson

there should be a way to incorporate flash player 9 (the player thingy ) so that you can use it
through another url or home page ......

francis , to answer your question , i used a sldn (soldano pre amp) on my GT8 (doubled up )

on the fan. no 1 track...

Renesongs

Yeah Norio, It would be usefull if we had a place on the the site to upload our stuff to does your site host offer an FTP (file upload area) facility by any chance?

NorioDS

Hey Rene ?

I'm afraid I can't offer uploads yet. Perhaps when the forum is making a little bit of money I can get an overseas hosting account for everyone to upload to but, for now, we have to stick to stuff like YouTube, etc, coz I just won't be able to pay for it otherwise.

OK, looks like no one's going to do the initial backtrack, so let's use one of these. Pick your favourite:

AlanRatcliffe

Hmm...

OK. How about this as a backing track?

It's a quick thing, so please excuse the bass playing/guitar playing/mix. I can upload a wav file version too for those that want to import into their recording soft/hardware of choice.

Good enough?

Hi guys sorry for the delay I've been having issues with MySpace eventually I founf a place called Box.net that would host my music for sharing, anyway here is a link to a 24 bar blues backtrack in Am that is loopable and 24 bars of me soloing to it

Backtrack = http://www.box.net/shared/v2yty9cdck

My Solo = http://www.box.net/shared/lnhkf6ygwg

OK. I hope I'm still in time for the 2 weeks deadline. Guess what I've spent doing my Saturday (yesterday) ???

I tried a little theme around the South Africa Guitar Forum idea and just worked from there on-wards.

Another great piece of shredding! Some great tones you achieved. Well done!

Aah cool idea, that kinda inspired me, as a bassist I felt I should contribute to the backing tracks but didn't know what to do so I spent a loopy few hours at 110bpm with these chords.
The drums are cool, the bass is split on the beat though the playing is slightly off the beat so it pretty much loops ok with the shuffle pattern use it or not as you wish.

I'm sure others can do more justice to the "solo" by all means go for it ... pm me for a wav or TAB.

OK. No-one liked my backing track ☹

So here's my entry:

Not so much a raging solo as much as a dense wall of guitars. Rough mix, but I don't have time at the mo to do it properly.
