Hi guys,

I have been taking a break from my practicing recently. That can be a very good thing - provided I pick the guitar up again!
Today I felt like playing again - and I hope you will join me ❤️

I wanted to play over a simple groove, and basically just jam away with my absolute favorite scale - the pentatonic:



Here is what I suggest you do:

* Record yourself playing over the short version (you can use the JAM version for practicing)
* Upload two audio files, one with your isolated guitar track and one where we can hear the backing track as well
* No video needed, the final product will be a audio only

The idea is that I will be recording responses to your takes, but the collab is open for anyone to record a response to anybody - so no strict rules! First come, first served!

Key: C minor
Tempo: 110 bpm

GREAT!! I'm already jamming over this backing. It's very addictive!!

I'm in!!!

Awesome Gab, can’t wait to hear your take!!

Of course, we will join! I'm in!

Awesome Piotr, I was hoping you would chime in! Any idea of what you will do over it? 😁

I'll try and record something too

Awesome Ben, cant wait to see what you will do with it 😊👍

My first try. Funky backing, thanks Kris. Sorry about the boomy bass at the beginning

Amazing Phil, not only have you developed massive melodic chops - but here your funkiness is on full display!!

Now my fingers are itching to get recording , such a nice feeling 😊👌

AWESOME !!! COUNT ME IN!!!! This Time I won't pull a "keyboard part" thingy

Todd

Hehe Todd, you may if you want though 😁

Here is my response to Phil.

I also threw in two empty rounds afterwards in case two people want to make a quick response to this! Just download and record your take, then upload for the next person! 😁

That's some of the tastiest playing I've heard you do Kris. It inspired me to respond to you, I hope that's okay.

First file is guitar only, second is your take followed by mine and fourth is all three so far. I've left a couple of rounds at the end.

Here's something, let me know if it works

That's great Ben but I don't think you've posted it in the right thread

What do you mean? Isn't this the collab thread?

Awesome Ben - sounding amazing + you left some extra space for the next person after you!

My fingers are itching again!!



Yeah!! Very nice development of the idea Phil!!

Sorry buddy, the morning after and I've realised I clicked the soundcloud in your sig.



Glad you like it Kris

No worries, Phil. It is a rather big Soundcloud embed after all

Here is my response to Cael along wiht two new empty rounds - hoping someone will pick it up from here! 😊

We have now ventured off into distortion land, but I don't mind if come back to clean.

Awesome response, Kris!

I blame the Guinness great playing by the way

Same to you guys - it is sounding amazing 👌👌

I promise to behave!


Todd

Liking this a lot!!! Will defo post something later this week!!!

Awesome bro, it's been a while since we collabed! 👊




I bet you won't 😅

Indeed! It has been too long!!!

Here is mine and your response is...?

If anyone is interested in video I’ve uploaded the video of my takes on my Instagram account .

Wow two more takes - can't wait to get recording!!! 😁



Awesome Piotr - this makes me want to get into a groovy mood again. Can't wait to record my response! 👌👌



Awesome bro, sounding better than ever - can't wait to get recording!!

I"m using my single coil pickup on this one with a good bit of slap back which I've been playing with lately. It's a hardware patch done on my Ampero played live which is rare for me these days as I mostly use Overloud so I can change the patch later in the mix. Not this time!

I used to be a big fan of sound cloud. These days, it's running $16 a month and I keep hearing that it's about to go down the drain at any time so I killed my pro subscription package. Usually I"ll just make a video and put it on youtube when doing music..Most folks discover music through youtube. This wasn't always the case but it is now. To wit..

I hope the FX are not too over the top

Todd


It's great to see you jumping in to things like this PHIL!!!!! I am thrilled to see you playing on tracks. Every time you try one, it's better than the previous. The only way to get good at playing solos is to "play through the suck". Every player has to go through it. That period of just not liking what you are able to play. I think you've earned your wings here Phil and I certainly like what you are coming up with I hope you do to!
Todd

Here is my response to Piotr and Onetab!

@onetab I chose your first take as that felt like the most strong sounding one!

Really digging the direction this is taking!! 👌



Todd I need a slightly different file from you:

* check for audio clipping, this one has some nasty ones

* skip all time based effects preferably

* start the file from the beat 1

Thanks Todd,

I prefer my second take though https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=774843

Cheers

Phil

I do like that one better! I like em both though



My bad! I'll have another go. BTW I just saw an email you apparently sent me several days ago about our recent talks on topics/postings. I apologize for the delay, just sent a reply.

Todd

No problem Todd, looking forward to your take!

My latest lesson is based on this backing!

Sorry for my delayed response but I've been having some PC issues whilst recording.
Seems to be working OK again now. I'll get something posted tomorrow!!

Awesome Sensible - looking forward to it! 😁

Very cool Sensible - and I sense some sweeping progress here?!

Looking forward to recording my response!

Thanks Kris! Yeah a small sweep indeed, I've been working on it for a short time. I've found that ascending sweeps are easier than descending so now I know what to work on!!

Interesting! For me it's the opposite: I have always struggled with ascending. I find with descending that my left hand does half of the work with hammer-ons from nowhere - however that is much trickier with ascending patterns.

That is interesting and I see what you mean using the Hammer-ons. I think my reason for preferring the ascending is that when I was first learning scales I tended to always play them ascending more than descending, so my hand seems to feel more comfortable with movements from the Index finger to the Pinky rather than Pinky to Index.

The guitar-only track contains the backing as well, could you export again?

My response to Gab's take! 👌
