Collab! NEXT STEP

[Calvin Phillips]

Just to be sure that I'm not playing the wrong key, is this in A minor? Just A minor blues and then to an A minor rock style?

I personally need a full explanation in the chord progression and the key. If this is going to be something I'm putting 1000% effort in I need the correct information so I can make the right choice for what I want to add to it.

Totally can see it in a minor as it's simple blues. This also will help.me decide which guitar to use as well i case i have to retune.

Can our back track writer full in the gaps?

I think for the rock section it goes from C5 -> D5 -> A5 three times and then it does a C5 -> D5-> E5-> F5 ->D5 ->A5 Then F5 -> D5 -> A5, I'm assuming it's in C major just from the sound of it. I dunno, I could be wrong

Great work on keeping up with this students! Really can't wait to see the final results!
@Aileé Guerra Aréizaga you seem to be the leading lady of this endeavor. When it's finished send it my way and I'll send it to Syn and Papa directly

Thank you so much! For sure, I'll send you the final video when it's finished.
Thanks Jak! It's been a team effort with help from @Filip Tomiša and @Ids Schiere

Thank you buddy. Helps immensely

Hi Ekrem, sorry again, but the list of players has been closed for a few weeks now. The backing track was composed with a specific number of players in mind, and to remain fair to the other people who missed the deadline, we can't add anyone else. If this project is successful, there will be more collaborations in the future.

Oh okey no problem!

 

[AGA]

Awesome backing track @Filip Tomiša !
I don't mind playing some rythm guitar at all, but if everyone agrees, i'd like to do a little acoustic/fingerstyle intro.

The acoustic/ fingerstyle idea sounds great! But maybe it would be better to do it in the bridge, cause the track is 6 min. long already and we don't want the video to get too long.

 

[Calvin Phillips]

One more request. Do you have an audio file we can download to practice with?

Are we swiching off at 30 seconds? If that's the case I believe well be switching mid chord progression in a lot of cases.

Yes, that's going to be addressed soon! As soon as we decide the parts everyone is getting.

No, we are not switching every 30 seconds. Most likely people are getting a specific section measured in bars. We would only switch where it makes sense to do so, like at a chord or section change in the music. That is still a few steps away though, some people have yet to respond.

Thanks again for doing this @Jacques ! Really appreciate it!

Thanks again for doing this @Jacques ! Really appreciate it!

You're welcome! I figured it would help streamline your process into the next phase of this project!

I'm anxious to get started and look forward to collaborating with whomever it may be!

 

[Kfir Yaakovi]

@Jacques
Already said I'm ok with both, so put me on rythem because lead is on high demand

 

[Filip Tomiša]

Here you go

backing track rock blues MIX.mp3

[Forgetabull]

I'll go rhythm. Is the rhythm section basing it off that backing track ?

 

[Jacques]

We are soooo close, four more to decide!

[Dominik Gräber]

If you do play lead, put some wah on that solo for our boy?

Maybe. But people always mistake me for Kirk Hammett when I do that.
