Someone make a back track. Make it a mp3. They way we can all make a video with the music over top of it. Then whoever wants to mix the videos together gets the videos sent to them and voila!
Who’s gonna make the back track? Think of it being 30 seconds long.. so you either want it simple.. or try to accomplish a lot. Ideally rhythm riff. Chords progression. Try to make it simple like a major progression. Then we can choose how we wanna solo. Which scales that will fit to that progression? There ideally will be many. If you want to add in titles saying the scales you used that would be a good idea. Just some ideas I had.

I do not have a discord account.
I want to be part of it.
I wanted to do the backing track as well.
But at the time I am really focused on college.
I think that if you guys have a backingtrck I can improvise on it.
I will do the backing track in the next project.
Waiting for the instructions

That was my idea toom 30 seconds is enough time. We could easily get 10 or 20 in it. It may seem long but if we break it up and have like mini segments on maybe the scales certain people use.. etc.could have a 30 second break where someone just talks.. anything. First gotta get a list of legit people wanting to play. Of we get a list of 10 or so I’ll think up a neat mini backing track. I’ll try to find one that uses maybe a generic pentatonic scale so it can relate to many scales. Unless someone else wants to step in. Speak up!

so, I made a quick back track.
colab backtrack.

So, this is how it goes. It’s a little more then 30 seconds, but I did that because I figured we would need a full set of bars to solo over. I think it is around 45 seconds in total, all you have to do is mix together your take on the video, and send it to me. I can do the mixing myself.. Because this is a improv collab, I figure you will not have as much time as you’d like to really make the video. So I’d say a week, two max. It doesn’t have to be amazing, it just needs to be you.
I used Bflat/gminor penatonic to make the riff. You can find many scales to play off that. Ids can probably suggest a few that you wouldn’t think of trying. Push yourself and try something new, or you can stick to your own roots, but try shredding something you never thought possible before. You can write it I suppose, but an improv would be neat. No judgements here. It’s a pretty simple progression, I only use three notes. I just palm mute them, then play them open. Use the first half to build up to the second half.. ideally first half could be melodic, and second half crazy shredding.. for example. Give me all you got guys. If I see some real interest in this I may keep this up. Could be a neat week/monthly thing we can do to add to the fun here.
if you’d like a MP3 or wav version of this just let me know and I can send it to you.
