Wanted: Bass & Lead Guitarist !

[Ic3m4n]

Hi everyone,

since a lot of talented guitarist visiting this place, i think it´s worth a try to call for help here.

I have a track laying around where i was trying to imitate guitars with the build-in "FL Slayer"...it could be work for the bass guitar, but the lead sounds terrible. It´s a "Speed Metal" (or "Power Metal") remix of an old C64 game that plays now at around 200 BPM...if you know "Dragonforce" or "Stratovarius" you can imagine in wich direction the track should go.

I will upload a WIP outside of NG (because i already have uploaded two tracks today and i couldn´t find a WIP section for music) asap....and post the link here.

Anyone who´s interested, don´t hesitate to reply here. I would really appreciate your help and we could release this track as a collab.

Regards

OK...here are some links:

If you have a SID player you can listen to the original C64 track here:
Bubble Dizzy (subtune 1 of 5)

And here is what i got so far:
Bubble Dizzy (Need-4-Speed)

Please keep in mind that this is a very early WIP...the drums are just temporarely placed and everything can & will be changed till final. I just experimented with the "Slayer" and wanted to sound right, but...

I think this WIP is worth a laugh....anywho....if you think you´re able to play this and if you want to be a part of it, then let´s finish this thing together.

I like this idea.

I can cover for the lead guitar for the shred solos and what not that are typical of power metal. Stratovarius used to be my favorite band before they got dry after elements, then broke up.

That´s fantastic !
There is no better qualifying than to be a fan of that music. Have you listened to this crappy try of mine ;) I have to admit that i have no clue when it comes to guitars...i still wonder how you can get all the notes with only 5 strings (if that´s the name for it ;) )...but gimme a keyboard or piano and i play it :D

So, how should we do this? How should we get started? Do you need the track without the actual guitar-tries? Or can you just start right away?

Ofcourse you´re free to play it your way...as long as the original melody is reconizable ;) So add or remove notes as your likening.

Yeah, I could use the track without the FL slayer in the background. :)

I might record it later today, when I get the time.

[Ic3m4n]

k...i will render it right now...and put the link here...should be up within the next 30-60 minutes.

was just listening to your latest submissions...no other words than awesome, dude! I am really looking forward :D

[Ic3m4n]

< that lolipop is really annoying :(

Anywho....here are the versions
without bass guitar and without lead guitar.

I hope it´s good enough for you to work with...if you need anything else, just tell me.

Oh, and you don´t need to rush it...the track was laying around such a long time, so it doesn´t matter if it´s finished today, next week or next week ;)

Good Luck & Best Regards

Oh, okay, gotcha. And thanks for liking my stuff. I should have it recorded soon.

[Ic3m4n]

Worked a bit on the track again, but i am still not satisfied with "Slayer" bass guitar :(

Anyone interested in playing the bass part ?

Cheers !

Hey i could do theass no problem if ya like :)
Do you have a tab for the song?

[Ic3m4n]

That would be cool, mate!

Unfortunatly i never learned to read (or write) notes...everything i know about music i have learned by try and error...and i use my ear as a guideline for remixes.

What i could do, is writing the notes down from the FL-patterns, but there are no pauses or anything that would be needed, just the plain notes.

Don´t know if this would be any help for you ?! -.-

[Phase-X-807]

Emm if ya sent me the project i could tab it out myself pretty quick

[Ic3m4n]

I really appreciate ya help !

Thank you...will zip that baby right now...

My guitar part

Anything you want changed or added?

[Ic3m4n]

Sounds awesome, dude !!!

Especially the part from 1:00 to 1:20 and the end :D That´s a really great interpretation ! *Thumbs Up*

The only thing that´s not okay now is the drums and the whole mixing/mastering...but thats something i have to deal with. Do you have a file with only your guitar part ? Or can you make one ? Don´t know how to implement it....

Yeah, sure, right here.

[Ic3m4n]

You´re great, man !!! And the guitar as solo is amazing !

I will keep you informed of the progress. And ofcourse i´ll give you the final track...so that you can upload it too (if you want to).
As soon as Phase-X-807 get´s back with his bass-part, i can finish the track...hopefully everything works well together ;)

I´ll send you a PM with my e-mail, just to stay in contact...or if you wanna know how far i am.

Cheers, mate !!!
