Guitar tricks record?... Whos in?....

my style is rock and metall but i can get along with any style.
as for my skills:
i play both rythem better than lead but i like lead better. i'm no expert in any though and i cant shred a bit.
as for the piano i play Karma Police style but i play clasics too.
i have nice set of drums in my basement (Bass, Floor Tam-Tam, Dual Tam-Tams, Snare, Hi-Hat, Ride and Crash (i that says anything to anyone)) but i cant do anything with it and i have to ask my drummer guy if he's in...
anyway recording the guitar and the piano will be no problem, however the echo in my base makes it difficult too record the drums (we usually dont care even when recording... once we recorded a song that ends abruptly but you can hear clearly the HamHamHam of the echo)

I too have declined to add my own name to this ever growing list for a while, but I can't help it, I want to be in too! I play primarily rhythm stuff, and I can sing (I guess, though do we really want vocals?) I would be leaning towards simply adding the odd chord stab and rythmic stuff on acoustic or some simple swells and background chordal work with my electric. Oh, and of course an extended fourteen minute solo in which I demonstrate my superior lead work... or not.

Christoph: yep... 20 meg should get us going just fine...
I was thinking about everyone who can just uploading their clips to their own web space, and then just sending th URL to who ever is biulding the site...

So 20 megs would be ok.

What if we started a yahoo group? You get 20 megs of space and an area where you can post messages.

Sounds good... all we need is a place where we can post news, talk, etc. Doesn't have to be http://www.guitarcollab.com

Hello! Been away for a little while but better just keep my name around the lastest goings on.
Skills lie mostly in lead playing, but I can hold my own with rhythm playing. Styles are basic anything I enjoy, everything from Death Metal to Country, from fingerpicking to a little bit of disco...(yes, I do get some strange looks when messing around!)
I think someone who's prepared to should take a lead in this and start setting up things like websites and whatnot...Who's up for that?

hey! i know it's past Fri. but i spoke with my drummer and he's in too!

PSYCHO AMRAM (the band) IS IN!

unfortunately though he'll be able to start only in two weeks from now.

hmmm... this seems to be slowing down...
A yahoo e-group would be good...
So are we ready to begin?
(I concent to my e-mail being used for the e-group, if you want anything officail)...

Hey is it too late to be in. I haven't visited the forums in ages. But if you won't accept me as a musical part of this project I hope I can still offer a piece of advice.

I've tried to do something like this before over on X-E (which is a totally guitar unrelated forum) and it started OK but loses steam quickly. I noticed that nobody has said anything about recording capabilities. WHen can the music be put up?

If music doesn't come soon this thing will just start rolling backwards. In my opinion, I think the webspace should be tested, everybody's recording capaiblities should be tested (not their skill), and also instrumental variety should be tested.

Put all that up on the website for access as a sample. It doesn't necessarily have to be a song. But just lets everyone get an idea of what we are doing and get the ball rolling a little bit faster again.

...on another note, having people bring in random recordings of themselves also gives us an ACCURATE COUNT the total musicians that are willing to respond when needed...thank you

All good points. I can understand people not having time to meticulously record & produce amazing contributions at this time of the year, but I think it would be good to give us some samples (please forgive that word) for us to think about.

Where should we send them? What file format? How many tracks? What have we gotten into?

Ok, I just made a Yahoo e-Group.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Guitartricks/

Join up! We have twenty megs for posting stuff.


Lord, file format? Mp3 of course.

thanks!

It's been a busy week for me, but I've by no means forgotten about this project.

good job with the yahoo thing chris. I signed myself up.

Are we still going to be doing the webpage thing? Or will this cover us?

I signed up for the guitartricks yahoo group but it says "Membership pending"... does that mean you have to approve it or something?

i'm trying to join, but for some reason yahoo won't accept my password when i go to sign in.

never mind, i got it to work.


i'm zepp_rules2001, two thousand other kids had my name

Can you sign up just to be part of it even if you don't plan on playing?

I signed up too, I should show up as either "fiftygritbass" or "tpgpc."

I've signed in. It seems the usernames and passwords come out lowercase regardless of what you type in.
