I have put some rhythm guitar tracks in the Box, I have used the following GarageBand amps "Britt and Clean", "Fat Face" and "Warm British Combo".
I like the first two together.
They are not very good, I feel like I am a beginner again and I am still not all that happy with my trigger finger(s). So if anyone else would like to have a go at doing this then your contribution will be most welcome!

Thank you Fretless, it looks great. I will get to work on it.

I have only just noticed that I am to provide the song's structure. It is 1.00 am here and I am just off to bed and then I will be out, playing drums at a church leaders' conference in the morning, so I will come up with something when I am back home, in about 15 hours from now.
Thank you Fretless, there is no rush. Please do it at a time that suits you. We are not in a hurry.

Superb Limjatje, you did not rush into buying it, you made a carefully considered decision and have bought the guitar that is right for you. I know that you will always love and keep playing this superb guitar. I really do like the colour! ????

Wow, what a fun shopping trip!
The Gibson is absolutely gorgeous and in really good condition. You have a superb bit of history there, I bet she sounds lovely. Wow, what a great find!!
I like the look of the Dobro too, I bet your son will be really pleased with it!
Enjoy!???

If no one wants to contribute, why don't I do parts 1 and 3 and you do parts 2 and 4? Gotto will do parts 5 and 6 and we can see then who would like to do parts 7 and 8.
Yes, it is a cunning plan! Let us assume that I will be ok to do this but Greg will step in to the rescue if I can not.
We are up and running folks!

@gotto I am nearing the end of my 6 weeks of not playing guitar. I will have a better idea on Sunday as to what my playing will be like. There seems to be an improvement in the trigger finger of my left hand but "the proof of the pudding will be in the eating". Thank you for your offer, fingers crossed that I will be able to do it (pun intended!).????

do you fancy having a go at the rhythm guitar if I pick a chord progression and tempo that you can play?
I extend this invitation to anyone who would like to have a go at doing the rhythm guitar.

Beautifully played Wim! ?

Yes to both questions. I am by no means an expert but I am happy to explain my thoughts as we progress through collaboration mixes.
Thank you Fretless, that will be absolutely brilliant!

I think I'll leave that to someone with more talent but thank you anyway!
OK, no worries. Perhaps another time for you.

Hello Limatje,
Fender is a really good make of guitar and you can not go wrong with them. I have never played a telecaster but I have heard that the shape of the guitar is not comfortable for everyone. A lot of people start out with a stratocaster shape or a Les Paul shape. If I were you I would go for a Fender Strat or Yamaha Pacifica 112, the Yamaha Pacifica was my first electric and I still love playing it.
Best wishes
Mandy

Running into a Les Paul Traditional, left handed in mint condition on the Gruhn's Website just isn't fair. Then the next day I ran into a left handed Cordoba C5-CE, nylon string classical for $335.00 isn't fair either.
Yep, it is not fair but it would have been a crime if you did not to buy them!???

While reading the practice tips article that Steve put up I saw and investigated this link.
I wonder, what would my brain be like if I did not play an instrument! ???

I read the other day the the reason the music to day mostly sucks is that the record labels will not produce a record that does not have a 1, 4, 5 . music count and that is stopping a lot on great artist from getting recorded. That dont want to use that chord progression. So that makes every song sound the same. The Day of the Doors And zeppelin. even the great full Dead are gone. They where not afraid to Change.
That is exactly what my Udemy songwriting teacher was saying, most of the modern music is written to a formula.
Maybee that explains why I have not bought many "new" albums lately and most of the stuff that I buy is music from way back, like Led Zeplin!???

Great excuse for GASing!

Hello Fretless,
Thank you for your kind offer.
I have learnt a lot from doing the interim mixing for GG1 (your tip about the rhythm guitar tracks was A!) and looking at your final mix which is way superior to the muddy article that I produced.
One of the most important things that I now know is that I know next to nothing about mixing and mastering. This prompted me to get some books to read and read articles on the internet. Also I now have an early Birthday present of some entry level monitors. Wow what a difference!
Please could you help me on my mixing/mastering learning curve? If someone else wants to take you up on this kind offer could you keep me in on the loop please?

Can I sign up to do the drum track this time?
Fantastic, thank you Fretless.

?Following the Success of the first Guitar Gathering Collaboration (GG1) let's work together to write and record another song just for fun. It will be a team effort and anyone at any level is encouraged to join in. ?
Please volunteer to do the tasks below. I will pick up any tasks that do not get volunteered for and I will help anyone who wants to join in.?Do not worry if you have never done this before, I am here to help you and I know that other members of this forum will also help. Please feel free to send me a private message if you are not sure whether to join in.
?This is a great opportunity for people to learn how to do home recordings and music production and also for more experienced players to join in the fun of a collaboration and share their knowledge and experience, we need all skill levels!
?One of the great things about working with others is that you end up with a song that has been crafted by a pool of ideas, I always find it a useful and fun learning experience!
The production tasks will be in a slightly different order this time to make the rhythm guitar track easier to do.1) Fretless will Choose a tempo (bpm), time signature (eg 4/4), key (eg. C major) and a song structure (eg. intro, verse, chorus, bridge outro) with bars and chords.
2) Mandy will Record a rhythm guitar track.
3) Fretless will record a drum track.
4) Mandy will Record a bass guitar track.
5) Gotto will write some lyrics and choose a title for the song.
6) Gotto will record the vocals.
7) Fretless will Record a lead guitar track (solos, fills).
? Gotto will Mix and master the song, this includes providing intermediate mixes for collaborators who want a specific mix in order to or record their parts.
Please note:
- Please record your track in 24 bit and, if you can, at 48kHz, saving your track as a wave (WAV) file. If you cannot do that then do the best quality you can. If you do not have any recording software you can use Audacity, it is free to download and easy to use. We have a shared online space from previous collaborations for uploading and sharing the audio files; I will send a PM with the link to new contributors.
- If you have already done a particular audio task (ie. drums, bass, guitar, vocals) in a previous collaboration then you are welcome again but do please let others have a chance to choose first.
- Please do not negatively criticise others' contributions
?Let the fun begin! ??????
We ended up making a song called The Way It's Meant To Be

Great, thank you @gotto I will put you down for doing the mixing.
I am uncertain as to whether the rhythm guitar tracks that I have done are of any use, they do not sound great to me. I will leave it to you and Fretless to decide on that. I would be more than happy for you to produce a replacement rhythm track. I just thought I would give it a go, I had been secretly hoping that someone other than me would do the rhythm guitar. ?
Your side project sounds superb, I hope you will post some of your music for us to hear!???
