    Greg, there are two versions of the lead guitar track on box.com:
    GG2-lead-original.wav is the recorded sound which includes guitar pedals, and
    GG2-lead-mixed.wav is the mixed version with EQ, delay and more reverb added.
    Use whichever you prefer.
    PS. Could you upload a copy of the vocal track, please? I like to mix my own version but I don't have a vocal track on its own? Many thanks.

    I played your rough mix to Mrs. Fretless and her comment was that the vocals and the music don't sound like they were played or recorded in the same place. You could try scaling down that slight pan and bit of delay and reverb further or apply a hint of it to some of the instruments to bring them closer together.

    As usual, great vocals, Greg. Well done!

    Georg Harrison's First Guitar Up For Auction

    The auction house estimates the guitar will sell for between $200,000 and $300,000.

    That (to me) is an unbelievable price, and to think, Goerge gave it away (donated it). This one sold for a much more realistic price. By all means bump it up by a few hundred as it belonged to George a long time ago.

    Is the widow greedy or are guitarists really that rich and gullible?

    Melodyne is better known for its auto-tuning ability but it can also do time correction. I tried the auto-correction but there were too many notes that sounded worse afterwards that I decided to go through and do each note by hand (and check by ear).

    With auto-correction you can choose which notes or apply correction to the whole piece at once and you have a pecentage correction slider so, yes, you can leave notes not quite computer-accurate if you prefer. Doing it by hand I drag the start point of each chord to where I want each one to start and then would listen to each bar afterwards to check my work.

    From memory there are 3 Melodyne packages - Essential, the one I have, is the cheapest - and you can always upgrade from a lesser one to a greater one. Celemony (or something like) that is the company that publishes Melodyne software.

    I clearly missed some news as I was not aware that Mandy could not play guitar when I suggested it. Sorry. Because of the trouble Mandy had, my reparation was to spend yesterday adjusting the timing of Mandy's Brit Clean guitar track so that it sits tighter to the beat, like this (for gotto if he chooses to use this in the final mix):

    Using the adjusted guitar track I then did the drum track (which gotto will want for the final mix):

    Guitar and drum tracks together sound like this:

    Mandy, I am guessing that an AAC (.m4a) file will be what you want so that you can import it into GarageBand, in order to do the bass track - if you are up to it. Here you go:

    What chord is this?

    in Music Theory

    Posted · Edited by Fretless

    Mantonanjin, I think you are so close - as you say, the notes look like D#, G#, C, F#. What if we said that the third note was B# instead of C? Then we would have G#, B#, D#, F# which is G#7/D# or, if you prefer, Ab7/Eb.

    The other two chords are C7 and Eb7.

    Edit: I seem to be repeating DianeB!

    I woke up with the intro in my head and I managed to complete the song before I need to leave, so here it is.

    122bpm, 4/4 time, D  major

    Intro - 4 bars
    [DGAA]  A     [DGAA]  A

    Chorus - 8 bars
    G     D     G     D
    G     D     A     A

    Verse - 10 bars
    F#m   F#m   Em    Em
    F#m   F#m   Em    Em
    A     A

    Chorus - 8 bars
    G     D     G     D
    G     D     A     A

    Solo - 8 bars
    [DGAA]  A     [DGAA]  A
    [DGAA]  A     [DGAA]  A

    Verse - 10 bars
    F#m   F#m   Em    Em
    F#m   F#m   Em    Em
    A     A

    Chorus - 8 bars
    G     D     G     D
    G     D     A     A

    Outro solo (to fade) - 16 bars
    [DGAA]  A     [DGAA]  A
    [DGAA]  A     [DGAA]  A
    [DGAA]  A     [DGAA]  A
    [DGAA]  A     [DGAA]  A

    I need to explain [DGAA]: it is 4 chords in 1 bar (measure). Otherwise, every written chord is a full bar. If anyone needs an audio demonstration of DGAA, let me know.
