Anybody wanna record a solo over a song I'm struggling to complete?

[IT'z Roberto]

Just looking for inspiration and help with a track that I'm stumped on, I can't seem to figure out what to put in the clean/bass spot.

I kinda imagine a Plini/intervals/Sithu style shred... But I also kinda suck at guitar

Here is the track (unfinished) for a general idea.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to try something, I just can't figure out what to do next




This should be the download for just the track:

nice. seems like you know your stuff. you'll get it. i'd say go modal and avoid cage stuff

I’ll check this out when I get a chance, I’ll be away from the guitar for the next week or so.

OOoooooo I definitely want to jam on this and see what I come up with! I should have time this week

I'll see what I can do.

To be honest, I'm learning as I go, Im not really sure what the approach to modal is, or even how caged works I don't know my keys, what chords I'm playing, I just know here they are on the fretboard and how they sound

I've dabbled in trying to learn what these things are, but it's like rocket science to me.

Sure thing broham

I'm open to anything ideas man, I may not use the whole thing, but I could definitely use some inspiration and ideas. Either way, feel free to jam across the whole thing if you like I'm down for whatever and I've heard your awesome licks by all means, go for it

 

[IT'z Roberto]

I'll see what I can do.

Awesome broham feel free to jam!

Hey guys, if I need to extend or loop anything, let me know which part, and if you have the ability to do so in order to put in lengthier licks, by all means do whatever you like. I can always mix the drums, bass, rhythm guitars, etc to fit along with your jam better later on

If you feel the need for a specific key change (although I don't know my keys) you can record a snipet of backing and I'll do my best to learn it and implement it

Let me know if there is anything I can do

in the end, the ear is king. still, knowledge helps. your track sounds very promising and will most likely be amazing when your done. cheers

Truly thank you for the kind words it is a genre change for me. I've been playing basic heavy metal, nu metal, and breakdowns for a long time. However, Melody, tone, and production are fairly new concepts to me

Sounds like a good jam comp. Will give it a shred this week hopefully.

Here's my quick little attempt. Good stuff, keep at it. This was good practice for me, I never play solos lol.
EDIT: Blech Google shares your name with Drive links. gonna look for another way to share.
EDIT2: http://sndup.net/vxkc here we go

That was cool bro I dig it, this is all inspirational to me

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you all know, I can lengthen the bars if needed for jamming/soloing over!

If it feels to short to write licks over, let me know

I'll go ahead and loop the bars in a few variations and have them up (hopefully here in a little bit) thank you all!

Ok, after delays and saying I was going to try on the demo thread, I finally gave your song a shot.

Crappy insta clip

Being a 4, 5, 6, 5 chord progression, your song implies a melody in the F# minor so I couldn't help but play to that. So I wrote something quickly in the style based on the kind of music you like. Funny since that chord progression is common in Asian music and my friends calls this as kawai shredding. But your song does beg for that kind of topline melody.

I guess from that point on, what you can do can either use the same motif to go back to a louder dynamic and play a more anthemic topline (like longer sustaining notes and adding octaves and harmonies etc), or you can go somewhere new, like a variation of the chord progression, a different progression, a key change or something else entirely. There's plenty of options to go from there.

Wow.... Just .. wow that was epic truly epic

If you'd like to send me the stems I'll mix them in and attempt to move forward with what you were saying

Edit: I can't stop watching that, I truly dig it, perfect fit in my opinion

Thanks! But to be honest, I only recorded that as an insta clip for example purposes.

But all good, I've got it documented now, so I can just redo it as a stem. Just give me some time. Or if you manage to learn it yourself, you can do that too.
