[HELP] Guitar solo needed!
Reply with quote

Hey folks!

I've gotten myself into a pickle jar here. I'm currently working on a remix for a friend, and the track has worked itself up to a point where it is basically calling for a guitar solo. Cheesy, I know. This would be perfectly fine, except that I cannot perform anything that isn't a basic G major, let alone shred a guitar.

So I'm asking around here!

This is just a short snippet of the remix so far, to give an idea of what there is to work with (the solo-to-be kicks in at 0:38, after the piano break). It's still very much WIP - a lot of it has been roughly sketched out to an end point, but the general idea is still there.

If anyone here can pull out a clean recording of a guitar solo (or knows someone who can), and is interested in helping out, please let me know and I'll pass on some extra details/direction. I'd be super grateful for it. Smile

Maaaaan. Nothin'? Not even a peep?

What a drab.

If I could play guitar I'd help you Lollie. Can't you just use some cheesy sounding softsynth (and do a parody of a guitar solo)?

I just realized I'm saying this without having listened. I'll do it later.


what is hip?

Haha, once you listen, you'll probably realize that cheese isn't really an option. Besides, my solos are very hit-or-miss.

I could play, but absolutely nothing fancy. I suck with the guitar, and have lots of static in the background. However, I thought that there are plenty of transposing programs such as melodyne, which will allow you to play your stuff i G, then just snap it to the scale you want.

I loved the song. I'm working on doing a solo for it right now. I'll play over the whole track and send you what I play so that you can edit it however you want.

Haha, oh man, I had a "wait WHAT" moment for a second there. Guessing you took a small look through the WIP folder to find the full track?

Seriously man, that'd be so awesome. Thank you! Smile

Yes I do. Smile
I use Ableton Live occasionally for timestretch effects and some retiming/pitching, but MadTracker's still my weapon of choice.
