Hello Community
Join Richard as we go off-piste in this special Vintage Club session.
It will run from 7pm UTC on Monday December 2nd - Reserve your spot here!
In Vintage Club #19 (check the archive for a recording plus downloadable resources here) we looked at some of the many ways that multiple guitars can play together - with mention that the techniques can be used in adding layers and textures to songs.
Here we put that into practice - by aiming to compose and build the parts of a ‘holiday song’ for the festive season in real-time with input from the audience.
Your ideas and suggestions - taken from live chat - will inform the composition. We will arrive at decisions for chord progressions, tempo, and other elements that will go to composing a song - hopefully in two or more parts (time dependent) of intro / verse / chorus / bridge/ outro etc.
This is definitely a step into the unknown and has all the potential to be a risky venture as Richard will be creating, playing, recording and over-dubbing multiple parts on a looper (a Digitech Trio+ that can also add bass and drums) in front of a live audience! It may go pear-shaped. However … If we have fun, learn a little more about music and songs and playing guitar then we all come out as winners. A number 1 festive song is perhaps a dream too far … but …
If you miss the session the recording will be available in the Clubs Archive along with any additional resources. Clubs Archive.
