I'm bored.

The blind leading the blind?

Bub, it turned out LIKE THIS

Bub, it turned out LIKE THIS

It should be noted that that isn't the results of the project idea. It is what was salvaged from
failure.

I don't want to put words in Mike's mouth, but my GUESS is that by failure he was referring to the process or experiment, not the result.  Just a guess... please don't hang me if I'm wrong... that happens all the time.

No old wounds here Bub.

I'm not sure what spacey means by "failure". A song came out of the experiment. 

Prior to my taking over the producer's chair from jamesyoyo, no one had heard anyone else parts. We all had only heard spacey's acoustic guitar parts and created our parts from that. I thought that was the "experiment". But I have been wrong many a time before.

I did not know that. If all the parts were written against only the guitar part then the project
was a success.
I thought the tune had been constructed differently.
 
Well.....that is a good thing. I'm glad I found that out. Thanks Ed.

Oh!

Wait!

I think I may have misunderstood you.

My bad.

spacey

wow....is the twilight zone?

No sir.

noldar12 saw the thread title and was making a joke about the word 'bored' ... inferring that he misunderstood, for comedic value, and put forth actual 'board' sizes.

For even further comedic value, and to lighten the somber mood laid upon us this past evening, I made an off color joke suggesting that I have an 'inny', just to try and lighten the mood some more.

My apologies.

I think your original thread idea is a great one, and I'm sorry I brought up a subject that stopped it in it's tracks.

I love hearing the collaborations here. I find it incredible that we live in an age where we can communicate with people all over the world, put a song together, and make it sound like it was done live with everyone in the same room.

Thanks,

Bub.

Kord progression:

In the key of "C", in keeping with CH values, would that be vi, vi, vi, vi, vi, vi, vi, vi, vi, vi, vi, vi...?

Or keeping with the key of "C" theme, are you looking for something more complex, like ii/V, iii/IV, iv/iii, iii/IV, ii/V, iv/iii...?

Drumming is basically time keeping. So to start a song with that would be hard and take the creative vision of the next person to add to it, I think.

I totally disagree with this.  Imagine hearing ONLY the drum track to these tunes...
 
Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water
Bob Marley - Jammin'
The Jam - Going Underground
Black Lace - Agadoo
The Police - Walking On The Moon
 
can you honestly say that all you get from that is timing?  Really?

Thank you Karyn.

Soens it was a serious attempt to envolve a few in something other than buffoonery.
"It might be more fun to start with a chord progression or bass line. "  Two things hit me wrong with this-
One is that there was a conversation in this thread about a project that was done with a chord progression (acoustic part)
which obviously you didn't read or totally disregarded as of no value.
I can tell you that I was amazed that a tune like that could happen with the participants having only a guitar part to write to.
I didn't realize that until I was informed and probably was before and didn't catch it.

The other thing that rubbed me is by suggesting other ways you were shooting down an idea that hadn't been given a chance.
I can tell you in all honesty that more than 4 songs that I wrote for Jeff that are in my link were written to drum parts. I use drums
to inspire my writing/ideas. To me the "groove" is what I feed off of.

The idea of having folks write a tune only to one part came to me by listening to an intervue with Tom Petty.
I took his way of writing a step farther by limiting what a participant can write to.

So one was done with only the acoustic part with excellent results. My hats off to them.

Yes I do trust you/us. I trust you'll understand that I don't submit musical ideas that may benefit us lightly....but maybe that's
just my problem.
