I'm pretty sure you've heard Smoke on the Water... at least the intro riff, everyone in the world knows that.

Well, as soon as someone shows up who's willing to sing/play drums. I could record the guitar part today, but what good would that be without the other instruments?

[Rococo]

Aw man,does anybody know a good way to cure a strained voice? :(

This is a great idea Alex! :D

I've looked for a really long time but couldn't find the piano part to smoke on the water. My computers really slow so by "looking for a long time" I mean that I only went on 5 or 6 sites. Yup. Thats my computer. You wouldn't believe me if i told you how long it took me to just get onto this site. So anyway, if anyone has a link for the whole piano part, i would like it a lot :D I also forgot to say I have a guitar so I could be able to do something on that if needed.

[LightningAlex]

Well, you can always download a GuitarPro tab. Here's a good one, it has the keyboard part: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/d/de...guitar_pro.htm (Download button on the end of the page)
You can only view this file with GuitarPro or TuxGuitar software. I recommend TuxGuitar, it's a lot smaller and easier to use. Just open the file, select the "Rock organ" part and click play.

[Sandshrew4]

It only lets me do the lead and bass guitar, and the drums.

[Haza]

Do rappers/pop artists qualify? hehe

[CarefulWetPaint]

Welcome to all the new members! Sorry I havent said anything but I was away from the internet for a while!

I must admit I am very interested to see a collab be put together by you club members! I think it would be really cool, even just an audio clip without a video if a video is to hard!

If it's musical its acceptable! (Pretty much..) So yes rappers/pop artists qualify indeed!

What programs are you guys planning on using to record with?

[LightningAlex]

I was thinking that, once all of us record the video, someone who's good with video editing could put them all together and in sync. I haven't really thought that through since the individual videos aren't done yet xD

[Haza]

Here is a video that my best friend (Syd Coopz) and I did for her song "PHRESH". I'm on the hook but my voice is altered. I didn't wanna be featured and I chose to have my voice altered. My music is really different than this, but I do like myself in the video. I'm the hater guy! Haha!

Aww, unless you guys start doing some Jethro Tull, I guess I'm not joining the band. There needs to be more flute in mainstream music.

[CarefulWetPaint]

Wellllllccccccccccoooooooooommmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee Neeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another guitarist and drummer. AWESOME! Have you guys been playing long?

So theres a few people who have done original work! Thats so cool. Personally I've (kinda) written the guitar and bass to a song or two, Im not a drummer so didnt even bother with that stuff. I've also come up with a few riffs but I don't really know how to arrange them so they just chill bang out waiting for me to use if I get the feeling.

BUT THE SEASON IS MERRY! So I was thinking the club could do a collab on a christmas carrol or a christmas song, something like that? Anyone up for that?

[Chaval]

well ive been playing for 2 years now... or 3? something like that xD so im not a pro what about you?

I've been playing for like 5 years in a row and stopped for a while. But my skills are still awesome But I still not that good in double pedals. I can't afford it right now and I'm just practicing that using my uncle's.

Hey guys, I would like to welcome the new members as well. I haven't posted here in a while, but I had some exams which I had to take care off.

Anyway, as far as the PC band project goes, all we have to do is agree on a song. I'm a rock/metal guitarist, and I probably could play something that doesn't fit into those 2 genres, but it'd take a while until I learn it. However, I think the best solution is to make a list of extremely popular/well known songs, and we could agree on one of them. Here's a list I had in mind:

Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
Joan Jett - I Love Rock & Roll
Queen - We Will Rock You
Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
AC/DC - Back in Black
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
AC/DC - T.N.T.
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Black Sabbath - Iron Man
Guns n Roses - Sweet Child of Mine
Guns n Roses - Knockin' on Heaven's Door
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
Metallica - Fade to Black
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Europe - The Final Countdown

I think if we agree to one song out of this list, and record it, it'd be awesome!

And last, but not least, I made a cover, and I'd really like to get some critiques on my playing. If anyone wants, you can see it here:

It's Stargazer by Rainbow. Unfortunately, the backing track I used doesn't have any vocals.

[Sandshrew4]

Me. Like. AC/DC! I'd be willing to do that.

[Kroso]

Fail at tapping. xD Classes and life are what kept me chained to humanity.

[Chaval]

I love Deep Purple and I can do it

[Evanlyn]

I'm back... after a very, very, very long absence.. >.< I've just been very busy moving & whatnot.... anyway I'm now studying for Grade 6 Clarinet.. and I got an A in my grade 4 earlier this year.
Oh and I have now been playing Alto Saxophone for nearly a year :)

[outfox]

*gasp* I forgot I was a member here!! Sorry I haven't posted in so long.

About those strained vocal chords- in order to avoid that, I sing only every other day, and I take 3 spoonfuls of honey before practicing. Before a performance, I take a Mucinex. No lie, it works wonders, you should try it.

PS: WetPaint, I noticed my name isn't on the member list, which could be due to my inactivity but I don't think my name ever made it to the list to begin with. I'm not mad or anything, just addressing it to find out whether or not I'm still an official member

[Rococo]

Okay!
Thank you Outfox and Synerjee,I feel/sound much better now! :D

So,I just got a Bass Guitar and was wondering,do any of you more experienced bassists have any good advice for somebody who's just starting out?
I know the basics and can play a couple rifts and a song (Avenged Sevenfold - Buried Alive) without qualm.

[cacturne4512]

Got an actual keyboard for Christmas, so starting to learn to play the piano! Thank god our conductor at school made it a point to teach us how a piano is set up, so I'm not completely lost. Now playing more than one note at a time, now there's the issue.
