Seasons greetings and happy holidays everybody!

GOAL: You have until January 20TH to learn a song, any song of your choice, with the instrument of your choice, and record it and upload it (to Youtube, your UG profile or any related site). Audio alone is fine. Video is fine. This should prove some fun and a good time waster and all along you're becoming a better musician. After all entries have been made we will judge on cleanliness, accuracy, techniques (ex. good harmonics or vibrato), styles, speed, etc. and overall impression.

NOTICE: Do not upload to a site where you have to register to view/hear the song (ie, facebook, etc)



*** REGISTRATION IS OPEN RIGHT UP UNTIL THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE ***

Thanks to StewieSwan for this:
To export a GP5 drum track as an Mp3 if I just download the song from UG...

Make sure only the drum track is on (mute the others or press the S button on the drum track in GP) and then go File - Export - MIDI. Once the drum MIDI is exported, find it wherever you put it and open it with itunes. Then right click the track and select "create mp3".
If it doesn't say mp3, if it's another kind of format then go Edit - Preferences - General - Import Settings - Import Using Mp3 Encoder and then right click the song and convert to mp3. This is all assuming you have the latest itunes.




These are the categories:

Guitar -- Easy/Intermediate/Advanced -- (note that 'easy' doesn't mean 'beginner')

I probably won't be entering anything this month, I am going to be doing some recording as part of my final year University project which will take a lot of time to do. Also my girlfriend is in hospital so it is very unlikely that I will have any time this month.

If banjos are allowed I'd quite like to have a go at Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Earl Scruggs. This would be in the 'Other' category.

QPC_Sam

On guitar, I'm going to do the Pearl Fishermen by All about Eve. It's a song I've wanted to play for a long time. I've got together with a singer who wants to give it a go.

Don't know if it's easy or intermediate yet.

Happy New thread!

Banjos are allowed of course!



I'm not sure I'll be doing one this month. I have no clue what to do





^ let me know what you decide it should be in.

Well since nobody else had a collab, might as well carry mine and that Tokai EX dude's from last month.

My Intermediate guitar and bass will be: Sad Sick Little World by Incubus.

I'll come back with my idea of an Easy entree whenever I think of one.

If I’ve offended you, please accept my apology. Then smack yourself in the face for getting offended by something on the Internet.

WCPhils

Advanced: Protest the Hero - The Dissentience

Intermediate: Every Time I Die - Partying Is Such Sweet Sorrow

Easy: I don't know yet




I may try a drum cover also. Not sure what yet but it would be something simple


And also, here are those songs I was talking about. Just thought I thought would share them. No one has to listen

Probably going to enter this time.

One of my 'new years resolutions' is to expand my repertoire. I will get back to you all when I pick a song.

GazzaCee

I too, shall be entering. I too, don't know know what with.

Can someone recommend something (preferably metal or hard rock) that's not particularly hard, but not easy either?
