R U Being a Tease??
I be intersted...

Good.


But I need to ask some stuff...

But of course !


Are there any qualifying runs?

Nope. But we can't guarantee your stuff will be used.
Because :

same CAPE Rulz Same CAPA time?

Exactly.


16 bars at what BPM?

Enough for you to make an impression. If it's above 180 we'll make it 32 bars, OK ? :lol:


Song Length?

Depends on how many shredders we get signing up here !


Im old an rusty I wanna make sure it doesn't kill me...

Sex & drugs & rock n' roll & a pension plan, huh ?
:D


Thanks...
You're welcome.
:Coolio:

[jwoo10]

When you say you have the tune??.. you mean you already have the backing song tracked??? or are you gonna be looking for players to track the backing track??

[pacAir]

Awww, I always leave spaces between my notes.


Denied :Sad:

[jdub]

I'm not really a shredder anymore, but I'd like to give it a run. More of a blues guy these days but I could get some speed exercises in.

Paul Gilbert look out! :Roll eyes:

[seagate]

Where is Diane???

[Goes211]

Where is Diane???

She's very much the instigator.
It's one of her tunes you'll be shredding on.
:Coolio:

[gitarted]

Mwa ha ha ha ...:Twisted:

[Goes211]

are you gonna be looking for players to track the backing track??

Yes.

:Coolio:

Not me, that's fer sure...

[Aardvark]

Does it have to be guitar shredding?


I am thinking about signing up for this as a contrabassonist... the original shred axe!

Well, I'm more out of the Gary Moore school than the shred school, but I'll polish up my chops & try my best one last time:

Eclectic guitar Bill Nelson wannabee[1]
Shred guitar Has been known to tap. Usually in a blues song...
Acoustic guitar Pardon? Once played one in public. Has video evidence.
Rhythm guitar In a band. Plays this 95% of the time
Bass Guitar Truly awful. Just like you'd expect a guitar player to be really. To add insult to injury only bass is a pink Charvel Model 3B.

All together now: "We're stars. Ooooh yeah. We're stars"

Have you heard the remake that the Dinosaur Rock Guitar forum did of that track?

1) Owns both an E-Bow and an echo pedal.

[saxplayerz]

Why are shredders ONLY guitar players? I know Goes211 is a shredder of the cowbell for example.

[amopae]

Why only shredding guitars???
Why can't there be a spot for shredding keyboards?? =(

Shredding keys are cool...though nobody wants them =(

[studiomusic]

I can shred on the sax and fake my way through a guitar shred... in a bluesy pentatonic scale or VH-esque tapping way.
<legal> I've already pledged my CAPE 6 life away in the musicians thread.

[Calvin]

Tempting, very tempting...

Sounds like fun, although I'm not sure my ego would be able to deal with everyone else playing circles around me. I've known to pick up the pace every now and again, but I'm not really a shredder. I'm liable to sprain something if I try to keep up.

Before I decide to participate in the SHREDBED edition, I have a question: Does participation in the Shredbed preclude participation in the main CAPE?

[ATTICus Finch]

I agree too the stuff, and if i didn't I know of a couple forum members that would skin me.

[IntelDoc]

I am in...

I agree to whatever clauses.... etc....

Just let me know what I need to do. Was there a tune or a track to play to yet?

Sweet lord this should be interesting.

Doc

[rockdart]

Shredder I'm not, but that's in my typical speed signature, so screw it... I'm in.

If nothing else, it'll be a blast laying down a solo.

oh yeah - I agree to all the terms.

[Carlo]

Tempting, very tempting...

Before I decide to participate in the SHREDBED edition, I have a question: Does participation in the Shredbed preclude participation in the main CAPE?

Same here...

[Goes211]

You guys can shred AND be on another CAPE team.
:Coolio:

[dwoz]

Does participation in the Shredbed preclude participation in the main CAPE?


no.


If you participate in the Shred-bed...there is still an opportunity for you to play some music on CAPE.

[Immanuel]

Correct me, if i am wrong, but I usually associate shredding with rather athletic EPO-digesting speed. Is this, what you have in mind here? Cause, while I like some music done in this fashion, this is not where my personal strenght is as a guitar player, and I would then gladly pass it to someone else. Also, how many shredders are you looking for?

[gitarted]

I don't think speed is the main factor in shredismz,
I think taste and creative phrasing is much more effective as far as the "blow away factor" goes.

and of course, the ability to execute your parts cleanly, and smoothly is much more attractive than how fast you can run up and down scales with straight sixteenth notes.

however... it's good to have the horsepower when trying to pass...

I agree...

So many assume that shred is all about speed and nothing but speed. It's about giving a ride where you can accelerate from 0 to 320, go around sharp corners, up and over hills and come to a full stop, throw that sucker in reverse... A roller coaster ride rather than a drag race.

My confession is I've avoided signature things to avoid comparison which may cause discomfort...

[Carlo]

A roller coaster ride rather than a drag race.



Does that mean the Dianne is not gonna dress the team? I mean, Spandex has been proven to cut down on drag!:Thumbsup:

[mousdrvr]

Span.....wha? Oh, right! fluid dynamics. Sorry wrong drag :lol


-mous

[Mixerpuppet]

Does that mean the Dianne is not gonna dress the team? I mean, Spandex has been proven to cut down on drag!:Thumbsup:

Not when the hair actually sticks through an overly stretched fabric...

Plus.. wrapping a hairy whale in drag causes the seals to bark...

I sold all my spandex but my snake skin cowboy boots are in the attic...

Oh wait...

I have some black spandex from mountain biking...

[Skwaidu]

Ok, at least this I *gotta* do! :lol:

(I'm not yet 100% certain if I will time to participate in the "real CaPE" this time, though it would be a shame to miss, I've been in every CaPE afterall... Well see. ;) )

I'm not so much a deadly accurate shredder as some here but I'd still love to do my 16 bars!!! ;)

So yeah:

[Immanuel]

I still am not sure, that I fully understand the concept. GOES211 what do YOU mean, when you say SHRED? Are you talking about metal? Because that is the genre, I associate with the word SHRED. And are you talking speed, or can it be one note each bar, if the "SHREDDER" finds that right? Are you in fact just searching for any kind of "soloers" with any kind of genre-preference and any kind of playing style?

I am sorry, but I would really like to know.

That is really soooooo subjective.
Eddie Van Halen shreds but he's hardly metal.
To me, anyway.

I guess what we're talking about is unabashed display of guitar pyrotechnics, which would usually be considered "too much" by the rest of us sub-humans ('cause we can't do it). If you can make one note scream, to me, you're shredding too.

Will that work for you ?
:Coolio:

[seagate]

If you can make one note scream, to me, you're shredding too.

Hmmm, so even I can shred...

:Confused:

[Goes211]

Hmmm, so even I can shred...

:Confused:

Jeez folks, the semantics are getting quite complicated !

Here's what I wrote to Immanuel earlier :

Shredding as we know it probably has to do with some kind of guitar gymnastics. Personally, it's not my thing. 'Cause I can't do it. (as in "I don't have the chops" ) :lol:

But many folks seem to enjoy it. Let me be blunt : the point is to let people enjoy a bit of guitar solo-ing, extreme OR NOT. Fret-wankage, whatever you wanna call it. It's very trendy to look down upon guitar solos. Our thinking was : so what ? Let people have some fun ! "Guitar show-off", it's exactly that. Usually frowned upon, this time a requirement. :Coolio:

In other words : Yngwies are welcome, and so are Claptonites.

Does that make more sense ?

It's a lot of talking about definitions before actually playing a note. :Roll eyes:

Ok I'll do "some stuff" and just "pretend" that I haven't got a clue, if the producer doesn't find it shreddish. :D

[rockdart]

Hear the song

Write the best solo you can

Perform the solo

Submit

Let the listeners enjoy... well, critique for sure.

Everyone's going to like what they like no matter the label.

[chrisj]

I accept and I agree to follow the CAPE: SHREDBED EDITION Guidelines.

Should be a laugh- and you get to try stuff separately from regular CaPE? Hell yeah. Besides, I almost never get a guitar solo anyway, so it can be like REVENGE OF THE TOO-LOUD GUITAR and for a change that's EXACTLY RIGHT :lol:

I can't decide whether I'm going to throw in very fast frilly crap, or try to Jeff Beck it and kill with three notes. Maybe some of both- no harm trying, if it's not right it just won't get used :) listen really really hard to Team Alchemy, my riffs were way too shreddy for the mix. Tone was untogether but that was years ago...

Can I play over sick evil changes? :D

[IntelDoc]

PLEASE! Someone play a POWERDRILL or I am going to put one in the mix!

I WILL DO IT!

please... ;-(

Who needs a powerdrill?















oh....















Nevermind....
















:lol:

[QweziRider]

I'll take a whack at shredding my bass. I'm not even above using a power drill on it. :Coolio:

[jdub]

:Confused:

If that note is a harmonic, played with the volume knob at 0 floyd rosedown, and then you gradually raise the whammy bar and volume at the same time till you get the Dimebag Darrell growl, then yes, 1 note is shredding.

Screw it I'm in.

Gonna have to bring out my Richie Kotzen, and Reb Beach licks! :icon_eek:

Alright, I'm in. If my stuff doesn't make the mix, so be it. :grin:

Yikes, what did I just do????

I am in........ Can I SHRED???......maybe I'll just tear it up a little??............more than likely I'll just get ripped and make a fool of myself.....
SHREDDING eg. rocking out with yer cock out........:Coolio:

[Anduin]

So the song will be what, about 2 hours long?

[Goes211]

So the song will be what, about 2 hours long?

What ? Didn't I mention something about that ? 3'30'', tops.


















:lol:
Take as long as you please.

[Immanuel]

So the song will be what, about 2 hours long?

Don't warry about it. My intergalactic spy has told me, that they are just going to comb a lot of solos. After all, part of shredding is density, and what better way to create density? It has been done for years with doubled lead vocals and guitars and stuff. Even for centuries ... choir music :Wink: This will just be taking it a step further.

Also, the same spy told me, that they are planning to fiddle with the tempo of the recording. Quadrupleing the tempo will 1) save disc space 2) save time 3) ADD DENSITY!

I think we have us a hit :lol:
Immanuel

[chrisj]

I don't actually give a fuck what happens, I'm in heaven already.

I mean, 'revenge of the frustrated lead guitar player'? I am SO FUCKING THERE it's not even funny. I may or may not play faster than everybody else but I bet I'll be having more fun than ANYBODY. I've spent YEARS being nice and not stepping on other parts. MUAHAHAAHAHA....

[gitarted]

I mean, 'revenge of the frustrated lead guitar player'? I am SO FUCKING THERE it's not even funny.
