Anybody down for another young picker collaboration?

Thank you so much! I had only been playing a 1 and a 5.:innocent::rofl:

I figured we can gauge some interest here— some of the folks who were initially involved in the collab are no longer active, so let’s gather our volunteers afresh. No deadline on this yet, just trying to see how much interest we have before we start arranging the song. I’d be happy to handle mixing.

THE DETAILS:

  • I’m Ready to Go
  • Key of B
  • 155 BPM (see rhythm tracks earlier in the thread)

VOLUNTEER BELOW (select as many as apply):

  • I would like to play a SOLO on my instrument
  • I can also play BACKUP on my instrument
  • I can SING a vocal part

0 voters

My instrument(s) of choice would be…

  • Guitar
  • Banjo
  • Mandolin
  • Bass
  • Fiddle
  • Dobro
  • Accordion

0 voters

My vocal part of choice would be…

  • Lead (F#3-Eb4)
  • Tenor harmony (Eb4-F#4)
  • Baritone harmony (Ab3-F#3)

I can either sing lead or tenor, so whatever is needed is fine with me.:grinning:

I don’t have a mic other than the ones in my phone/laptop, so I probably can’t do it. By the way how would we send them in?
Also, great idea to use the poll @Michael_Mark!

Also @Michael_Mark , would you want the raw tracks or compressed, gated, etc. tracks?

You could still use a phone/laptop mic! You’ll just need headphones and a DAW that will allow you to play the track in your headphones and record at the same time.

Emailing the tracks to me would work fine, or we can set up a shared Google Drive folder that everyone can access and upload to.

Raw would probably be best.

I don’t have any music equipment, but can I just listen on my phone and record with my laptop/vise versa?
Also, when I answered the poll on singing I thought it was multiple choice, so I was going to press Lead as well as Baritone :sweat_smile:

Definitely, as long as the audio playback from one isn’t picked up by the other’s mic (this is prevented by using headphones). One’s mic may be better than the other and you can experiment both ways. What kind of phone and laptop do you have?

I have a Samsung phone, and a HP laptop, though that might not be helpfull :grin:
I don’t know the specifics.

I can probably do a solo, I’ll just have to make one, It’ll take a while. (I missed that on the poll!)

My brother says he may want to do it, but he’s not sure, and wants to see how well he can do it. He plays the fiddle.

I made a solo for the verse part of the song, and before I went and did it I figured I should ask if I’m supposed to make one for the chorus as well?

Traditionally, bluegrass solos are one time through the verse form, so we planned to do that– just stacking additional solos as necessary depending on how many pickers we had.

Here’s the version we were going off of:

Have we given up on @Mason_Crone’s help?

I can try making a scratch track.
Should we make an arrangement now or get a few more people to play?
(We should find a way to tag all the forum members. @allbluegrasspickers):rofl::rofl::rofl:
