Title: Guitar Experiment
Post by: patrickstefanski on June 01, 2011, 02:40:13 PM
So I had this fun idea for everyone on the forum to participate in (if you should so choose).

I've been messing around with Reba lately in preparation for the new AO guitar.  And that's when this idea hit me....
So, the jam section of reba is very composed, weird timing in some parts, walk downs, walk ups, rakes etc.  None of which is really too well noted in any tab I saw....but who cares because I know that song really well and I can muddle around with what's provided until I find what sounds best to me.

BUT!  What if I didn't know the song really well, in fact, what if I had never ever heard the song in my life.... and I was presented with the tab and "learned" it.  What would my Reba sound like?  What would your Reba sound like? 

So the fun little experiment is:  We find a non-contestant who has a pretty good knowledge of obscure bands/songs and finds a complicated/crazy/fun song with tab available somewhere (that could be tricky).  And whoever wants to can take however long we decide to learn it....and then we record our versions of the songs and listen to the collective result.

I'm sure this will never happen, but I still think it's a cool idea.

could be fun.  if anyone comes up with a tune and the tab I'd be in.  could get really weird results since tab only works if you already know the values of the notes from just knowing the song.

AO should do it.  He has a catalogue of music the likes of which i have never seen.
