Hybrid vid in place to rid the world of the sweaty falling asleep Fuss replaced with first vid Fuss but SFA Fuss vocals. Imagine after all that time to use the ones thrown together at 2am in one take. That's the way it is!!! Chorus coming soon. I promise to be dry. PS my track in studio is showing Three counters where normally two. Sorry if I flubbed up the plumbing.

CopyCat Thanks for the clapping track. I'm not sure if you sent it over with a sync point. I think this is a tough song for all of us to be in perfect sync without a dominant drum track. If you have a different sync point, please let me know. If you are interested or Fuss wants to try to sing the chorus backing vocals, go for it. Not looking for a perfect end product but I enjoy watching Bandhuggers do their thing. Thanks!

I'm sorry I thought I posted that this was the first in a string of videos and the chorus is coming I justy wanted to get one thing in place at time as this ended up being more time consuming than expected and for all the wrong reasons of course. I encourage anyone who wants to jump on board in the chorus to of course do so Mr Cat has linked the tutorial that covers the parts and if you listen there is an alternative harmony that I would like to do the last time only on both chorus (incvluding the one that "goes up" TL;DR Join in mine will be there as placeholders to encourage varied talent and removable minus towing fees at hugger request.

Ok, lead submitted but filmed at 60fps accidentally uploaded at 24 so there are unmitigateable sync that will all go away once I fix the frames per second. BTW what is the recommended rate 30? 29.97 60 25or6to4?:) sorry this took so long but I gotta say that solo never got old it just grew more nuances to enjoy. A real show stopper even on the 42nd listen. That's when you KNOW it's good.

You sang this spectacularly. Totally worth the wait. Love it! I use 60 fps but I don't think that it matters. I can't tell the difference. You look in sync to me. Great work!!

@brijamcam: You missed all the fun then. Check drafts. I did two takes with different fps and you will see they CAN';T line up it's like the pause between words was cut out like good speech recording software. So the one you got Take 3 for our purposes was done fresh and by fresh I mean my eyes look like slits because I was falling asleep and it was over 100 degrees and by the end I was soaked in sweat. YUMMY.So that one is called TEMP for a reason ;-)

I used my DAW off line to get the original chorus vocals aligned with this BT. I went ahead and uploaded it here, in case you're interested in using it in the collab. If it's not perfectly aligned in studio, you can go to DAW and click on the "Studio settings" button to find my name which has it already aligned for you. Then you can simply apply that setting and publish if you want to use it. Hoping that helps you guys out.

Found an isolated chorus vocal track on YT. Submitted to this collab as BT. It doesn't fit the BT timeline, but could be made to fit, if you think it will help the collab move forward. Great song, and great start, guys! There are other isolated tracks on YT as well.

Hey, Buddy thanks for this I was having a real bear of a time with this chorus until I came upon a YT vid and I realized I was giving this chorus the respect it deserved. There is a LOT going on. The video I am talking about shows sillouettes (sp) of the members hair and has two versions. This will be moving forward this week as I'm hoping to leave it behind as one of the "good ones" cause brother do I get OCD and spend terrifying amounts of time on these collabs and still sound bad. It's something I believe I can fix and I will come back and hopefully redeem myself to the wonderful people many I think of as friends and my 6 months of "almost done" has strained a few of these people and I understand completely. So Copycat, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak about this. I may need to recruit you if interested on a couple of these choruses. I know you have the voice for it. P34c3rested

Fuss_Mussington The OCD hit me hard on this one. I spent hours on that short guitar solo track. Just try your best.

@Fuss Mussington: Yes, I found the video you're talking about. Excellent tutorial on covering each chorus part. Could be very useful to BV singers in this collab. However, there may not be any, if no one is invited for BVs. But anyway, to anyone who wants to learn how the chorus is sung correctly, this video tells everything there is to know about each of the three vocal parts. And like he says in the video, each part is very likely doubled to get that super fat chorus sound.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BCtoS9y3CU

@brijamcam: I know you've already covered that guitar solo beautifully, but I thought you might find this video interesting... Taught by the man himself... Maybe you've already seen this.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AukoyAGMKrk

@CopyCat : Yes. Thanks. I came across it in my research when I covered this song. He's super talented. It's a very creative solo and fits the song perfectly.
