Project two, chop tool, FPC, transpose

For this project, I worked with FPC, and the chop tool and transpose tools. I looked through most of the chop tool options and i settled with trance 6. I used a relatively long progression for the verse, and shorter ones for the two lead guitar parts. Then i found an FPC rock drum beat that i thought would go with the guitar part. Next i added a bass line that followed the guitar notes and then used the chop tool. When i was coming up with the fast guitar arpegio pattern, i used a minor arp. then down a whole step to a major, then down a whole step to another major. I also changed some of the notes to add in flavor notes i might play if i was really playing the pattern. The next arpegio pattern i used different chop tool options to make a different progression with major, minor and sevenths. Then i finished the song with the begining riff and a drum fill that i used several times in the song.

  1. The guitar was nice and the bass line went very well with it, very nice use of the transpose tool. I particularly liked the use of the drums to transition between parts of the song. Very well done.

  2. hey zach, great loop. love the guitar loop and the bass, its great how the bass follows the guitar when it changes pitches and things. The drums i think could've been a bit louder and i think that first drum fill/solo thing doesnt really fit well but other than that everything was perfect. nice work
