David H Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I'm planning to purchase this backing track, if anyone wants to solo over this with me!https://yohankimmusic-global.com/backingtrack/?idx=72 I could probably edit the mp3 to make the solo part extended & accommodate each of us playing 16 bars or solo. I know X-mas season is always busy for everyone, so how about we target end of January 2021? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy S Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hi, David, I would be up for this. Can you somehow reply so I can know you're in touch with me. I'm new to Piano with Johnny so I've never taken part in any community projects before. Does Johnny cover this tune on any of his videos? Tim Stevenson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 <Disclaimer> This Youtube video is NOT a public link. Please do not distribute outside here. The Solo section starts from Bar 22. Each of us can - have 16 bars of solo. - play the finale (Bar 71 & 72) Depending on how many people we have, I can add (or remove) extra sections by editing the backing track. And for the finale, I'll split screen so that we have everyone playing together. I'll upload the backing track sometime this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 To be respectful of the original arranger, I've decided NOT to post the entire backing track as a single file. You can support Yohan by purchasing the entire track at https://yohankimmusic-global.com/backingtrack/?idx=72 for less than $5. Instead, I've re-compiled the backing track into smaller bits that would contain your solo section. Each MP3 includes the intro + solo section + as well as the ending, all combined as one. Simply pick any one of the attached files, work on your solo, then send me the finished recording by end of Jan 2021. (extended to Mid-Feb, 2021) And I'll stitch everything together and post on PWJ FB Group. Recommended settings for Video : Horizontal / Landscape mode, with resolution 1920 x 1080 Audio : Either with or without the backing track. File Format : MP4, MOV, MPEG4 preferred (most supported by iPhone/Android phones) File Name : Watermelon Man - B (section info) - John Doe (your full name).mp4 You can use https://wetransfer.com/ to send me your finished file to mr.hahn+pwj@gmail.com Thanks for your participation!

Laura U Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Are we supposed to play the ending, which I assume is the last 3 bars, exactly as you have notated here? Or may we improvise on that also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura U Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 It comes out too light when I try to print it--I can't read it. I will have to take staff paper and write it out myself. H3ll, it's only 3 measures. Later: OK, i wrote it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
