   My first song
  This is my attempt at a song.  The sample I'm giving you is a scratch version.  No lyrics, it's not the full length song, and it's not the best quality.  (Wasn't focusing).  Can you guys give me some feedback?  Is it good or bad?  Sucks crap or decent?  Anything you don't like?  Thanks.------------------------Song 1Copyright © 2003 CHRecords.

  Excellent! I should''ve learned how to play the guitar :-\Anyways, you might want to invest in a couple bass traps for your room... or record under a blanket next time and the sound quality will be fucking awsome ;  Thanks.  BTW, I''m not sure what bass traps are...but....Ah, I''m 60% done with lyrics.  Got the main chorus done...  I''m almost friggin complete with the song! tcacheContact Me-----------AH!

I want some serious feedback...   tcacheContact Me-----------AH!  MY BRAIN IS GOING TO SELF-DETONATE! -- Yours Truly (Jan, 2003);quote:Original post by Tazel  Guys, I''m being serious...  I want some serious feedback...    I don''t have time right now... I downloaded it and I''ll listen to it tomorrow. ;  I have to be honest, and say I didn''t like it. The main problem is it isn''t really a song, it''s a bunch of chords strummed on a guitar (and a few bonus twangs)... No matter how great it could be, it''s very hard to get an impression of it without lyrics, percussion etc.Also, a lot of the chord transitions seemed a little hesitant, this really spoils the rhythm. I''m guessing you haven''t been playing the guitar that long, and I have to say don''t give up. If you have enough natural creativity, you''ll end up producing some really excellent material. ;  Yes I know.  I told you, it''s the scratch version.  Nothing but the main melody of the guitar.  Nothing else.  And it itself is shortened.  And in my OP, I stated that i wasn''t focusing 100%.  I''ll put up another version soon.  A better one.  Maybe with some percussion.  Thanks for the feedback though.  I appreciate it.   tcacheContact Me-----------AH!  MY BRAIN IS GOING TO SELF-DETONATE! -- Yours Truly (Jan, 2003);  It''s pretty good. Better than I expected. The playing was a bit sloppy, and that four note "solo-like thing" in the middle of the song needs to be either longer (either make it longer, or increase the length of each note), and clearer. Otherwise it''s pretty decent. And you better be able to sing better than Red Sweater when you record your vocals.  ------------------------------BASIC programmers don''t die, they just GOSUB and don''t return. ;  Not bad but you need to practice your chord changes, they sounded hesitant. Maybe it was that, or the strumming pattern was off (or both ). Anyway add in the lyrics and make an "acoustic" version first. And also that middle solo-thing..yeah I agree.Of course you could rope in a friend to play rhythm guitar and then you could make a real solo / lead part...that would make it a lot more interesting even without lyrics.
