My first song!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU6BD...e=channel_page
I was looking to get some feedback concerning this little sketch. This is my first time attempting to "write" something and it was pretty challenging overall. This is by no means a finished piece. I'll use the feedback I get here to change things up and post it again -- hopefully in a more cleaned up and musically sensible form. THANKS EVERYONE!! |

Nicely done. I dig the overall rhythm and use of harmonics. Nice tone too!

Very nice groove you set up--your playing is very loose but precise at the same time. I don't know how you guys do that kind of stuff, with all the percussion and harmonics..... Your technique is excellent!
The end caught me a bit by surprise. I thought it might resolve back to the opening riff again or that it still had somewhere to go when it just sort of ended.

I agree 100%. In the finished version, it'll definitely resolve back to the main theme. I've got a few other little turn-around licks and ornamentations that arent present now, but will be (hopefully) in the finished version. I'm still not entirely sure how I want to end this thing, though. I've got the PERFECT ending chord, though!

Thanks! I was wondering if the harmonics were too much. It's really easy to overdo it with them.

Brian, nice playing, and I really enjoyed the song. May I make a request? Next video, please include your head...just a personal pet peeve of mine is watching a headless guitar player on youtube!! It's like watching just the feet of a dancer, as if only the feet are involved in dance!! If you're shy and don't want to reveal your face, wear a hat pulled down over your eyes, wear large sunglasses, or even a paper bag, but show a whole human playing the guitar.

Great stuff, Brian. I like the moodiness of the piece and how it evolves into a groove that had me nodding my head to the beat. I wanted it to go on longer and to have a decisive ending. I look forward to hearing the "finished" work.

First song, huh? I could listen to an entire album of playing like that. Better get to work, Brian. You only have 9 songs to go for your first 10 song CD.

That's a great song, love it. Really great overall feeling to it. If that's your first attempt at writing - I'm looking foreward to your next songs! It really starts out like you want to hear the whole song.
What guitar is that, by the way? |
