Members blue2blue Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi, Phait! We've been secretly trying to pull you into the SW forum for a while now. I'm not absolutely sure your song fits our work in progress only rule* -- but if it's the first song you've finished in 2 years, we don't want to discourage you with an over-insistence on the rules. And, if you might end up changing it for the full album, I think we can call that a work-in-progress. *You can get up to speed with the '6 basic, no-nonsense rules' in our Guidelines/Resources sticky. ____________________ The long, moody intro will work for some -- and does help set up the full blast part about half way through the song and the introduction of the equally moody fuzz lead. This really feels like it might make a good intro or maybe outro track for an album. (The song's own outro might be a little lingering to use the track as track one on an album... but then, really, that would depend on track two, y'know? ) Instrumental tracks often generate less detailed commentary here in the SW forum, but that shouldn't be seen as any sort of short shrift, I don't think. It's just that talking about words tends to generate more words (and then more discussion of those words ). But an instrumental, on the other hand, is often trickier to helpfully critique, particularly for those of us who lean more toward intuition than theory. Often, one's appreciation of an instrumental track is tied up in vibe and personal preference and sometimes that's hard to articulate. Which, of course, is why we often find ourselves talking about arrangement elements (part of our bailiwick by default as much as anything) or production elements (we try not to get bogged down in aspects covered in other HC forums, but, well, you know, these things get pretty well swirled together in the creative/productive process).

Members oldgitplayer Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 I enjoyed the understated and controlled discordance as a backdrop for the purely melodic lead guitar that makes a later entrance.Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phait Posted February 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 I enjoyed the understated and controlled discordance as a backdrop for the purely melodic lead guitar that makes a later entrance. Well done. I hadn't thought of it that way, but makes sense. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
