Members eethier Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Allright I want you guys to listen to this brain storming of a song I wrote like 3 months ago, I think its a bit "too much" but I didn't take extra time to mix it since then. Its recorded with a cheap acoustic and a cheap mic but it gives an idea of the song. I ain't the singer i'm only doing the back vocals and pretty much every sketchy guitar tracks except the middle solo (its another friend doing it). Anyway enjoy... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=409902&songID=3706777 by the way after 2 years of playing guitar i'm finally getting better, a new song is coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ToxicBass Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Has a kind of Steely Dan groove going on in the beginning. I'd try to delelop it further with that in mind. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=481684 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janusmanus Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 you have certainly got better after two years of guitar playing:) toxic is right it should be developed but how?it will be hard to make it more versatile without shortening the lyrics.with the present form the only thing that comes to my mind is the gradual addition of percussion,beginning as it is and developing into something more vigorous throughout.you have done everything for guitar developement but the percussion is monotous. other than that the song is different sounding for me and thats good. also putting the right hand solo electric guitar somewhere in between front centre and right would be better. it clashes with other instruments from the same source.

Members eethier Posted March 30, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 You're right, the percussion is a vocal loop and me hitting my acoustic guitar I can't stand drum machines for folk... very nice suggestions so far, its nice to hear from other perspectives... I got a better song coming... stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spiltmilk_2000 Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 I agree this shows lots of promise and does have a steeley dan quality about it. You should have a listen to some of their bv's though as they are the kings of doing harmonies that are a counterpoint to lead vocals. I think you could try doing that later in the song rather than having the harmonies following the lead melody so closely right the way through. it has some really nice unusual chord changes in a couple of places too... Nice!Russ x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
