Feedback for my music, please.

Heres something my friend wrote and sent to me for a little input. My piece is the second little lead guitar section. He used a good quality mike and guitar, I used my ****ty guitar and iPad mike, so you can tell a difference in the sound quality.

Just wanted to see what you guys think. Some feedback would be great, mostly on my part. It's something's a literally improvised right off the top of my head. I don't even know why I'm posting it, it needs a lot of work. Guess I just want some opinions.

Which are you talking about? I deleted the link on the one entitled "cp" because I've planned on posting a more updated version.

Here's something new that I'm working on. The audio quality is terrible. And I don't Play it very smoothly, but you get the idea. Honest tips and feedback, please.

YouTube - 7/20

If you do stick with the mellow side maybe try some kind of sparse piano type lead, just 1 or 2 notes between the synth swells, I'd slow it down a little as well.

I really felt the Diablo/Tristram vibe as well!

Great job on the music!

Also listened to your most recent uplolad! Planning to put any vocals on this one?

Thanks, man. Im not much of a singer, but it's still in the work. I'm still trying to finish the music to it. What did you think of the most recent one? Just remember all of my stuff is pretty low quality Audio. I've been recording with my ****ty acoustic through the iPad mic. It'll sound a lot Better when I get an interface.

Strum the last chord fully (I think it's a Gmaj), and let it ring out, or for an end tag go up the octave. Just a personal taste thing tho.

Gmaj
-----3
-----3
-----0
-----0
-----2
-----3

Gmaj (octave)
-----15
-----15
-----0
-----X
-----X
-----X

If it's not a G, then just adjust to the root. Also, my tab and chord knowlegde suck... just an FYI.

Which part are you talking about, plankton? Could you give me the time mark in the song so i know exactly what you're talking about.

Plankton · 07-25-2012, 01:31 PM

The very last chord. I'm a fan of good endings, and instead of just dropping off like it currently does, it would be better to my ears to have a nice rung out chord that fades out at the end.

For a good example, the end of Super Tramps' Give A Little Bit.

blastingas10 · 07-25-2012, 03:22 PM

Ah I see what youre saying. It's not really finished. I'm not sure how to end it or where to go with it from here. It's just too short. Id like to see someone take what I have so far and add to it, just out of curiosity because I'm stumped.

It sounds great man! It has kind of a bittersweet feeling which reminds me a little of early William Ackerman, though more upbeat. I think the only criticism I have is that the transition at 1:15 seems a little abrupt.
