Location: Newington, CT | "All the other pieces?" I've posted precisely two (2!) songs asking for comment in over six months.
Appreciate the information about tuning...no I was not aware of that, and no, my ear is not particularly good.
The theory stuff is way above my head. Note to self: start to educate self in music theory.
The rest of your post is just silly self-indulgence, aka: entertainment.
You're a one-note Nellie, schroeder.
Oddly enough, YOU were the one, mentioned slightly above, who exhorted us all to post something of our own before we criticized the bad Mexican Beatles imitator. THERE's some irony fer ya! |

(I'll leave it to someone else more knowledgeable to comment on "what makes music listenable." Bigger topic than I'M ready or able to take on!) |

Location: chicago | Alan,I really like it and I understand where your coming from....Ive always approached recording anything with the intent of telling myself,I dont know if its good or bad but theres something thats driving me to keep capturing moments in time thru recordings.Its a bit self indulgent for anyone of us to listen to ourselves and go wow im really good?Since you are playing to apease yourself,dont let anyone dictate where you should put what.I commend you for the insperation it takes just to get the first two parts going,witch drives the next two parts etc..many times I come up with tiny nuggets that I hang onto waiting sometimes years for the rest of the song to come out.In the end the recordings wont lie,and you can put little filler in spots of your songs as opposed to blowing your wad in the first 28 seconds.I will say this for sure...DUDE YOU ARE HAVING FUN USING THE SHIT YOU BOUGHT.Right?

Location: Newington, CT | Many thanks for the words of encouragement, Jeff! You described the state of mind -- the frustrations as well as the moments of euphoria -- square on the nail. And you're absolutely correct. I'm enjoying everything I bought immensely! Thanks again!
