After learning your Pentatonic Rock lesson, I thought I would try to compose something in E Pentatonic. It's short and not too sweet but it's a start.

Sounds really good! I like your riff, it reminds me of like a bruce springsteen thing or something. Maybe the lead part is a little too loud, but I really like it.

I just replaced the first version that I posted. I am currently using a Line6 Toneport to connect my quitar into Acid Pro. I have no concept of mixing and mastering. |

Sounds better to me! Not to be nitpicky but you were slightly off beat at one point in the intro, which is a pretty important part
 It's a cool riff though.

I just did version 3 and replaced my first post. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. I am hoping that Gabriel is going to give me some tips on composition and recording. His lessons are the main reason that I joined this site and I must say that it was money well spent. |

Since it is better than I am able to play at this point, I have no advice, but I like it. And I did listen to the first one earlier and the last one does sound more polished. I would go ahead and finish it.
-------------------- Had a guitar hanging, just about waist high, and we are going to play these things until the day we die. |

It sounds better every time
 What it really needs is some bass now. This post has been edited by JVM: Aug 27 2007, 11:44 AM -------------------- Gear: Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster, Gibson '67 RI Flying V, Mesa Boogie F-30 112 combo, crazy pedals. |

I really like the intro riff! I think that it would sound better if you add 3 points to the tempo (just a suggestion
)Well, I think that you should continue this idea and create a song! gabriel.- pd: What mic and soft are you using to record it? The lead guitar seams to has been recorded directly conected from the amp to line in. -------------------- Visit my Personal Board

The lead guitar seams to has been recorded directly conected from the amp to line in. I use a Line6 Toneport to connect my quitar via usb into Line6 Gearbox (mic/amp sim). I record using Acid Pro. I will rerecord with your recommended faster tempo and I will use a different Gearbox sim for the solo. Concerning creating a song, do you have a suggested chord progression that you feel would work as a chorus or bridge? Thanks for your time, Rich |

Thanks for your time, Rich I have a suggestion for a chord progression for the chorus, rather simple but it should work , basiclly it's C, D, Em, G(all In power chord form)Ok now I got a diffrent suggestion for the chorus. I think it's better, so it's B, A, B, E, B, A, B, E(but an octave higher), and avecourse all basic power chords. This post has been edited by Iluha: Aug 30 2007, 02:50 AM -------------------- |

I like the BABE progression but when I tried to make it fit in with the existing I found myself making a slight change. I am posting a mp3 of my midi file with the new arrangement before I rerecord. Let me know what you think. Thanks for the response. This post has been edited by richgrafx: Aug 30 2007, 10:30 AM

QUOTE (JVM @ Sep 1 2007, 11:23 PM) Are you still going to record this? It's been a bad week. Had a coworker pass away this week and the funeral was today. Finally sat down tonight to record and within 5 minutes I pop my A string.  Now I just spent 20 minutes looking through my junk and I have no strings on hand.  I will reload and try again tomorrow if the guitar shop here is open on sunday.

Thanks Symon, that is an excellent idea. My only concern is that the piece does not do her justice.
