Hi Kyle,
When writing the guitar bits (lead and rhythm) do you think in terms of scales or modes or just play what sounds good? Because my scalar knowledge is int vast and i feel i limit my self when thinking of scales. But the problem hits me when trying to fill in a solo because i dont know what key im on. -------------------- __________________________

QUOTE (Kyle Logue @ Feb 11 2008, 02:53 AM) I like the first one as well, but I think I'm going to keep pushing forward with the techno-ish one. I appreciate the feedback though. I may add drums to it, but I haven't decided yet. Of course man !!  I just wanted to say how it sounds to me , doesn't mean thats the right way to go  Happened to me a lot of times when composing to develop some ideas and than after a quite some progress just go back to place it originated and go in a completely different direction

QUOTE I don't hate Bogdan for making this comment. When it comes down to writing songs...it's about personal preference. I can understand that the previous version might sound better to Bogdan, but it's important that you write songs in a way that is fun for you. Personally, I think the newest version of the recording is more fun. People will always have their opinions of your music....when 1 person doesn't like it....3 more will. It's important to take criticism of your work with an open mind and not take it as an insult. Thanks for your feedback Bogdan! This is a very good advice Kyle!! To add a word or two..People will often give you their own opinions about your songs , and not always they are going to be same as yours..You should listen to everyone and try to think why they said that...Don't get insulted easily, thats a bad way to go..Also know that there is no such song that everyone will like, opinions are bound to be divided... I like the idea of rap singing in verse, and nice lyrics so far! -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

QUOTE (eddiecat @ Feb 13 2008, 12:20 AM) Hy Kyle, you definitely are a very talented musician. I adore this thread. I'm into doing BTs and playing guitar myself, but I only started 6 months ago, so don't be mad at me if I snatch some of your ideas!  This is great! Cheers, Eddie Thanks! haha...all I ask is that if you use a song in it's entirety that you give me credit. I don't mind at all if you steal a riff from me that I completely stopped using and use it as your own or even if you create something that derived from my work. I actually made a topic about this exact thing! If you learn anything from this topic and use it in your own work...I wanna hear it! Be sure to stop by my forum and create a topic so I can hear how I've inspired you! |

I'd never "steal" a musical idea! But I'll sure post things I come up with! All the best, Eddie |
