Maybe you read it on off-topic, but I will need to pause a few days as I injured my wrist during a soccer game. Hopefully it will recover fast with my supernatural human genes.

Hey Gab! So, as I was not able to play to play lately, I started yesterday, but not to full extent.
Therefore, I just went with a chord progressnion: B minor, F #, E Maj, F and added a few melodies on b-minor scale. It is fully improvised, just to learn playing on scales. What do you think? https://soundcloud.com/tim-heger-962320112/...-le-ai-elements By the way: is there any tip on how to move forward from a certain chords progression? Like use the maj 3rd or maj 5th of the root note or whatever? How do you progress after you found a first idea/riff/melody? This post has been edited by Roadside: Aug 22 2017, 07:10 AM |

Hi mate! That sounds really good! I like it.
There are no rules in music, if it sounds good to you it's ok. However, there are concepts, and techniques that will help you to create effective chord progressions. You need to know about scales, tonalities, chord functions, modal interchange and modulation. Most of this things can be learnt by reading about theory, but it's also important to analyze music. For song analysis, I strongly recommend getting into The Beatles. This man made the most amazing song analysis ever and he covered every Beatles song: http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/DATABA...-notes_on.shtml This thread will also help: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=15794 -------------------- My lessons

Hey mate!
Nice!! Great to see you working on your original music! Those riffs sound very fresh to me. I can hear some influences from post hardcore, punk, and some mathcore too. I noticed that you started adding some vocals but just in a small part. Do you have any idea of the structure of this? Can you identify parts like verse, chorus, part C, and so? If not, it would be interesting if you get into some of your favorite bands and analyse their music. We've talked a bit about this at this thread. Have you tried it? -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate, thanks for the info!
I can say that I like the style. I'll comment all the things that come to my mind when listening to this, some of these ideas are surely subjective, or maybe most of them, but I think that honest comments is what you need at this point. I like the style of the song, the vocals "colour", the groove, and the lead melodies. The lead vocals make me think one The Doors, The Cult, but the overall style make me think on more modern post punk revival bands like The Vaccines or maybe The Hives with a darker feel, like Interpol, Artic Monkeys, and a bit of QOTSA. Based on the bands that I've listed, I feel that the sound of drums, bass, and more specially guitars are not totally connected with the style of the song. I would experiment with guitar tones with less gain, more vintage style, and the same for other instruments. A different type of sound would make you play other type of arrangements and guitar solos. This songs are just as a sample of the type of production, but I don't mean that your songs should sound like that. I mean that it could sound cooler with some influence from these type of bands, just explore these styles. About the arrangements, I feel that there is too much information all the time. I would try trying to have less information on verses to let the chorus have more impact when it starts. Analyse how your favourite songs are arranged in this way, notice how each part is arrangement to let the song flow smoother. -------------------- My lessons
