    So, I got a new guitar today from my grandfathers collection, smoked a few bowls, and sat down with my recording equipment and just started playing. This is what came out (I recorded this demo, which is an intro to a longer song), and it's given me an idea for an album concept. Take a listen and tell me what you think. I didn't think about what I wrote, I just wrote it, which is a new approach for me.

    I used photos of me in the slideshow I uploaded so there is no confusion on the composer.

    Also, there are no drum tracks, vocal tracks or anything. It's all guitar - raw audio.

    The middle section was mostly an improv thing. It's intended to be more...soundscape-ish -- and interesting, but unknown break, sort of...idk. lol

    I dont like Jimmy Page...I just think the screeching sounds lazy...like hes dragging along a string instead of across it..I dont know guitar but I hate that sound..its like chalkboard fingernails


    but like I said...the second half...after about 1:14 was really good[​IMG]

    In the beginning, there is a track that's nothing but sliding sounds. I liked the sound of the strings. I didn't really spend much time mixing or anything, so it doesn't really blend too well in this recording.

    pagey or not, ya gotta get over it. Unless you are a classical guitar fan just about ALL guitar players have imperfect technique. Show me a perfect technique player in rock and I will show you a guitarist devoid of feeling. :hat:
