My new "song"

Hey all, I just came up with this. I basically played around on GarageBand while it was recording. I'm sorry that it is so long, it is pushing a half hour of just guitar stuff, but I don't know what you would classify it as. Jazz? Flamenco? Blues even? lol anyways, if you do listen I'll personally buy you a candy bar!
Feedback is always greatly appreciated

i like the first minute but its like 20 minutes long so thats all i listened to

lol, yeah I wanted to give fair warning about the length! thanks for listening, but it isn't really all that repetitive throughout either.
Thanks for the listen :)

if you make it through the whole thing you deserve a Medal of Honor or whatever equivalent there is to that. lol

well rite after i typed that i hadd nuffin to do so i listen to the whole thing it was long but it sounded good for a 20 min song

thanks man

Dude thats almost 30 minutes!! im listening right now,be back in 30 minutes lol

lol thanks for listening, its probably going to be the entire soundtrack to a movie! lol jk
nice to see people up as late as me :)
Thanks again, brave soul, for venturing forth into the mystic world of 20+ minute songs. lol

Well,one of my Favorite Bands,Dream Theater,My Favourite song By Them Is 42 Minutes long,And There is a Shpongle Album which is totally continous,so yeah im kinda into that kind of long songs lol

This really was noddling,ive got just 3 Suggestions!

1.- Work On Your Technique,even if you're just messing around with some slow tempo improv,make it sound clean!!

2.- Try focusing on something,actually make a song! even if its a simple melody with simple chords,take a central point and then expand it,use your imagination!!

3.- Analyse some songs that you like,see how they're structured,and try copying it,just for the sake of experimentation!!

Bonus: Use Your ears!! they're your best friends!! i know no theory at all,i just use my ears,and i must say they really help!

42 minutes...wow. lol
I did notice on the playback on the 3rd time around(yes I have listened to it 5 times now) that in some parts my playing was sketchy at best, I was disappointed about them but, oh well, it happens. Thanks for input and ideas

haha yeah man,my suggestion is,learn as much music as you can,and if you are attemping to be a lead player,play lots of lots of solos!! improvise over jam tracks and songs,thats the way to go!

well, that is my goal, and I am lead guitarist in my band, actually right now I'm the only guitarist...haha!
Thanks for the suggestions and such though man. well, its almost 3 am for me so I'm out.

amen, AlexB!

i 'noodle a LOT muhself' and always will (its what i do between students , for one ex.) and while i wont go into the aesthetics (as they are your own) I will give my 2-cents re the playing.

----(keep in mind i aint 'mean" - just honest")-----

that was quite sloppy sounding to these ears and i think i know why and can help. =)

playing that slowly is far far far harder than playing much much faster.
exclamation mark + period.
folks use gnomes (metronomes)a lot to practice with yet 90% of the time use them to "speed up"
DO THE OPPOSITE
set yer gnome at a mid speed , say 120bpm-1/4-notes, for example.
learn a lick OR IMPROVISE to this tempo ...
THEN
dial it down to 110, 100, 90, 80, etc...
you will find that this, while maddening (lol), will vastly improve your 'inner-clock' , far more so than increasing the speed will (time-tested-true) !
really-give it a try....

other than that KEEP EXPLORING !


and , as always...

RAWK!

hey cs, thanks for being honest, I greatly appreciate it :) I have noticed many parts where my playing wouldn't pass my test, but it'll help me get better.
Thanks for the tips
