What I have here are demo songs that I put together. None of these songs are nowhere near complete. I have been playing guitar for about 3 years and decided that I wanted to start making music for fun. These demos were made to practice some song making using original riffs that I came up with. I just what some feedback, positive or negative. I really don't know what other sites to go on but I just want that extra push to make some quality music.

I made it through 20 sec's of everysong. Sorry not my kind of thing but the recordings were pretty good. I think heavy rockers will like your stuff.

It wasn't that bad, considering that the guitar line and the drum beat just can't seem to get together.

I'm guessing that you think that's ok.
It sounds off and sloppy as hell to me.

But the material wasn't all that bad, some was fairly good.

Also the recording was garbage in that, you can tell the sh*t is clipping like mad and recording levels were just way too loud.

Do it again and this time, do it right.

Your timing has to mesh, it's not a contest.
Your volume has to be in check, else it's amateurish and incorrectly recorded.

Yeah it's awfully modern, not my cup of tea but easy to see where you went wrong and wouldn't be hard to fix. Otherwise, I've heard worse and I've heard better. I don't like the genre but for me to think it's not that bad is a boon for you as a writer.

NEXT !!!

You are absolutely right, this is stuff I did in like 30 minutes to 1 hour. You are right about the timing, I recorded with no metronome. The only demo that I recorded with a metronome was the DUBROCK TEST which was on 140bpm. It is pretty heavy stuff since I'm tuned in D-standard and Drop C.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I feel extra motivation now to make some quality stuff. This is coming from a guy who can't read music(only tabs), a self taught guitar player, and with absolutely no knowledge on music theory.

Oh then you are doing quite well.

Make more, try to get drums in sync with the guitar.

I don't typically like modern too much, but yours wasn't bad.
Like I said, set your volume and levels down a tad and you'll get a better recording!!!
