Sorry.
I'm a dickhead.
I hate myspace.
I'd love to listen to your work right here though.

Please ?

Ok I went, I listened, and it was good.

But

I have to ask

What do you want people to hear in your music.

Because

If its just "Blues Rock instrumental"

Yawn

i can't upload it to here i'm afraid.. i only have a ps3, no PC


to RGM ; i'm not sure exactly what i want people to hear.. i agree that just blues rock instrumentals would be dull.. those pieces are demos really, all conceived & recorded in one or two days & while i like them as pieces they are not really "complete".. i guess basically i'd like to be reassured that they're pretty good & so if i was in a band, for instance, with a "charismatic" & talented singer i/we could really create something exciting, interesting, sexy &/or great.. you know? anyways , thanks for listening.

big band blues live... = A- ( the change isn't doing it for me, else i like it.)

pooptashin = D (wtf is this)(get rid of the add 5th effect, it's weak)

marcus = C, albeit too basic. Red House mod with not enough mojo.

i Aim to please = B, all tunes dying for some vocal anything. This tune could be a flagship for you with right lyrical content/track.

Wow, different, but it was good...someone smells of funk.. lol

ahh i like the change..but criticism is welcomed & appreciated.. if not liked

it's 3rds & no effect.. another guitarist.. also 5ths & 3rds at the "other bit"
was meant to be a homage/parody of 80's music & theme tunes.. plus i love guitar harmonies..

not enough mojo..? i played my wittle heart out against a superior opponent.. i'm the guitar with wah-wah, marcus is the one without..

flagship cool.. that track did have vocals but they were rap-styled so i asked for a copy without the vocal track..

again thanks for listening, it's always informative to have a more musical criticism.. "regular folk" say silly things like "well done" or "that sounds nice"

This forum is like "riding the razor"..

No one wants to see ya bleed, but they do give you the unabashed truth.
(whether you like it or not)

Swampy blues played with some aplomb! nice mate!

When I saw the decription "blues / experimental / progressive" I was intrigued, to say the least.

Your stuff is interesting, but it gets too predictable to be either experimental or progressive as I go down the list of tunes.

I'm glad you removed the rap vox, but your stuff isn't really strong enough, melodically, to stand on its own. It needs vocals - strong vocals.

Your playing is perfectly okay, for what it is. It doesn't blow me away or anything. I was hoping for more progressiveness, though, & found myself disappointed when the songs became more predictable as I went along.

Keep at it. Find a good singer. Try to surprize us a bit more than the same old bluesy stuff, if this is what you're advertising that you play, cuz I'd really like some key changes, time sig changes, alternate instruments & such. It's be like Gentle Giant does the blues.

In all, I agree with the good Capt on his assessments of your work.
