I like composing random things XD well I try ^^

I'm working on this song, without a name as of yet. Its code named Life 2 in the time being:phow creative ^^

http://www.sendspace.com/file/3nva90

Its just the solo, I'm still working on everything else though. I recorded the rhythm first, then lead, then bassline, then finally I added a beat by tapping the microphone (thanks for the idea Tommy Emmanuel XD *worships*) and hitting my drum sticks together ^^.

I recorded it using my favourite setup XD. My Squier Strat, Marshall MG15CDR, cheap no brand headset microphone, my dad's laptop and Audacity. Portable recording studio woot! XD. The mic is kinda junky as is the guitar so its really rough.

Some of the timing is a bit off but, its just a sample ^_^ so this will become famous someday when I'm a big rock star:cool:and you guys heard it first XD. I wish *sigh*:rolleyes:we can dream ^_^

Random indeed, but not bad, got that Santana feel to it. I'm thinking this might work out better if played on acoustic guitar? Melody is still on the mellow side for me ^^;

There's only one thing I'm gonna say about the background beat : go take drumming lessons!!! Either that or find your old metronome and use it :p
Your bass is pretty solid, rhythm is ok .... but something about the tempo bugs me ... can't pin point what it is, but something is off o.O!

Not the best I've heard from you, but not a bad random composition at all ... any chance of you finishing this one? :p

Santana? Haha, my guitar playing doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence as Santana! x3

I'll charge up my old 9V batteries so I can get the metronome working! I think I'll leave it for the moment since its just a sampler to see what it sounds like. I'll record it all properly with my band next time we all meet up ^^.
