Any of you guys record what you play? Post it here. I'd like to listen to it.
I'll share mine too, but only if someone actually cares to hear it.
What do you play OP?
>>26945509
Guitar. Mostly electric, but sometimes I play acoustic as well.
>>26945477
I play guitar but I'm relatively mediocre at it, I can sing quite well though.
>>26945477
I'd crank my bagpipes out for you but my roomates are all fast asleep
>>26945706
I respect people who can sing. It's takes more skill than others realize. Your vocal chords are being used as a built-in instrument, which is fucking cool.
Any recordings of you singing and/or playing? That's what I'm really interested in.
>>26945804
That's a damn shame. (About your roommates).
How do you even learn the bagpipes?
>>26945832
You learn the scale and tunes on a small instrument called a chanter. Then finaly you buy a set of pipes and just keep practicing. They're fun as hell but I haven't being playing them as often as I should be.
Bands and highland games are really fun if you're into competing and getting drunk afterwards
I've played piano for like 14 years now
>>26945805
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0SbXwNoP9m5
I posted in a thread about this kind of stuff last night and i seemed to get a pretty good response. I do have a really bad cold right now so my voice is raspy as fuck though
>>26946240
Holy shit. Is that really you?
I had no idea someone with this kind of talent would be on /r9k/ of all places. Seriously. Well done, man!
>>26946320
Yeah it is. t-thanks senpai
>>26946240
>I struggle to look into your eyes.
Kek, turbo autism.
Still, it's ok, I think you could get laid with this jam anon.
>>26945477
I don't have any recordings of me playing random covers, but then again, instruments give me serious boredom. My only "analogic" instrument is my voice.
https://soundcloud.com/mightyravendark/horrible
This is me playing drums. The sound quality is fuck horrible though because I recorded it through my built in laptop microphone.
>>26946389
Well i actually wrote it about the one and only time i was with a woman and i couldn't get it up because i was too drunk.normie get out reee ect

Very poppunk haha, actually spawned this idea from listening to Switchfoot and FOB.
>>26946444

Same anon here, heres me messing on bass.
>>26946410
Sounds like youre beating this shit outta them well done!
>>26946410
It's cool, man. Not everyone has a whole studio to themselves whenever they record. I record with my phone's voice recorder.
I play bass and write some lyrics. Bet I could produce some good shit with a drummer
>pic of my guitars is too big for filesize
Oh well
>>26946690
Get a drum machine in the meantime, it's not ideal but it helps fill out your sound a lot more
Ok, people, it's 7:14 AM and I'm fucking tired, so I'm going to sleep. I will listen to anything you guys post when I wake up. Even if this thread gets archived.
So yeah, just discuss amongst yourselves and whatever.
If somebody asks, here is some crappy solo jams I did. (And named).
Again, these are improvisational jams, so excuse any mediocrity

>>26945477
I make electronic music on my laptop. Heavily invested in Sound Design.
Inspired by Trent Reznor, Damon Albarn and Boards Of Canada. Throwing in a garage influence, though. I'd link if I had anything of worth on my Soundcloud.
I play Guitar, Harmonica and melodica.
Keyboards too, but I'm naff.
>>26946240
Make album now. Upload to bandcamp. Post here.
>>26946414
You can play entry level guitar and have a good singing voice. Also, capable enough to write a song so, I never even assumed you were a100% robot.
Have you thought about experimenting with DAWs? Maybe trying to get into a band?
>>26946997
Any links?
>>26947038
In an ideal world i'd like to get a band together, like i say my guitar abilities aren't great so i'd like to be backed by better musicians.
>>26947012
i've probably got enough songs to actually make an album now tbf, whether anyone would like it is another matter.
>>26947038
I'll have to upload something to my Soundcloud.
I've not even mixed it down yet. But hold up, and I'll get uploading.
(My internets shit. So bare with)

Instruments I play very well:
Bass trombone, tenor trombone, euphonium, baritone, viola, and violin.
Instruments I can play well:
Trumpet, cornet, guitar, (electric and acoustic) drums, and bass guitar.
Instruments I can play:
Accordion, recorder, and clarinet.
>>26947333
Pretty decent effort desu, got any recordings?
>>26945477
Nice dubs
Classical guitar. I also play electric and a bit of bass. I've been doing some recordings of improvs on random boards for the last couple of days. Here's one I just did for this
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0wX8ipXLJq8
Also here, have some Bach (because why not)
http://vocaroo.com/i/s13UqOqEfaE3
>>26946240
Nicely done man
>>26946570
Nice tone. I liked this one better than the poppunk one.
I'm gonna improvise another one and come here again to keep checking the thread
>>26947388
Like it, wish I had as much ability on guitar
>>26946939
The ideas sound good, but they get monotonous when you repeat them that much without variation or something, try improvise a couple more of riffs within your improvisation sessions and then rotate between them.
>>26947333
Nice 3trips. I'm guessing you like Gentle Giant and Mike Oldfield :O
Huh, I thought more people had uploaded stuff. Well, I did another quick improv, didn't came out as I wanted, I need more skills!
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1afMTOLwNNr
>>26947507
Thanks! Years and years of practice, friend. And yet I'm still far away from the skills I wish I had, damn
>>26946909
Any idea if someone's gonna notice the lack of real drums in a song?
>>26947822
If you really can't find a drummer you'll just have to put up with a drum machine. I don't know really there's always session musicians but most don't come cheap
>>26947038
Here you go Anon. Finally Uploaded.
https://soundcloud.com/plastic_trees/new-beat/s-GuoHs
I play drums as well. I'm gonna record something now and post it when I'm finished.
>>26948159
Pretty alright anon, though a bit too slow evolving, atmospherically when paired up with that high tension percussion.
>>26948261
Yeah, I get what you mean. I'm planning on adding a bass type 'drop' (almost) during the middle. I hope that may help.
Mediocre acoustic guitar player reporting in. Who else /no motivation to become better/?
I have a guitar but i dont know how to play it
Can i learn it by myself without any teacher ?
A song I made a year ago. Hope you like it.

http://vocaroo.com/i/s067xiMoENKl
i can post my cd if anyones interested
>>26948366
I'm self taught, so yeah. Though having a teacher would be better.
Just YouTube tutorials for songs you like, that's usually a good place to start.
The first song I learned to play was 'Closing Time' by Semisonic.
Nice thread guys, it's always cool to hear this kind of stuff from other robots.
Here's a song I'm writing, still pretty early in its development but its something.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ueziVlwHns
>>26948366
Yeah, what the other guy said. It might be beneficial to get a teacher if that's an option but learning by yourself really isn't that difficult nowadays with the plethora of resources online.

We can talk via kik if you guys want to! My name is: Cold_Gin with a black and white shy guy as profile picture.
>>26945477
>Tfw I have all the skills and equipment to be a one man band
>Recording by myself is a god awful, frustrating experience and I will never do it
The only thing holding me back from being a rock star is lack of friends.
>>26949296
What kind of music you play?
>>26949299
Rock music I guess somewhere in the punk/metal/grunge variety. I tried to write metal back when I did have a band but it came out like punk music and I just rolled with it because I can't force out shit that isn't what I make naturally. I've never met a drummer or bassist better than me, I sing okay and the guitar in the music I play is generally pretty easy so I can get by on that. I have recorded before in the past and it just fucking sucks, even doing something easy by myself is a complete pain in the ass and isn't fun at all. If I'm going to play music alone then I'll just play it, recording and making a song is just a big hassle that nobody else would even listen to anyways. It's a shame, I've wanted to be a rockstar for like 12 years now and I'm just finally starting to give up, I've had the skills and drive to do it for years but I've never had bandmates outside of one small period of time for like a month. That didn't work out.
>>26949361
did it ever occur to you that striving to be a "rockstar" is kind of a silly thing to do?
>>26949596
Yeah, but who cares. It's what I want to do and I have a good time doing it. I never PLANNED on doing it exclusively because that would require some extraordinary luck, so I'm still getting a good education and stuff to have a more "realistic" future. Nothing wrong with having dreams though, right?
>>26949361
Let's start an online project. I can program drums, play guitar, and mix decently.
>>26949627
Are you serious? What do you have in mind?
>>26948858
>Holy shit that's great. I like your voice.
Thanks dude!
>>26949620
Alright that's fair. I've known a few people who are completely deluded into reaching a mostly futile goal like that, but at least you have a back up.
>>26949736
To be fair if I felt like I had a promising band going on I would drop university like a heart beat and put 100% into it, I would be willing to take that gamble if I had something worth gambling on.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=921363&content=music
I used to as a hobby. Haven't recorded anything since late 2010, and probably never will again. Forgive the stupid titles. First 3 recordings on the list are probably the only ones worth listening to if any.
>>26949833
Just sent senpai
none of these are very good
>>26950065
Why'd you stop? Sounds like you would have been really good by now had you kept going. Do you still play guitar at least?
i apologize for my bad english or my bad recording equipment
i had written a song for a girl and I had wanted to play it for her, but I did not play it for her. so I just have a song and I have no one to play it for
please listen to me play the piano and sing a song, for the girl with the most beautiful voice on the earth
i told her nothing compares with the sound of her song
she will spend her whole life believing I'm wrong
http://vocaroo.com/i/s18DAKqPhQy8
>>26950311
I know. That's kind of why I don't do it anymore.
http://www.vocaroo.com/i/s0OnfIoHAGGt
How'd I do
I'm primarily a bassist, and I do a lot of recording. Not great, but I have fun. Last year I recorded a song every day for about 300 days.
Did this the other day (Posted it in a similar thread here, too), liked how it came out. Extremely simple progression, but whatever.
https://soundcloud.com/funkalunk/the-town-where-only-dank-is-missing
>>26950563
i love you and i am interested to listen to more of your stuff
Here's a fragment of a song I wrote.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s03KqOqMr13k
I wrote it in spanish since it's my first language. I sing like shit tho. It's about not knowing how to make girls laugh. Kinda /r9k/ related.
>>26950311
please do not lie to them, these are good people who have done well
I'm 19, but I recorded sound like I'm 14...:(
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0aAKPBaOQOx
https://soundcloud.com/mrgamingassassin/like-idk
Could have sounded better but I almost broke my guitar because I got pissed and kept messing up.
People here who upload tracks: What's a good way to get people to listen? Some people I know just spam follow people on places like Soundcloud, but that seems disingenuous to me.
>>26950969
Maybe you should try doing a death growl. That fixes pretty much every metal song with a bad singer.
>>26951164
True, wish I could do deep ones like on early Cannibal Corpse albums :/
either than or try some like thrash metal vocals.
>>26947565
damn this is super relaxing
good work, I'm jealous
>>26950633
i like your stuff, it's chilling and somehow reminds me of the beatles and joy division even though it doesn't sound very much like it.
>>26946240
Vocal phrasing sounds a lot like Fiona Apple.
>>26951356
Thanks for listening, means a lot to me. Also thanks for the compliment!
>>26949155
>>26948752
Thanks for your feedback guys, I'd love to talk to you, for example via kik or other social media platforms. Just let me know, my name In kik is Cold_Gin, so we can maybe exchange some footage and maybe start something together.
Btw I am >>26948752 (the drummer).
Thank you! :)
>>26951537
Oops wrong number... I meant >>26949187 instead of >>26948752 (me). Sorry, I'm a little bit drunk atm.
Im mostly a porn voyagist. Sometimes i do play guitar inbetween porn sessions.
I lost my motivation to seriously play or write music many years ago, but here's a little riff from a song for you to guess, I think I got it rightish anyway
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1bjAxWyp2bt
This is the only thing I recorded that I have left and it was done years ago I guess and isn't really much of anything, I think I was just fucking around with the piano I had bought.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0w1r5Ro7Qsx
how do I get better at guitar lads? I'm self taught and I'm not that great, but it feels like I'm kind of stuck
shameless plug for this thing >>26948500
I feel like the melody is a bit too plain and just wanted some thoughts on that.
>>26951650
Learn open and bar chords, phrasing, scales and modes, and learn to play along to jam tracks.
>>26951686
It is. You have good skill but your song is kinda boring. Like it gets nowhere.
Maybe it's just my opinion, though. I guess some people like that style.
>>26951721
Thanks for the honest opinion. I definitely understand where you're coming from and it's something I need to work on. Though as I said it's still unfinished so maybe once I finish writing it and properly record it with overdubs and stuff hopefully it'll be a bit more interesting.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0g6t07PiASc
here is some guitar i did a while back
i have other recordings but i'm always drunk when i do it
>>26952108
nice work anon
I always wish I could play like this
i just played a gig last night. i play guitar.
i actually have a couple videos of me playing out live that are on youtube but i'm not posting them here

this is something else i did when i got shitfaced the other night. its recorded on my phone
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1FwBVMRpBHA
>>26952233
how long have you been playing? are you self taught?
>>26952328
i took a lesson once and basically the guy just showed me how to play one guitar riff i was curious about and i never went back to him he didn't teach me shit
i've been playing on and off for about 11 years I was a percussionist in school and trained my ear doing that and by learning songs by ear
i'll record something while i'm sober for you but my acoustic is missing a high e for like a year now and i just don't care enough to change it
>>26952207
but you should, let us hear what you're doing

>>26956954
Ukelele is normie as fuck bro. It's like "look at me I'm so quirky and special" when in reality it's just an objectively worse instrument to learn.
>>26956864
Yeah, but I get overwhelmed with all the options.
>>26957023
wow these were actually good! do you have any more by any chance?
>>26951650
>>26951717
This, also play the way you want to sound and learn what you're worst at and work at improving that, then when you get that find something else to work at. That's how I learned piano.

Anyone wanna take one for the team and comment on all the posts without any feedback.
I play french horn, but since I've only played for a year or so I'm rather shit. I can play clarinet too, but it's been a while

That's a pretty sick beat, senpai.
>>26957704
I've done it with some already but I don't know what to say about most of them.
If it counts, I've listened to everything in the thread, so even if you didn't get feedback someone listened to your music.
I don't suppose you guys like melodic death metal? Here's an instrumental cover I recorded of a TBDM song, "Raped In Hatred By Vines Of Thorn." I transcribed the drums to midi and recorded the bass and guitar parts
https://clyp.it/tdv25idl

I used to play all the time as a teenager, now I hardly touch it. Sorry about the audio quality, I have a decent microphone coming in the mail.

Not really my style but I congratulate your effort to put that together. I wish I had that kind of dedication.

1. Nirvana is fucking awesome.
2. I'm self taught too!
>>26959053
Why even ask? Just post it
>>26959111
Because I don't think anyone's going to listen to a 6 minute song made by some random stranger on the internet.
Plus, this thread seems to be dying down a bit and I want to see if anyone's even going to be around to listen to it.
>>26957272
Thanks for the confidence boost anon, I have a bunch more but I don't label them well and there's too many shit ones to sort through

Sweet trips, by the way.

I play electric guitar, I'm okay at it, not amazing, but okay.Everything past the first five tracks is shit, honestly.
p-pls n-no bully
>>26958132
I honestly can't tell what instrument this is. Piano?
>>26959706
I really liked 8. Did you record rhythm and lead by yourself, or did you have another guitarist?
Sounds very post-grunge inspired, by the way.
>>26959778
that's obviously a guitar, how bad are your headphones/speakers?
>>26959826
It's all me, recorded on separate tracks in Audacity. And thank you (about number 8)!
post-grunge, eh? I mostly listen to garage rock but I don't look to imitate anything really, just sorta find a sound I like in my head, you know?
>>26959885
Oh, fuck yeah. Garage rock. I see it now.
I kind of play garage rock type stuff, but I tune to C standard and use a fuzz pedal.
>>26959955
Yeah garage, I play/record in my bedroom though, usually use a delay pedal though to get a echoing effect since I haven't bought a reverb pedal yet.
Ah, nice. I'm too lazy to check the whole thread, did you post any of your stuff anywhere?
>>26959706
2 is my favorite, sounds pretty cool
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1JHIwAKjT4K
I don't know why I like playing this type of droney stuff
I don't record, but I probably will start to soon. I play the accordion, and I'm in a shitty folk rock band that plays on street corners.
Say what you will, but we make a shit ton of money.
>>26960221
sounds pretty cool fampai
you should get on recording some shit
>>26960063

Holy shit lmao, Cactus has the exact same chords as a song I had in mind that I haven't gotten round to recording yet, even the timing is incredibly similar, that's so weird, cool tune though for sure.
I love the sound of Ephemeral, reminds me of Diablo 1 for some reason ???? but yeah definitely another cool tune man, well done.
>>26960264
I have recorded myself playing, but I have a really shitty mic and it clips every couple of seconds so it sounds like I stop playing. I can still post them if you want, but they're incredibly shitty.
I know this is gonna be unpopular but I honestly think playing an instrument makes you normie as fuck
>>26960513
Thanks, man!
Did you listen to the whole thing of Cactus? That's my current favorite song. First thing I play when I pick up my guitar.
>>26960677
Well, you're a fucking idiot.
>>26960677
yea well Im 28, plah out live in bands, and I'm a kv neet
so bamplease kill me
>>26956834
Memorize a couple blues scales, practice to be able to play fast in key, and you're solid.
>tfw I'm 20, just started playing guitar, getting into a little music production and gonna start skateboarding soon
Life's good :)

>>26951686
I like this a lot, it vaguely reminds me of The Shins.
I think the vocal melody is good, but it's the static root note in the chord progression that makes it feel a bit bland. I think something as simple as throwing a Bb major in right before the progression turns around could add more of a feeling of movement to it
is it possible to become proficient at an instrument as an adult with no proper lessons or training?
I am a NEET with access to the internet, time will not be an issue
andt i do know how to read sheet music
>>26960848
Thanks man. I'm still working on that song so I'll hold off on posting lyrics, but I posted a link to a little EP/album thing I did not long ago here >>26954344
>>26961130
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try something like that out. I'm playing in an alternate tuning for that song so I'm not too clear on all the chord shapes and whatnot, mostly just figure it out by ear, but I'll definitely mess with it a bit.
>>26961201
Yes.
As long as you start getting proper training.
You can do everything.
You can walk into the vampire night club and kill every last sick, night prowling freak. Be the day walker. Be the blade.
>>26961201
Yes, of course it's possible. But it takes a shit ton of dedication and effort. The biggest part is you have to be okay with sucking hard at first. Most people give up when they figure out they're not going to get good in 3 weeks
>>26961235
I just realized I have now started two replies with "thanks man". I swear I'm not an android, I can say "thanks dude" as well.
>>26961201
Its better to take lessons. Alot of what I learned on the internet only worsened my technique. instructors can point out flaws in how you hold/play your instrument. It took me a while to un-fuck my guitar skills. even longer on piano.
>>26961201
think of it like learning a language
easy when you're young, difficult when you get older. it's kind of like that. you can learn to speak Russian at your age, but you'll never have an authentic Russian accent.
if this idea dissuades you then it might not be for you, most people learn an instrument because they are obsessed with it in some way and want to get better. if that thirst isn't there you might just end up spending money and never play it
>>26945477
I like to improv on keys sometimes
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0BdFQjytmzK

It's cool. I say "Thanks man." a lot.

Sorry for shitty quality I recorded it on my phone and converted to mp3 lmao

you can use that talent to escape this place and become normal
>>26945805
>I respect people who can sing. It's takes more skill than others realize.
that's retarded
it's something you're either born with or trained at a VERY young age
>>26961411
yea. singing is only difficult because actual good singers were born with a good voice and then got training on top of it
it's like basketball players. you are either born 6'5+ or you're not and there's nothing you can do to change that.
Drummer here. Hell of a discipline.

>>26960680
Yeah I did man, it's a catchy tune. Just out of curiosity, why'd you choose the name "Cactus"?
>>26961465
This fact is agonizing. I can learn to play just about any musical instrument with absolute ease in less than an hour, but I cannot sing to save my life. It's a curse.
>>26961640
I live in the more deserty part of Las Vegas and some of the stuff I play reminds me of the desert, so I name some of my songs after deserty type stuff. I'm admittedly a bit fascinated by the desert. I even sometimes practice in the one near where I live.
Have you heard of desert rock?
Here's my shithouse rendition of a song no one has heard before: Blackbird.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ayfsQIFdSn
plz lyk favurite and subscrybe
>>26961695
Oh, nice. Never heard of desert rock, no lol. Know any songs that best represent the genre? Sounds interesting.
>>26961735
desert rock is stuff like kyuss. it's kind of like heavyily fuzzed out rock
listen to the kyuss sky Valley album, that's probably the best representation of the sound
>>26961735
Songs that best represent it?
Just off the top of my head
Kyuss - Demon Cleaner
Kyuss - N.O.
The Desert Sessions - Screamin' Eagle.
>>26961790
This anon knows what's up.
/r9k/ is the last place I expected anyone to ever mention Kyuss.
>>26945477
These threads always make me irrationally angry, and I'm not really sure why. I guess it's because of the unconditional support you guys give eachother, and that a guy who started playing 2 weeks ago will get the same
appraisal as a guy who's been learning reclusive for 3 years. I don't care what you say, if you're posting your shit after 4 months of practice you're overtly pretentious, and probably a normie desu
>>26961908
I'm confused at what you're even trying to say.
>>26961962
He's mad that he's not getting attention
>>26961962
He's jealous that he has no skills and never could actually apply himself to anything. He thinks everything should just come to him without practice or learning. So he has to project his insecurites onto others and say "They're the problem! Not me! Stop being good at things! Stop being better than me!!! Waaaaahhhhh!!!"
>>26962016
if anyones an attentionwhore its the people posting in this thread
>>26961962
cut it with the unconditional appraisal, give some constructive criticism
>>26962016
Can't really blame him though. Being a musician is like normie fodder. Imagine being neglected by robot and normie alike for something that's supposed to make you great. It's aggravating.
>>26962086
Don't be dick, dude. Everyone I've heard in this thread actually plays pretty damn good.

say it like it is, you think I am being an asshole, think of all the chads posting who picked up a guitar for the first time last week
the majority of people in here arent robots at all.
I posted in here a while ago, but here's something else I made. A very small EP of some comfy tracks. Just wanted to make nice comfy music, let me know what you think if you have a minute.

>He thinks everything should just come to him without practice or learning
I think the opposite
>>26962099
if you're posting here you're not a robot
>>26962195
So are you gonna actually provide constructive criticism or did you just come here to shit post?
I don't even know which of these people you'd call "chads". Most here have bee noticeably been playing they're instrument for a while, and there's no reason to assume any of the others aren't "real" robots.
>>26962234
So why you bitchin? Pussy-ass nigga.
>>26962263
>have bee noticeably been playing they're instrument for a while
Don't misunderstand me, I totally respect those guys. But just last week there was a guy who made a thread boasting about how good his shit was after starting last october.
Everyone fed into his attentionwhoring and he's probably got more respect than you or I will ever get because we're robots.
>>26962338
To add to that there was another bitter guy who went shitting on piano saying how easy it was, and how he was a pro after playing 1 year
these are the guys you're supporting
>>26962338
Well he doesn't seem to be here so I just don't get what the problem is. If you care so much you could just show your appreciation to the people who you think deserve, vaguely shitting on the thread itself doesn't really help anything.
>>26962379
How do you know that? Normies are abusing r9k for soundcloud followers pretty blatantly I think its worth pointing out
>>26962480
This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen anyone get angry about.
>>26962480
Idk just doesn't seem as blatant as you seem to think. And again, you have no idea whether or not someone is a robot or normie based on something as vague as them playing an instrument, stop pretending like you do.
>>26962602
Maybe cause you're not that passionate about music, or you're one of the normies
>>26962623
a robot wouldn't use r9k to hoard soundcloud followers
>>26962630
You sound like one of those little boys who say "Ewwww girls."
And I love how you throw the term normie at everyone you disagree with. You're like a child throwing a tantrum.
>>26962688
So he's pretty much acting like a little kid then? That makes sense.
>>26962684
Again, this is you pretending like you know something that you actually don't. Just because someone posted a link to their music in a specific thread dedicated to them posting music doesn't necessarily mean they're just abusing it for attention. Also you don't get to decide who is and isn't a robot.
tfw lack the ability to hold a beat
>>26962702
>>26962688
Why are you so angry? Am I insulting you personally? If you're one of those faggots that piggyback of our board culture for soundcloud followers you're disrespecting both musicians and r9k
If not I don't see why you'd be this butthurt. If you don't like the term normie, you're on the wrong board friend
>>26962746
When people shill it's pretty abvious, its tame in this thread
>>26962769
You're the only one here that's really coming off as angry. We're just confused at your whining.
>>26962881
the only ones making personal attacks are you and your friends >>26962702 >>26962265 >>26962085>>26962688
just giving my opinion, and I am pretty surprised at the backlash, If I was a bitter dick I'd shit on all the music in this thread but I am not

It's mostly a bunch of ideas mashed up together. I messed up just a little bit. Oh well. My first time posting any of my work online. B-be gentle. ;_;
>>26963981
keep at it, anon!
>>26963981
How long have you been playing?
my anus is tight, pls be nice
this is what being a neet with no musical talent sounds like
https://soundcloud.com/tebanster
enjoy, r8/h8
>>26964491
Thanks!
>>26964536
I've been playing for 7 years. I'm 18 now. I should be better given how long I've been playing, but, eh, I always valued songwriting and experimentation over technical ability.
>>26964963
Oh, hey cool. I'm 18 too. But only been playing for 2 years.
>I always valued songwriting and experimentation over technical ability.
A good ideal, but technical ability can really clarify your playing. You even heard a guitar player just seriously shredding and saying "Fuck, that sounds amazing!"
That's technical ability at work right there, and those dudes know how to use.
Don't knock down technical playing, dude! Don't close your mind to anything involving music. Don't settle for one genre and say "I'll just stick to rock", y'know. It's good to be open minded about music.
Can I learn to make music with Mario Paint Composer?
It seems like literally the only music generating tool (instrument or program) I could have a chance of understanding
>used to be decent on clarinet
>stopped playing
>lost clarinet
There goes my one talent
>have guitar
>not really good at playing
>hard to motivate self to improve
I have no idea how to play really, and i don't really care to learn.
Sometimes when im feeling sad or something ill plug the guitar into the puter and record it in audacity.
Always sounds awesome while im doing it and shitty when its recorded.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1vzhtaWBORB
>>26965107
Dude! that sounds nice, perhaps not anything super experimental or unique, but nice for sure.
>Sometimes when im feeling sad or something ill plug the guitar into the puter and record it in audacity.
the track captured that feeling, I felt so anyway
>>26965087
sure, other people have probably done it and used it.
>>26965061
>You ever heard a guitar player just seriously shredding and saying "Fuck, that sounds amazing!"
Oh yes and it's sure impressive. I'm just kind of an artsy-fartsy "muh experimentation" type. Most of the guitar work in the music I listen to isn't technical and if anything, it's far from it.
Regardless, I've still tried to learn more advanced techniques like tapping and sweep picking, but I'm still pretty rough.
By the way, in Ephemeral (part 1), I like the major seventh chords you were using at certain points. I abuse those chords so much. I love 'em.
