We've been playing since December of last year (but with MTD only around five months), and this is one of the better things we've recorded. It's completely improvised, and after we finished playing I knew it would turn out to be a good recording, because the energy was so great, and the randomness all worked out and sounded great together, almost planned out.
Lead in too long. Seems more of a middle/ending composition rather than a beginning IMHO. Drummer needs to clean up, obvious misses. Drum line experience doesnt fly when attempting the music you seem to want to produce. No offense.
I forgot all about this, this really ****ing sucks. In high school I had a friend named Stephanie, and not long after she graduated, she died in a car crash. I wrote this about her. I'm like 90% sure I never recorded this. I don't remember how to play it
A really great indie band I like a lot called Grandfather just put out their second album. Free download. Check it out, really good rock band with a distinctive sound. http://grandfathermusic.bandcamp.com.../in-human-form
A friend of mine just posted this on facebook, so I thought I'd post it. It's pretty damn sick. This guy's name is Isaiah Harrel, and he's one of the coolest, most dedicated musicians I've ever met, and worked with. He played my second gig with me in January of last year.
That gig was really rocky at times, but really ****ing great at times. It was pretty polarized, as far as how together we were, and how we sounded. As a band (trio), we didn't get to rehearse together a single time. A guy named Joe played drums with us originally, but after the first gig, he bitched out and left us hanging, so I had to find a fill in for our second gig, which was two weeks after. Isiah said he would do it, and I got to play with him one time at an open mic night, just by myself, just to get some sort of practice in with him so he could hear how the songs went. There's a lot of tempo changes in my music, so rehearsal, and knowing where the changes are, and what the appropriate tempos are, are very important for a drummer, and one short open mic night practice with a drummer really isn't enough time to get changes down cold, so at times during the gig, things were really off, and sometimes it sounded like complete ****. The times when we were together though, like in that never man video, it sounded ****ing amazing. He's a hell of a drummer.
That little piece is all I've ever released from that gig. I originally was going to get a desk recording that one of the guys from another band on the bill recorded onto pro tools, but I lost contact with him, and never got the files to release what I wanted. I'm thinking about just releasing the whole damn gig, the raw recording I have.
On a serious note though, it's best to have a teacher. You can learn yourself from books, and videos on youtube, but having someone that can give you one on one feedback is very important.
Start with basics. Learn the anatomy of the guitar, learn how to tune it, and start with simple chords, and a couple picking exercises.
Oh hell, give me a bit and I'll post some videos. It might be a few hours or a couple days, but I'll post something soon.
