Re: Do good guitar players play guitar hero? (15 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Hi alleysmith
Welcome to Chordie.
I think I'm a reasonable guitar player when I had a go at guitar hero I was rubbish. I guess if I took the time I would improve but I rather play the real thing.
I think it's just another xbox play station game and should be treated as such just a bit of fun nothing like the real thing as all the games are.

Hi Marc
My Myspace page runs ok.
They have change the format again which can confuse somewhat well it did me for a time. If you've got a firewall and anti virus running things should be alright but I've had no problems with virus's unwanted friend requests can just be ignored or deleted.
I use facebook but it doesn't directly host artist songs.

Saw the new year in quietly (for a change) with my wife watching the TV. There was a great fireworks display at midnight around the London eye near Tower Bridge. Seems to to get bigger every year it must cost thousands.

Hi Phill
Nice to hear from you. Hope you haven't been working to hard
As the song was seeming Celtic I thought add a bit of eastern promise to the mix seemed logical at the time.
Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

Hi Ark,
Nice work on both pieces
The reverb sounded a little too strong on the guitar in Blue Balloon (could be my tinnitus)but other then that it is another excellent composition. Kudos.I like the way the strings? come in at around 2:10 on She Moves the Fair. There is a lot happening in this and you did a great job in the mix.
Merry Christmas to you and Yours
Kenny
Hi Ken
I think you could be correct about to much reverb. One of my faults when I mix tracks is I mostly tend to slap on a tad bit to much reverb.
I to suffer from tininitus and I know what you mean about hearing sounds correctly. It can be a real downer if you let it get to you.
"She Walks through the fair" melody is roughly based on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tDqhN8pVWY a seemingly old Celtic song but I think the song is reasonably modern. My mother used to play the tune on the piano and has always remained in my memory.
I'm a sucker for melancholia....
Thanks for the comment.
Happy Christmas

Both your pieces were excellent. I'm a fan of ambient music and minimalism and you seem very adept working in these genres.
Hey Artless
Thanks for taking the time listen and comment.
Though my first love is the guitar. I've been drawn over the last few years to doing more ambient music and now it seems to dominate most of what I do.
Happy Christmas

Topic: Blue Balloon/She Moves through the fair. (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi All
Here's a couple of new ones I've done recently.
"Blue Balloon" is a looped piano with guitar with intro and outro keyboard I think they act as a kind of bookends to piece. It maybe a bit samey and could do with some more work.
"She Moves the fair" could very loosely called a cover of a melody I'm particularly fond of. I think it's far enough away from the original not cause any problems.
This was quite a complex mix with various counter plays to the basic melody line.
Anyway thanks taking the time to read/listen

Hi Andrew
Welcome to The song writing section.
Some nice lyrics to go with your chord progressions there. Don't know if your able to record but would like to hear your idea for a melody,
If you want to format the song to Chopro then just use the "edit" button on the bottom right of your post. You can use the "preview" button to see if you have been successful in your editing press submit when you got it right. The formatted song will just replace the original post if you use the edit.
Thanks for sharing

One of the things about writing an instrumental is the freedom it sometimes gives to the listener to form in their own minds the images the piece gives them.

Hi Lane1777
Welcome to Chordie and the song writing section. Thanks for sharing the lyrics of your love song which read real nice.
If you could please include the chords to the song in your post then the it can stay in the songwriting section. There's a sticky at the top of the posts which explain why lyrics alone will be classed as a poem and will be move to that section.
Thanks for your co-operation in advance.
