add 'at yahoo dot com' to my name. Mp3 or wav is fine. I'll see what I can do with it and send you the wav files. Key refers to the scale used for composing, simply put. Not big deal, I'll figure it out :p I can only read enough music to where it no longer looks like chinese writing to me hahaha Maybe BS will send you something too and you can layer it all making it a looperman jam session like this one https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/143435 :D

Lots of ways you could go with it but I would work on some lyrics and get a vocal track worked up and then see where you need to go. That main groove reminds me of Becks "Loser". Yeah, definitely has potential.

Wow SubChief, very cool. The part about stacking electric guitars with an acoustic is most impressive. Listen, I like where this is going. There is always space for more additions. That said, take your time, take a break and come back to it with fresh ideas. Very solid effort, keep rockin.

Lead guitar and bass would finish this nicely :p What key, bpm? I play both ;)

I am not smart enough to tell you what key it is in. I can't read music or anything. Hell I don't even know what chords I am playing, I just know they are a chord. HAHA. But its tuned down 6- C# and the rest a half step. Played at 85 BPM on a 4/4. I email BradoSanz the files he was gonna goof around with it, id be happy to do the same for you if you'd like to add your flair. I am always down to play with someone and hear their stuff even if its through online haha.

Love the guitars here. Some good tones. Acoustic sounds very nice.

I think the lead that comes in at 0:20 should be a little more quiet, and not get loud till 1:00. Outro could be quieter as well, with the fade throughout instead of being kind of abrupt.

Dang, not much else to critique! Sounds pretty good, though repetitive.

Thanks man! Yeah I have done another version where I did almost exactly what you recommended. I had a learning curve with garageband as far as fades and track levels. I am tempted to upgrade to logic X pro

This really just needs leads, like mentioned. A guitar lead, then a different instrument, then back to guitar. I like what you have here, it just sounds like a backing track after 30 seconds.

You've gotten some awesome feedback from the people before me. I'm excited to hear this once you've made some additions.

I agree with another comment on here, you could try an add a higher pitched instrument, whether it guitar lead or synth, just to give it an added dynamic. It has a very hard rock, traditional metal feel to it. All in all, its a great track, you just need another instrument to progress the sound during the verses, otherwise they'd just sound samey and repeptive

Hi Subchief. I'm liking the sounds, it's got a nice chunky groove to it. I get the feeling that you've taken a lot of time and care to get the sound you wanted from the guitar and it's paid off. Now you need to work on expanding the arrangement. Maybe some higher guitar leads, like a cleaner guitar with lots of delay, would give the track a kind of Tool feel. If you wanted to be experimental you could also try playing a synth through a VST amp. That would make the track even grittier.

Best of luck in developing the track, I look forward to seeing where you take it.

Cool tune...Love the tone on the Acoustic guitar. Electric guitar blends well and the licks work well.
Overall nice job with this. Thanks for sharing.
