Well, here I am again, with yet another unfinished song because I don't know how to finish what I start... >.<

Ahem, Simple little musing that I've got on guitar, and decided to put in. I've got more, just need to figure it out and get it all together.

Name is a little bit of homage to 3 Doors Down, which really got me into playing guitar more, but there is NO connection to them other than just my way of saying thanks and giving respect. And, the turbo kick part made my dogs think someone was knocking on the door. XD

Vote as you like, but please comment and tell me why. I want to improve, so tell me whatever you think needs improved or something like that.

Hey there.

Melody - the perception of pleasant arrangements of musical notes.
So basically. Notes that sound good together that are placed one after another.

Its funny cause i always see your reviews around the portal, but when i checked your profile you didnt have any new songs.. and now you do! haha.. anyways.. Do you have the full version of Fl? cause i have a ton of sample packs and vsts i can send you if youd like.. when i was just starting i didnt even know what a vst was xD so i think your music would sound better with better stuff.. you know? :)

Anyways. on to the song.

I like the name.. it caught my attention and fits the song very well..
I think you should start using more effects.. like the Fast LP for the intro.. or a soundgoodizer and such.. You can pm me if you want more info on those things..cause im not sure how much you know already xD

I liked the melody.. It was calming.. kinda sad.. but thats okay xD i think that when your melody comes back at :28, that you should either put it up an octave or change up the notes a little bit.. cause you'll see later that no one likes repatition at all.. so it would be good to change things up..

Also.. for the drums.. you should instead of doing it kinda random... make it.. a kick on 4.. a clap on the second and forth kick.. and a hi hat inbetween every space.. do you understand? thats kinda like the generic drums if you know what i mean..

all in all.. its not that bad.. it blows my first couple songs right out of the water :P just keep making songs and messing with new things.. cause you ususally learn new things with every new song you make :)

Keep it up man

O.o The essence of a useful review! XD

I'll PM you with questions and such, as there's no use expecting a conversation here.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to figure it out and put it to use. :) Thanks for the review.

Keep it up!

You'll learn to finish songs, don't worry! Just keep working hard. You got some nice arps and chords here, all you need is a melody. Unless the guitar is supposed to be the melody. Anyways just work on making the song more full. At 22 seconds it is a little empty, you could throw something in there I'm sure. :P

SirFurious responds:

This may be a difficult/stupid question, but... Define melody.

Yeah, I ripped it down to just the drums, and that... Didn't go well. :/

One thing I'm still trying to get a grip on is how many patterns I should use... I only recently got it to one chord per pattern, instead of having entire chord progressions in them... Although, with something like the backing sytrus, I suppose that's alright...

Thanks for the review, and I'll try to keep working on it. Although in a different key... XD
