    Hey Y'all, tis been a while since I've been on the site. I'll try to listen to some tracks after work as I like to not rush the experience. In the meantime, I recorded this demo about a year ago and would love your honest thoughts. Looking for general impressions and suggestions. Push And...

    Lo-fi Demo Song (thoughts on overall song composition)

    Interested in your thoughts in regards to the overall song composition. Any ideas as to what I should possibly add? So far, from this test recording, I think I need to bring the guitar forward some and add some bass. No Direction (Demo from "Silly Spaceman") by Aaron Chap | Free Listening on...

    Sometimes I Keep On Hoping- Guitar Composition

    Just a little guitar tune I recorded. Do you think there's anything I should add or change? I like the deeper undertones I achieved by just pitch shifting the extra guitar track. Some parts remind me of frogs croaking :P which is cool. My concern is whether the track gets a little monotonous...

    SpaceGirl-DemoRecording

    Went for something a little cheeky and fun. Love to hear all your thoughts and suggestions. Also, open to collabs if someone wants to lend a hand(sorry to people who have offered help in the past. Just read those messages now). Some drums would be cool. I've been trying to create some drum...

    Broken Love (Another Messy Demo For Yeah)

    The recording is pretty dang cooked (some areas on purpose to mask greater imperfections lol) and there's bad fret buzz. Nonetheless, I think the recording has some character. I'm wondering if I should add some chord changes to keep things fresh? Also, how do you all feel about the vocals? Some...

    Bad Business (Test Recording)

    Watched the movie "Heat" (great film) for the third time the other night and felt inspired to write this short tune. You guys offered me great advice last time which helped to clean up some of my tracks (hope to release those soon). I'm going to try to contribute more here. Anyhoo, here's the...

    Thought On Song Mix- Tiny Tin Can Demo Song

    Tried something different with this mix. Tried to isolate the guitar in audition and give it some garage fuzz. I then had the fun idea of using a wine bottle to create some harrowing tinny guitar sweeps for some ambient noise and background riffs. I like the dark western feel this achieves...

    Older Song- Greater Fools

    Thanks, again for everyone who offered helpful tips on my last post. It really helped to improve some of my tracks. Was organizing some files on my computer and happened to dig up this older song from a forgotten folder. It's a little meaty. I'm thinking of reworking this one. I have to figure...

    Looking For Input On Demo Songs

    Just some very lightly edited songs I like to experiment with on my off time. TBH, I haven't put enough time into mixing these things- just trying to polish my writing/compositions mostly. Not implying I would have improved anything if I did lol. I don't know all that much about mixing yet, I...

    A Spontaneously Created Song-- A White Room And A Broken Tune--

    Just curious on your thoughts of the song. Can't say I had any methodical process for creating this song. Started with an aleatory composition on my guitar, just some simple chords because I was feeling too lazy to replace its strings. I found myself actually enjoying the sound so I hit record...

    Thoughts On Developing This Song?

    So, I had posted the details of this song in the songwriting forum and I received some good feedback. We agreed that I need to change the second verse to break up the repetition some. I was experimenting on the guitar a while ago and came up with the following for the song. I'm interested in...

    Insight On Some Song Lyrics I'm Working On?

    Any insight on these lyrics I'm writing. What style of music do you think the song should be? I'm feeling a mixture of blues and jazz elements. Lyrics are below. You're a fine glass of wine. Oh, but you taste so sweet. You're a tall glass of sorrow. Oh, but you taste so sweet. And if I...

    Nick Drake Cover- Black Eyed Dog

    Well, here we go again with me presenting another Nick Drake Cover. You'd think I'd be over these things by now :P. Well, along time ago I thought it'd be a cool idea to learn how to play all of his songs. In hindsight, I'm not sure if that was a good idea. BTW, I haven't forgotten about...

    Working On A New Song- Honest Thoughts?

    Minus my rather tentative singing and at times messy guitar playing, do you think the song as a whole has any appeal? You may want to read the lyrics before listening. I decided to sing quietly as not to be a bother to my family late at night :P. I won't tell you what the song means to me since...

    Cat Stevens-The Wind-Practise

    Does Vocal Melody Sound Appropriate for Blues Sound? (How Can I Improve Vocals)?

    I was feeling down, So I fled from town. I was feeling down, So I fled from town. And then you came around, Filled me up with your spell. With your wicked spell on me. And If I wasn't always drinking, I might know, How you poison me so. You're an expensive glass of wine, But, you...

    I'm going to write the guitar parts for the song when I get the vocals figured out: Lyrics: I was feeling down, So I fled from town. I was feeling down, So I fled from town. And then you came around, Filled me up with your spell. With your wicked spell on me. And If I wasn't always...

    Nick Drake Place To Be (Test)

    Just a test preparing for the real cover. I didn't have strings on my Martin, so I had to us the old plywood guitar for this. Please, try to bear the chimey and clunky guitar. I tried a few different things with this recording and I like the various nuances I added. Of course, this is my own...
