Another good one. Like Jilted John and the Toy Dolls and The Buzzcocks. Similar in theme to your Supergirl one, but that's a popular theme, the one of unrequited love. Only thing that really grates for me is the "I'll bet she says something dumb" line in the chorus. This is the object of...

Bad Moon Rising. Played the wrong way in standard tuning, D, A, and G. I told a friend, Teach me that, and that's it, that's all I ever want to know! 38 years later and I've learned thousands and still learning!

Thank you again, sir! See my points in the previous post on how I created this sonic mess! Just kidding, I get it, and am aware of how it got there. I will take all your points and try better when remixing. I'm a fan of electric overdriven songs in G, as that open string rings out and drones...

Totally fair and constructive points there, thank you. The overdriven indie/grunge sound is one I'm a fan of, but it's not something I deliberately try to create. I just often end up there! Acoustic or two, clean chorus, chuggy rhythm, chiming arpeggios, and before you know it it's hard to...

Any thoughts, guys?

Why have you uploaded a well known George Michael song on this thread? ?

Grateful for any thoughts on song structure, composition, amount of guitar parts, influences, mix, background harmonies etc. Aware of some bum vocal notes in there! Cheers

Sounds like a long lost Gerry Rafferty number to me. High praise.

Has the link to the track disappeared for everyone? I can't see it. Can you directly attach the latest mp3 to the thread?

OK. Tumbleweed with this idea I guess...

Very nice songwriting there. A mix of reassuring ('right') chords and a couple of surprising ones. Indie folk sounds like a horror film genre, but there is definitely a sinister undercurrent at some points, and in the lyrics, so that's fitting. I think the opening is fine, but maybe the first...

Thread 'Composition Challenge!' https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/composition-challenge.429674/

Good fun song. A Man of Constant Sorrow and one of Ringo's solo numbers comes to mind. Good use of the escalating verse technique.

VERY shoegazy. More American than the UK ones, I hear Pavement in there, but you're more tuneful!

Thank you. I already have my lyrics and melody, I just paused at this stage of the demo and had a lightbulb moment. My thinking here was I wonder how many different avenues other songwriters might go down with these simple chords and we could compare and contrast later on. Certainly not putting...

Just recording one of my old songs and my routine is to build from acoustics, looping drum beat, rhythm, bass, higher arpeggios, solos. I always get to a fairly full completed backing track before I even think of adding vocals. And it occurred to me, how much of the melody for this is in the...

It IS ELO. He's just posted one of their songs! https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/abcdefg.429593/post-4946228

I use the Boss BR-800. Ebay for about £130, I think. I also have the walkman sized Micro BR, and BR-80, but this one is table based and easier to work on, although you have to dive into virtual tracks and their settings rather than just turning a knob on the device. I get pretty decent...
