The guitar tone sounds pretty good on the lower register and on the cleaner parts- when you play higher notes during the distorted main riff, it gets a little thin and trebley. Rolling back the highs... |

Unless you're writing avant garde atonal jazz freakouts, which you're probably not, pretty much every song you write will use established theory, whether you know it or not. Actually learning theory,... |

Memoirs of a Broken Heart- This is good, nice use of a chill, Jack Johnson vibe. The guitar starts to get repetitive but you break it up with some different rhythms and chord changes, and it works. I... |

The guitar on this was nice- it's a pretty basic progression, but you do enough cool things rhythmically and melodically that it stays interesting. The vocals were quite good overall- there were some... |

Sounds pretty good, man- a little poppy for my taste, but for what it is it's a really solid song. Vocals and guitars sound pretty professional, nice harmonies. Good use of keyboards. The drums... |

Park Street- Folk Rock, c4c
This is a short cut that I based around some lyrics I'd written a while ago and didn't know what to do with. Not much in the way of guitar heroics here, but any criticism on the songwriting, vocals,... |

This sounds pretty great. Cool opening section, sort of Iron Maidenesque. Your tone on the main guitar part is great, really thick and a very saturated sound on the lead licks. The tone is what... |

Thanks for the crit. It definitely takes a while to build up, and that's because it's a film score- I had to adjust the structure a bit to fit the film, and it needed a long intro. I'll get to yours... |

Hey, I was testing out my new mic and recorded this. It's more lyrically and vocally focused than guitar centered, but any criticism is welcome. Crit for Crit. My dmusic (oblique.dmusic.com) |
