Hey guys

Here's a piece I made with me on guitar and bass, and using Riffworks software (with its drum tracks) to put it together. It's kind of a nod to Dick Dale type surf music. I started a blog with a couple of other older tunes (or tune fragments maybe) here: http://francistsai2.blogspot.com/


Let me know whatcha think eh?

How long have you been playing?

The riff that starts the song--you could vary it a bit every time it repeats, so it's slightly different each time--either the picking pattern, number of notes, slight variation in the notes...etc.

The song structure overall is a bit repetitive--could be structured better.

The bass can use more compression--the dynamic is kind of all over the place.

The playing is slightly sloppy--maybe tighten it with an audio editor?

The melodic development could be more dynamic--catchier.

I hate surfing, but this tune sounds alright

Thanks guys!

Lunatique - I've been playing a long time, since the mid 80s. Before that I was a little kid playing violin. Thanks for the feedback on the tune - it might be a bit beyond the gear I am working with to do some of the stuff you mentioned.

shizo - haha, I've never been surfing.
