I did a quick search for threads on music, and though there are plenty... none are like this one. This thread is for anyone with either originals, or covers, to show your skill. It would be easiest if your song were on youtube... though downloads are alright to. So, Inspire me guys!!
Whenever I'm good or not I don't really know, but I do know that I have a blast playing... guitar that is :D So... here's some of the things I've done:
Wild horses - Cover from a Guns N Roses performance:
Paradise city remix thingy... don't really know what to call it, I just made something up using the paradise city intro as a start. Was the first thing where I wrote original material to:
I really just made it for the fun of it, actually I just kinda threw it together while my mate was here, lol :D So shouldn't be taken too seriously! ;) hehe.
Great job, any one else got something they're proud of?
I've got plenty of original songs I'm proud of. Only problem is, none of them have been recorded because the rest of my band mates are unreliable bumps on a log...so basically, I've only got crappy MIDI versions (which won't work if I try to post them, because for some reason, files I make on my MIDI program are corrupted so that only that program itself will be able to play them). Besides, even if I could post the MIDI versions, it'd be more of a display of compositional skill than performance.
i have a guitar thread that no one visits anymore:(
^If you post more...they will come.
By the way, that last post based off of that 80's-looking anime was cool. What was that anime?
I have a guitar thread that no one visits...at all...Quote:

To those who are saying that nobody visits their thread anymore, why not post your videos in here and see if we could get a sticky... specifically for musicians. Also, I've visited both threads mentioned here, and the problem is YOU don't update them or anything. Post some new stuff and people will go there...

Fair enough, but you still have to make your 'audience' believe you are making some sort of commitment, and give them things to look forward to... and maybe give 'em little tastes or something... I don't know

Spiritofthewolf (Self-Intercept) - Your music mostly comes off as experimental, like you're still learning how to use things and figuring out how they sound. Otherwise it's alright.
Although I don't have any good recordings of me actually playing, I've made music otherwise. Here are a few links if you're interested:
The Memories
Painting Clouds
In Waiting
yah i am always learning, everyday..thats why i love experimental music, no boundaries...kinda like Lucid Dreaming :)Quote:

Wow!!! SomeDreamer those were so cool! I loved them! I don't play the guitar good enough to post anything and I have nothing recorded of me on my drums or of me singing. I've been singing longer than I've been talking, and it takes me everywhere from contemporary jazz, to rock, to R&B and to some metal even (mainly Evanescence). I would love to hear more of your stuff... (TEACH ME THE WAYS OF THE FORCE!!!:P) I'll try and see if I can dig any of my music up.:)
Crap, well I have nothing that I'm able to post, makes me sad. My friend and I have a guy with a studio willing to record us but we need to find a piano player... sucks cause we don't know anyone who plays piano let alone plays well.
I PLAY PIANO ANGEL! Haha
I might post some of my stuff up too if I can record it. Note: It WILL be crappy quality video and/or audio.
All your guys stuff is awesome. Loved Vampyres stuff. Just one thing I didn't like is the transitions.... Kinda didn't work too well for me. I was expecting a different thing to happen and it didn't. If ya know what I mean....

haha, thanks a bunch for the comment:D Really appriciate it. And actually I've just got my new Shure SM57 mic home, so I can mic my amp properly:) So should be awesome, I'll try to have something up soon. Actually I haven't been playing guitar that long... like... 1 and a half year now? All I can say is that slash (and all of the "real" Guns N' Roses stuff) have had a huge impact on my style, hehe. Other than that I grab a bit of inspiration from all kinds of other bands.. like led zeppelin, the eagles, pink floyd and AC/DC.Quote:

If you got any questions I'd love to answer them though ^^
That's cool Tommo! I'd love to listen to some of your stuff! If only band gigs could be performed and recorded over the internet with the members in seperate locations and still have the quality be studio work... but alas.
I'd also love to hear more of your stuff Dreamer. I'm always enthralled by good music, and I love hearing how people can invest their own emotions and feelings into a song.
Yes that would be pretty awesome haha
I'm learning a new song now and I will record it as soon as I get it down right.
Fine, i'll post a vid even though i already have a thread.
Unkown hey?
I finally got my new Shure SM57 mic to work properly with my recording gear!:) So I'll definitely try to have something up these next couple of days. Gonna be exciting to try it out ^^Quote:

Well didn't really wanna start a new thread for it so... here's the small stairway to heaven solo test that I did with my new mic ^^ Seems like youtube have messed up the sound a bit, but oh well:
That's good! I like your skills Dreamer.:D I wish I could play like that but when it comes to music my talent lies elsewhere than the guitar. I'm trying really hard to get some of my vocal or drum work but my damn recordings are still of horrible quality so I will have to record new ones if possible.>:/
If you really wanna take your recordings to the next level you should definitely try to see if you can get a hold of a proper mic and soundcard of some sort :) I'd love to hear some of your recordings ^^Quote:

I think I'm gonna do a proper recording of sweet child o' mine tomorrow... I've always wanted to do a proper recording of that song.
Love it.Quote:

Well I'm leaving for the weekend, but I'll be back monday ^^ That is, back where my guitar and recording gear is :P I played the intro of the song back when I was just starting out, actually it should still be around my uploaded videos on YouTube, so the rest of the song really shouldn't be a problem. I'll see what I can do about it! heheQuote:

Well. My recording studio buddy bailed like a dick and now I'm on my own. I don't have access to a good mike or sound card or even accompaniment. So all I have is a web cam and my own voice, becasue drums sound shitty over web cam. I'll try an a capella version of Can't Take My Eyes Off of You by Franki Valli, or something along thise lines becasue jazz and blues are okay a capella. I'll see what I can come up with.
P.S. I'd love to hear more of your stuff dreamer!:D
Sounds good!:)Quote:

hah:D well unfortunately I seem to be having some trouble with my guitar:( Somehow it seems like the tonal quality of it have dropped... maybe it's hardware troubles with it.. dunno yet. I'll try to see if I can get sweet child o mine recorded tomorrow... if the quality is somewhat acceptable.Quote:
P.S. I'd love to hear more of your stuff dreamer!
I await your results:D
Alright, had a few things that needed to be done today... BUT, seems like I'm gonna get the recording test of sweet child o mine done today:D I messed around with the amp and mic today to see if I could get some proper results... and I did! All I need is to record the solo and it's done! I'll finish it up later tonight.
How's the recording process coming along for you anunfaithfullangel? ^^
In progress... slow and frustrating yet in progress.
*Okay, so I finally managed to get my computer and youtube to cooperate, but unfortunately the recording isn't the best quality visually, but hey it was my voice I wanted to share. It's not my best, but I gave it a shot!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruWD3E4Fc1w
**Also the vid cuts out at the end because youtube sucks and I'm not the best with technology...:P
Alright, so here's the result of me playing around with the amp and mic to gain some better quality recording:) For the test I played the lead parts of sweet child o' mine(except for the very last outro). It was diffinately a lot of fun to do and I learned quite a bit more about mic recording, it really is an art in itself to do it properly, and I still have a whole lot to learn about it, but I was pleased with these end results. Also I played around quite a lot with noise removal and such in the audio software.
There's not any video for this one, only the audio, as it was more of a test than anything, but here's the download:

I realise it's not all that perfect... but oh well;)
[EDIT]
Just noticed you had updated your post angel. I liked it a lot:D Wish I could sing like you;) Unfortunately that's not the case, haha. You have a beautiful voice. Hope there'll be more and longer recordings in the future!
Thank you. I'm not very pleased with it but hey, it works! As for your bit on Sweet Child... my computer wouldn't load it! :(
Are you using Windows media player?:) Eventually came up with a codec error?Quote:
my computer wouldn't load it!
Yep.
hah, knew it :) You should really try to use VLC player. It's an open source free media player, and it'll play almost everything you can trow at it:

Try to install it, it really should do the trick.
