Haha, I took the SATs today as well. Not bad, I liked it. Make those hammer-ons and pull-offs cleaner though. Other than that I was diggin' the groove.

I think its quite a fun melody. It looks like you're sticking to the scale (G Pentatonic?), pardon my amateur nature. Anyway, I'll try to be the most
helpful that I can be:
This might be difficult to accurately verbalize but it appears that you are doing a lot of the "same movements". As in, your fingers kind of stick to the same sort of movements in the same area. Most of it is hammering the middle/ring finger, or hammering the pinky finger. This isn't a bad thing- it's fun to play around locally without moving around too much. It's convenient because it's in reach. I just wanted to mention it. I have not seen anything else by you so I have no idea how broad you are. But whatever the case is, I encourage you to broaden your "guitar eyes" and look at what all your options are that might not be immediately nearby. If you do this already, then great! I just see a lot of people that get stuck in the same old routine with the same old approach. The good part is that it is quite "listenable". Some things are more complex but demand more attention. Some things are equally complex but the way they are composed, they allow your ears to go with the flow. You don't want people to feel strained while listening to your music! I think you have a nice balance and it is enjoyable. If you continued it longer, my ears would desire a bit of a change-up. Maybe to a slightly different set of notes. Something like a bridge, you know? Aside from all of that, what do you do for practice? Currently I am doing a couple things: First, completely memorizing the fret-board so that it's second-nature. I have 5 of the strings memorized all up the neck so far, this is very very very helpful as I switch between piano and guitar quite often while working on songs. Im extending my music theory knowledge, I've taken quite a liking to experimenting with voice-leading and focusing mostly on chord-related theory and customization (again, piano fingers that open up guitar like magic). So I play around a lot with scales, I have a friend that makes some incredibly fun instrumental tracks and I love to play over those. However, I feel limited. If I stick to single-string lead type playing, I'm fine. If I try to do more strings at a time I kind of lose it (I'm not talking about chord fingerings, I can strum more intricate chord progressions just fine). I guess what I'm saying is that a have a hard time combining the two. Sorry for the long message, and any input would be appreciated. |

It's D minor/D aeolian I believe. I saw at least one non-pentatonic note in there. I think it was very nice. You could put a nice solo in there by keeping
up the strumming patterns and muting all but one or two strings.

I took it toooooooooooooo! I agree with hmongxboi about playing cleaner. Great jam nevertheless
