...and I'd like some feedback, please. I put them out over Facebook last week, and they were a lot more popular than I ever expected them to be. I know that I'm not a very good guitarist, but between someone actually leaking part of my third album and the way other local artists have been treating me lately, I feel like I might be onto something. Even if it's an incredibly small something. Would you guys mind having a listen to the first one and giving me your opinions? http://www.mediafire.com/?j7kj29gyib5yxd9 (28 tracks, front and back album covers included.)

You think so? Streaming. Huh. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a shot right now.

You're a genius, lol. Why didn't I think of that? I'm kinda ditzy. Thanks for the advice, I really mean it.  https://soundcloud.com/tv_eyes I'll update it with my newest material soon. Impatient Skype JO fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Oct 18, 2016 |

A link to my 15th album: http://www.mediafire.com/?vcptzz8i01hb1lv This one is a double album (Alpha is one album and Omega is another). I polished my format so that the track listing and album art are id3 tagged.

Yes. Anyway, I took that seriously and checked out the average file size for an album, and I fall about 2 mb short of the average. Which is alright, considering that this is two albums in one and over 40 minutes' worth of music in total. I stream and post videos, but only to Facebook, so if you'd rather laugh at my actual face, you'd have to either add me as a friend or follow my record label's page there. Oh, as for more news, I reached over a thousand downloads recently which is nice, considering that I only started making music two months ago and I really only share my music to my 270 FB friends when I'm not posting here. I don't really know how good of a number that is as far as bands go, but it seems that I have a small following, even though people don't often comment and are likewise miserly when it comes to likes. Oh yeah! I recruited an old friend to play drums when I'm on guitar (and guitar when I'm on drums) and we streamed a performance this past weekend. I think we sound good together, and would love to get a couple more people involved so that we can reach that heavy, strange sound I'm looking for. Okay, rambling over. Thanks. e: I am on Facebook as Ho Choy Uktena, and my record label's page is Unofficial Unknown. I'd provide links, but I'm kinda busy and so I'll add them later. e2: Here's a link to that live performance I mentioned. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=707108966121119&id=100004660668877 Impatient Skype JO fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Nov 28, 2016 |

Welp. I'm not trying to be a bother, I just thought I'd use a thread to get some feedback/followers on my project. That one guy helped out with the streaming/soundcloud suggestions, so I thought everything was fine. If you have any criticisms in regard to the way I post, let me know and I'll try to do better next time.

Oh, don't worry about offending me at all, I'm starved for criticism. Thank you for spending the time to listen to my music, I honestly appreciate it. The feedback, even more so. You're right, most of the 'songs' really are just short guitar riffs, they weren't shortened. They were basically me trying to write interesting enough riffs to stand on their own. Also because I didn't think to use drum tracks, haha. The 'sampler' thing was just my way of encouraging people to use my mediafire download links, so I could keep using it to track the amounts of download I was recieving. Mostly just to keep my ego charged by having a page full of (relatively) high numbers of downloads. I've since moved on to just posting videos to YouTube. As for the poor sound quality, you're totally right; I've been using my phone to record everything, and still do. Mostly because I haven't saved up enough for new equipment, but it's coming. Just gotta keep saving. But for now, here are my latest songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_sD9_dfU7Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Yonh8ffHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hqfzi3sd3c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mjyDroPt2U Edit: Here are a couple more songs: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ1MFsyhPTU2x8l6bAmkhqLhexCy0p7022qL580/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ1NRz0h3UWBrgHIFUugcG8mfgf5LRWNSzhA4g0/ And something silly: https://www.instagram.com/p/BB8CwvLI-ClvYNCgZesYDRYFIyldphIz1KbN080/ Impatient Skype JO fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Jan 16, 2017 |

Here's a new song recorded for my latest album, which you can listen to here. The album was recorded for the challenge discussed in this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCNQa0fPTYE

Two of the five songs I recorded before my poor Line 6 finally bit the dust.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOP0JG_81aA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tixQm2njg8g

Thanks for the feedback. Some of my songs have drum tracks on them and 'go somewhere', if that's what you mean. Check out the five YouTube videos I posted before the last two, for example. And until I learn/come up with some more scales and chords and get some better equipment, those little riffs will continue to make up the bulk of what I make. You did catch on to the fact that I'm going to use these recordings to produce longer, more thought out songs, so I think I'm on the right track.

Actually, here's a link to an album that is 53 minutes of more thought out songs.

Please don't worry about sounding overly harsh, you're telling me things nobody IRL is saying to me. Things that I really need to learn to hear if I'm going to improve. Thank you for helping me. And I agree with you points for the most point, with a few exceptions: I put these songs out as albums and whatever since to me, they're more like snapshots of my progress as a musician. I didn't intend to 'release' them originally, but I figured I might as well, since I'm a new guitarist and I should get all the criticism I can get. It's not that I couldn't take the time to finish them, it's more that I like the way they sound as-is, and don't know enough to figure out how to get them to progress, since I think I only know maybe one chord, several handshapes and three scales. It's been about seven months and I feel like I can't get anything else to stick as far as learning more chords, etc. goes. Is that normal? It's really frustrating. And finally, I think it's unfair to call the whole album of the 'more thought out' songs the same riff repeated. Actually listen to it, and don't skip around. All that said, I'll work harder to make better music. That's a promise. And please don't take any of this as just me trying to deflect criticism. I'm really excited to actually be discussing my music with someone who tells me something other than fake-rear end "Yeah, you're doing good"s or "that's you playing?"s.

Okay. I'll work on these things and post what I come up with. It may take a while since my amp broke right after I lost my job, but a friend let me borrow a bass and bass amp, so I'll try to get what you mentioned done with it. At least until I get a new amp. And/or whatever piece of equipment lets me record directly to the computer.

Axeman Jim posted:Yeah I agree with MrSargent. I'll get right on it, thanks a lot I knew this thread would pay off. You just saved me a bunch of money that I really can't afford to spend right now. I promise to come back here with a full sound. It might take time, but I'll be making the moves you've suggested here.

How're these? https://soundcloud.com/tv_eyes/sup-graaamps https://soundcloud.com/tv_eyes/quit-smoking https://soundcloud.com/tv_eyes/stangerblues E: I'm working on re-recording the vocals for the first track, so they may or may not be present by the time anyone listens to it.

https://soundcloud.com/tv_eyes/free Here's a track that's like the first I song I linked in my previous post, since that one received the most post positive feedback IRL. What do you guys think? E: Later feedback has led me to the conclusion that I don't have a full sound just yet. Please disregard these tracks.
