Now if i could only sing like Seth ... :lol:

I made a few mistakes but that always happens as soon as i start trying to record something ..

Any way what I'm looking for is constructive criticism or just tel me if you like it or not :P

Sorry the sound and image quality aren't great :?


Cheers,


Travis
 
Nice pants! :lol:

Jk. Some cool stuff in there. Good job.
 
That's a nice start Travis.
I find it hard playing stuff like at the best of times.
Well done & keep em comin man.
 
i really like the harmonic tapping part in there but the intro doesn't seem to fit?
 
I feel like its hard to use harmonics in things without it sounding generic or without having an "I've heard this before" vibe. I think its just because there only a certain amount of harmonics and they all always have a similar tonal color. Anyways you did a good job with it and made them sound interesting. I personally like things to be more up tempo and rhythmic but its just because I'm a big syncopation freak. Overall not bad though. I was able to watch the whole thing without boredom. And I usually don't like ballads so it says a bit about it.
 
Good job man! Sure, you need more practice, but it is very nice what I am hearing. I wish I could play like that, hihihihi...

Well I actually have another one which is a bit more upbeat which I'll try record soon.

Yea I know this one is a bit "disjointed", that's something i need to work on I just don't have any musical theory knowledge so its hard to find things that fit.

+1 on that comment. If it sounds good to you then it should sound good to other people. Knowledge of music theory can be just as much of hinderance when you start writing and performing your own music. It's really only when you have to communicate your ideas to other musicians that it becomes more necessary. Carry on doing what you're doing my friend, there's some great ideas coming together!
