Music I Wrote.

[WelfareQueen]

I have been a musician since I was 11. I am in my 50's now so do the math. I have been messing around writing in a lot of different modes lately. My favorites are Aeolian mode and Lydian mode. The 6th and 4th degree of the scales respectively. I had a lot of music theory in College. Shredding is cool, but writing interesting shit is more cool.

I thought I would post this. Comments welcome. If you think it sucks say so, it wont hurt my feelings. If you like cool. I am not trying to impress, just write an interesting little piece of music.

Here is the piece with the chord progression. It doesn't sound hard but it's a bitch to play. Many weird chords. Hope you enjoy.

Well I played some sloppy leads over it but it's stuck on my phone with no way to upload it onto here . I'll try to figure something out tomorrow.

Cool. I might record an extended lead for you to check out. I truly think it takes years to really be a good lead player. I'm okay, but I generally have to think things out first. I try to play leads in a lot of different keys. Don't want to be stuck in one spot.

I just tried to add some more feeling to it, but it's perfect the way it is.

lol. Just played it back --I sound like Zappa when he was first learning.

I'm very happy you like it! It's easy when you have a good score to work with.

Thanks for doing this. It does kind of have a Zappa feel which is high praise.

I had the same problem, I created an account on the wikiloops site that Chuz Life recommended.

I uploaded it to facebook messenger, then copied the url and pasted it straight in like a youtube video.

Not trying to ruin an otherwise perfect thread, but here's something I was fiddling with today---kind of a David Gilmour ish feel to it.

This is therapeutic for me - hearing how bad I sound will force me to get better. Thanks welfare queen ( who's really a dude)

I just finished reading a Peter Frampton biography and he talked about never completely being happy with his playing. He sees that as healthy, So do I. Your piece is excellent imho. Keep going.

btw.....one of my all time favorite leads. Starts at 3:51
