Heres one I've been working on for a while...pardon the extreme reverb

I've just been going through the thread again. This one's really nice, you know. Have you abandoned it now or something else? Just ruminating

[Giovanni Goria]

Here's two song of mine. The lyrics are in Indonesian, so forgive me if you guys doesn't understand what the lyrics are. Please, enjoy!

P.S : I'm the one on the right, with that '68 ES 335 that i borrow from my uncle.

I am a NYC composer guitarist and conductor.
I've been at it for 50 years so I won't bore you with my experiences.
Instead I'd like to share a composition for three acoustic guitars and bass.
I shoot and produce my own videos music. I hope this inspires.

Thanks for watching and listening.

Here's one of mine I wrote thinking of my friend Jose. I built it out of an exercise for major and minor chords.

[ragman1]

Vladan and ragman1,
I added some quick and dirty bass and (guitar strings) percussion to delineate the beat and measures a bit better. So basically it's 1 bar lead-in, 8 bars "verse", 8 bars "middle", 1 extra bar riff, and 6 or 7 bars final verse and finish.

Well, you've added rhythm but where's the tune? Could you play the tune by itself without the chord fills?

Like I said before, there's no real start to it. Nice pick-up but where does it start? You need a firm A chord/sound at the beginning.



At the moment you have a C#m and no apparent tune. That's the problem. C#m isn't a strong beginning sound. Do you hear that? It makes it sound as though the tune starts at the F#m. That's the first definite sound the ear hears... but it doesn't start there. That's the thing.

Play the tune without the chord fills. Can you record that? Just the tune. You play it, I'll write it!

[Vladan]

If this is what he plays, you wrote it starting on 2, I hear it as starting on "and of 1", what is correct?

Here's one of mine from a few years ago

Here is one I wrote about what is in store for us ...

Note: It is NOT about who you think it is, just the opposite...

[JaxJaxon]

some real good example of Jump Jazz

[sergio]

Hi, I've spent most of my guitar time (on and off for year long stretches) making up things, and only now started to study and learn a bit - I went for jazz (that's why I'm here now). Here's a tune I did on chemo two years ago, so maybe chemo isn't so bad It's not jazz but maybe there's something jazz like in it? Dunno



here's another, way older one

I'm having a lot of fun listening through all the previous posts on this thread, lots of diversity, some of them blew me away!

[ragman1]

Sorry to have been absent for a while. Some really great music on here! So nice to see

Really lovely song, (I have no idea what the words mean) i dont think that matters,
now keep it simple DO NOT JAZZify

cool vocals, certainly has something, It needs arranging ( nothing bad) everything does
i thought i heard bass coming in at one point, it reminds me of early 70s Shaun Phillips. Tim Buckley,
early Elvis Costello, talking vocal delivery obviously not poppy

I would tighten it up, put a pinch more groove in sorry cant find words, @ mo, it's very floaty (good) maybe
at end of phrases and beginning, dont play too much .

Very good, also no drums & bass as such is nice, 99% music today is looped crap.

Keep going Papa, i think it is actually quite commercial ( thats not a bad thing, essentially means its marketable)

Dont take my references to heart, it just made me think of those kind of people. I listened to it 4 times.

[Peter C]

Great review that last one!

[Cunamara]

Wow, lots of folks writing stuff! Very cool. I forgot that one of mine is out on the interwebs via my former quintet. This is a "warts and all" studio recording- live, no corrections or overdubs. On the site, click on "OT Blues" which is the original I composed for the band.

(Played on my Cushman archtop, made by forum member Matt Cushman with Kent Armstrong floating PAF, AI Clarus head, either a Redstone RS 8" or a RE 12"- from the tone as I hear it, probably the former.)

I posted a tune a while back in a separate thread in this subforum and for some reason it has disappeared...

[ragman1]

I'm sure it's not a plot. Can't you just post it again?

[ragman1]

Cunamara

Nice one!

[Peter C]

Nothing here

[Cunamara]

Cunamara

Nice one!

Thanks, man!

[Peter C]

Nothing here either

[Peter C]

Just checked out the whole thread again - unfortunately some tunes have been pulled. Ragman, no more "Lost Balloon"? - come on!

There's some great blowing on a lot of these tracks but as this is about composition, I'd just like to express my appreciation of the below for pushing the envelope one way or another. This stuff is priceless IMO.

Thank you

(jordanklemons This City #120 received quite a lot of deserved attention)
