Title: Blues
Post by: Oz on Thu 11/11/2004 20:13:00
Hey all! Good to see the forums back online. :)

I was toying around with a guitar sample pack and decided to compose a country-blues-rock tune.

Work in progress:

It feels like it lacks something, vocals?

It sounds great, you got what you were going for, and I think you're half-identifying the problem already.

It has no major lead melody. I can't really see how vocals would work well, although I'm no songwriter. I think whilst it would be possible to add vocals, you should try and saxomaphone solo. At the minute, it's good, but there's nothing that comes out and slaps you around a bit.

/Still thinks it's better than anything he could write :(

Very nice. It does sort of lack a central melody, but I think it's very nice as it is.

Yeah, I think the lack of a lead melody is making it sound plain. I'll be adding vocals later. Thanks for the crit!
