I used to be in a band with the best keyboard player of all time. His approach was The right hand is for playing, the left hand is for smoking and drinking. In originals we'd never have to tell him the chords or structure. He just play the right thing and his parts would dance around wherever all the other instruments or voices were. Another regular comment was Doesn't sound like this one needs keys lads!

Hi, Thanks a lot. M AUDIO HDH40

It's just the second thing I've done using Garageband on iPad, a focusrite audio interface and some headphones I can't remember the name of. What I've learned is it sounds flat in the headphones but it is actually trebley and not bass enough. Will have to adjust or get some new cans.

Come on Man! It's Judeo Christian prog! I mean, I don't know what that's supposed to sound like but still......

Ok, I'm done. I'm not 100% happy with the mix and it's a couple of seconds over. I've cut a minute off it and I can't take any more off. It just sounds weird to me now because of the cuts.😆 So I've had enough. It is what it is. Like I said. Based on the E7 triad riff and I mess with the scales each time round. Affecting(contorting) the melody, chords etc. Listen to Echoes of the Altered by Dreaded Ted & The Nutters on #SoundCloud

Awesome

Ive hammered it the last two days. I'm nearly done!

Most months I'm the same

I'm still nowhere near. However, I have a riff based on the central guy's body shape. His floor hand, other hand and knees, roughly make the shape of how a dominant 7th triad falls on a guitar. His feet stick out. So i have a riff based on dominant 7th with a little sticky out bit. I'll have a mystical section and maybe some mystical sounding melodies. Also the contortion/twisty idea. I'm gonna twist the scales I'm using as the piece goes on. Hope I can get it done in time

But which Hofner is best for metal?!

I'm gonna try again this month. I have a bit of time. Gonna go with an idea of twisting something as it goes along and have some mystical elements.

It's cos no one listens to the bass player! Even bass players by the looks of things on this thread!😅

So the consensus of the thread is all bass players are angels and the rest of em are bastards! 😅

One thing I love about Holdsworth is how fellow genius players like Vai or Van Halen say they don't understand it. It is totally unique.

He'll have it low to shred more easily

I used to play this in a band at college. Great Fun. Yngwie's solo in this shows just hiw unworldly Alan Holdsworth was!

He plays fretless on a lot of his stuff. There is some shredding on this I think.

I think the mistake i've made is there is just too much going on and too much of it. What I'll do is take some inspiration from the next picture and put it into this and enter it next month.😆

Thanks but mine is literally not finished. I need to write parts for 3 sections. Edit and mix. I just don't have the time. I've enjoyed trying tho. It will be good when finished.

My won't be finished by the end of tomorrow. I'm out

But which Prince is the best for metal?

Mines getting there. Got the track laid out. I'm probably half way there.

You've just analysed all my composition work!

Don't know what I'm changing yet. I just have the form.......and a riff now. It will probably take me all month if I finish at all!

Literally just after typing that last post and thinking about why I couldn't get anything from it and how I compose. It came to me! So there are some blue and green bits, then a big splooge of yellow, then blue- green. So the form will be 2 sections or types of sections. Then a big completely different bit. Then back to the 2 types of sections. The time changing up the side of the graph means I'll change some things as it goes along within the sections. Don't know what. Harmony, chords not sure. I'll try and have a go.
