after years of noodling around i bought cakewalk and decided to try my hand at composing. if anyone would care to give any constructive criticism, etc. . . i'd really welcome the input.

a few compositions are posted on mp3.com:

thanks in advance.

Very smooth.
Sounds like a mellow Satriani tune.

I dig it man. Sounds like the peices complement each other well. :)

thanks gbrooks and Barfly, you're too kind. i thought i might post my email address in case anyone would feel more comfortable sending comments that way:

thanks!

has anyone else out there fiddled around with a "c" or fifths tuning for the bass? i've tried it on 2 songs and kind of like it. seems to give the song a very deep resonance. . .

just curious as to what more experienced bass players think.

elan.

listened to your stuff... pretty sweet... :)

and I also checked out bathtubgirl.com....

DUDE!!!!!!! :D

those your friends? :cool:

no, not a friend, i ran across her site from a link from google. she has a cd icon that says send me your mp3's so i sent her the tune "susan's shoes".

my wife actually encouraged me to start recording, that sweet woman!

thanks for the compliment, you're too kind.

does your wife know about your little friendship with bathtubgirl?

:D

just kidding... nice stuff...

yeah, the missus raised an eyebrow when i had her listen to "dirty girl's theme song" . . .

but, she hasn't kicked me outta the house. yet.

thanks for the compliment though.
