If you know your material, and look like you're into it, the audience will be your best friend. You will soon be able talk easily to your best friend...right? |

| | | | Thanks you guys! I'll link you the video when my friend's done uploading it! But yeah, as soon as I got on stage and rang my first note, I was just locked in with the music- no fear, just limitless and free. I felt amazing afterwards!

| I could hear it.
Your a young guy, I'm almost 60, I just didn't get it or understand it.
I have no idea of what you were doing. Consider it a compliment. I'm sure your your target market isn't 60 year olds.

Blue | Well thank you very much! To be honest I don't think my music has any specific target audience, it's just as to what I personally like. Haha.

I thought there would be comments from younger guys that understand what exactly you weren't doing.

| I am still curious about why interest in the thread dropped to nothing after you posted the videos.
There must be tbers your age that understand what your doing.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2012 Location: Gent, Belgium | | First of all I think most TB here aren't really that much into metal (which is what I'd call the OP's set...) ... So probably already little sympathy here.
Reminds me very much of Cliff Burton solo's, tone wise.
I really like the fat full tone you get from your bass. What FX?
Must say I was pretty concerned how interesting you could make it with only bass, but it kind of rocks. Would still be better with a drummer and some extra instrument for melodic interest, but pretty suprised what you did there.
You pulled it of to keep it interesting for the most part.
You clearly have talent as a bass player.
Criticism wise: what I am missing as a more traditional bass enthousiast is more groove. Melodic-wise it's interesting but I think you can improve on the rhytmic aspect. I'm missing a steady groove and more rhytmic foundation.
But I'm no pro .
Kudos though for a first gig. Would never have the balls to do that... |

And I honestly would have loved a drummer (especially for the 2nd of half of "Pulling Teeth"), but I did my best to work with what I had. As for my FX, I used a Behringer Hellbabe Wah pedal and a DF-& Distortion Factory pedal. I did try my best at playing some of the clean stuff (some I wrote) but I think it definitely would have sounded better if another instrument was accompanied. I have to say, I'm perfectly content with my first song I played. Also, if you couldn't tell, I consider Cliff Burton a very huge influence on my playing.
