constructive criticism. . .

[elan_virpul]

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.

[Gabu]

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:

elanvirpul@mail.com

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!!!!!!!

those your friends?

[elan_virpul]

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.

[The_Bass]

does your wife know about your little friendship with bathtubgirl?



just kidding... nice stuff...

[elan_virpul]

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.
