You have your moments Roman

>>73649767
I gave honest criticism as I said. What, am I supposed to lie and corrupt myself for you?

Your "music" is you playing a bunch of random chords with heavy delay. It's so uninteresting that I thought I was being baited or memed or something. And you're still acting as if it's some "high art" that "You just don't get itttt broooo", lol

The internet has led you down the wrong path man

>>73649767
ill try to give a critic since i listen to alot of instrumental music.

overall its good. but i think you extended the intro a little too much and was afraid to explore the verse or what comes after. did i say that right? production quality is good. playing is good. just keep going

>>73649840
Also honestly, people who think that song is "uninteresting" would probably hate any ambient music that is on the more minimalistic side

>>73649984

anyway, mix is nice no overlapping frequencies it seems

How the fuck do I get smooth note transitions?
Take Metallica's Jump In The Fire for example
In the beginning riff the notes transition smoothly
But when I play it the notes cut off as soon as I change notes
How the fuck do I get smooth transitions

https://instaud.io/13nM

need crit. arpeggio is in C and verse is in D/E
i think the arpeggio is so simple im sure other musicians played it before, but if its original then cool

>>73650035
Practice slowly and use the least possible movement for transitions and continue to do this while steadily increasing speed until you can do it at full speed.

I find it rather annoying that post, after post, after post, you're still searching for that final, clarifying answer that could answer your existential question

Are there any les paul studio variants that have a thinner neck profile? I've played around a bit on a friend's but I just can't get used to the standard thick neck.

>>73650217
60s tribute, still won't be as thin as an Ibanez or anything like that. Closer to a strat.

>>73650056
kek. Every VST is Halion sonic synth, the shit that comes with Cubase. Except for the male choir, thats sonatina choir. (free shit)

>>73650217
the junior should have better neck profile

>>73650143
that's not entirely true

ambient music relies heavily on hardware equipment and technical knowledge of frequencies and how sound, as a physical wave, works

it's not just a guitar plugged into a pedal fx

you should stop listening to music and start reading about music
it will make you a better musician and you won't constantly sound so conceited

You focus on the technical elements of creating a piece, as if plugging a guitar into a delay pedal and using delay musically is some sort of a sin

According to your posts just today we shouldn't worry about your theory, gear, technique, or recording quality.

Are your legs tired from all your backpedaling?

>>73649700
1200$ for old gibson? no.
get an new epiphone emperor.
but that's what i do. its best you play those guitars first

>>73650307
No you misunderstand, stars of the lid is pretty cool. Their compositions are well layered, often played by live ensembles because there is a level of thought that goes into their music that allows it to be reproduced. Even if it sounds basic there is a level of complexity in the production that makes it a spacious and successful piece of ambient music. Your music is in no way comparable, the clip you posted is literally a couple of notes played through the most basic delay (into a loop pedal) with an ebow on top. It's not cleverly layered or produced to make it sound like anything that has any redeeming qualities. Nothing about it is interesting.

You can take the criticisms or not. Most of what I listen to is "atmospheric" music and I'm telling you, your music is closer to a youtube demo of a delay pedal than it is to a thoughtful piece of music.

>>73650310
The only way to loosen up is practice, but correct practice. If you feel any part of yourself tensing up, slow down until you can play it "loosely," and then slowly speed up until you can play it faster without tensing up. It's all muscle memory. Make sure to practice with a metronome as well.

>>73650470
HAHAHA he feel for the memes

At least I'm not a poor mutt with shit genes, I bet you're a manlet too. brb going to uni and making 200k starting when I'm done

>>73650436
I did not "backpedal" on anything. you are just falsely representing what i said and then add made-up things that in ever said.

1. I did say that when composing, you should compose using your imagination, not music theory. so yes, you shouldn't give a fuck about my knowledge of music theory when you are trying to judge my piece.

2. I never said gear,technique or recording quality are not important. they are obviously incredibly important. the music i shared here is just non-produced blueprints that i posted for the sake of sharing my music

Stop what you're doing and tell me what tuning your guitar is in.

>>73650481
You keep describing my music technically instead of actually criticizing what it is.

Honestly your criticism is incredibly dishonest. you could do this with any artist, watch:

"The music of stars of the lid is just synth with reverb and effects. and they just turn the volume up and down sometimes to create dynamics."

See?

>>73650481
And btw i did not use a loop pedal in that piece.

And there is actually more going on than just chords and an e-bow

>>73650541
standard but i don't feel like tuning to drop D just to play country boy

>>73650546
Because the technical aspects in production and composition are a huge part of what makes ambient and drone music what it is. This is how you objectively judge a piece of music in this genre.

>>73650578
Overdubbing then, which is worse because it sounds like a loop due to the lack of development or variation.

>>73650546
Your 'piece' is just bad. Stop deluding yourself and work harder to create something good. You will improve if you weren't such a cunt about your music.

>>73650740
it wasn't "bad" like you describe it.
unlike many in this thread he actually took the time to make a wholesome production. i already said he needs to make it less progressive than it is now so it will be more interesting than the rest of the music in that genre. i don't get why you resort to insults

I said it before: this recording is a blueprint of the piece, not a properly produced one. and would also like to add that ambient music is not just about the production quality. you can get the feeling my piece is going for even in this quality.

>>73650706
Do you really not notice the way the piece develops with all the guitar sounds dancing around it?

>>73650740
If you think that this piece is bad, i respect your opinion. i honestly do. but plenty of people think its a beautiful piece, including myself.

And myself is the first person i make my music for

>>73650546

The technical parts of your music are bad enough that it gets in the way of your intentions.

You're simply not good enough yet to communicate your full imagination.

It's okay, it takes years. No one is saying you need to be a virtuoso.

You just advertise yourself as some sort of transcendent but your skills don't match up.

Let me ask you a question.

If Swans listened to all the people who criticized their music and said it's "unlistenable shit", do you think they would have been as good as they are?

>>73651070
How many people said the music of Swans is "unlistenable bullshit"? plenty of people.

And Swans only succeeded because they didn't care about those people

>>73651092
You're not swans, kid. Listen to your critics, they'll be the proponents of your improvement.

>>73651117
Your criticism of my music is based on your subjective taste. i'm not trying to please your taste in music

>>73651057
well i agree that he needs to work on his harmony. there is no consistency that you would get from a pro musician. there is no clear direction to where the song is going. there is no rising or descending pitches. no opening or endings. but just because its unconventional doesn't mean its bad.

This is why tripfags are cancer

My guitar doesn't really stay in tune for long any more, even with new strings. I've had it for about 10 years and I haven't really taken great care of it. Been in my room (not in a case) throughout many cold and warm seasonal changes etc.
Is this something that can be fixed or is it only gonna be slightly improved at this point? It wasn't super expensive, but not the cheapest guitar either.

This is the most reasonable reply to Crazyaga I've seen. Don't portray your shit as 'truly' incredible if it is not.
>>73651092
They are considerably more popular than you. You can't compare what you are doing to the swans I'm sorry. Music has become so accessible that anybody can pretend to be a musician now. Find your nice and stick with it, seems to be ambient style music which has a huge community. You need to listen to people to improve. Just stop bullshitting yourself and others so you can move on to making good music that might get recognition someday. Stop being pretentious, try to be a more likable and happy person; it will transfer into your music.

>>73651145
have you ever tried producing something

or a cover, something you would consider "finished"

because, no one asked about your album, your current projects and shit, and you're always bragging about how active and productive you are

also, as I told you, you should be more humble
if you think musicians are immune to criticism, you're very much wrong

>>73651145
If music is bad on the level of opinion that's fine
But your refusal to learn music theory and your obviously average technique makes your music bad both objectively and subjectively
I hate listening to classical but I can appreciate the technical and theoretical aspects of it

>>73649767

Dude are you still here? Also I have no sympathy for you if it turns out that you are indeed a shekel grabbing jew.

>>73651209
Nah, my music is truly incredible.

And when Michael Gira was 22 no one knew who is either, btw.

And all of this doesn't really matter because i don't even aim to be famous like Gira, i just gave Swans as an example to show you why sacrificing the music you truly love just to satisfy critics is retarded

>>73651216

>>73651175
hell yeah it can be fixed but you really should just get a new guitar after 10 years you deserve it

>>73651175
stretch your strings out. if it's a bolt on neck check the bolts and make sure they aren't loose (don't make them extremely tight though)

>>73651239
Your music is truly incredible? God it's worse than I thought. You have 14 followers on soundcloud, you haven't released an album or anything at a decent production level, you have won any awards got any record deals etc, you don't even have the start of an online community.
>>73651257
Shut the fuck up. People have made widely sold albums with a fucking MacBook. Even if you were put into a multi million dollar studio you still couldn't make anything worth listening to. It's a game of experience not some bullshit ideas you have. You are so insufferable I can't stop replying to you, I get a kick out of you bullshitting yourself every reply. You make Sam seen likeable, his shit actually has some merit even if it's dad rock and pentatonic wanking.

the bottom line is that bad art is bad art, regardless of whatever grandoise ideas the artist had in their head.
bro, i can get on my bass and play a 5 minute acoustic ambient track with lots of reverb and overdub too. it'll take me about a day and a half, and it won't be good music. why? because there's no substance. there's nothing attractive. there's just airy pseudo-artistic bullshit! which is all you have - pseudo-artistic bullshit, and self-righteous indignation. that's not going to get you anywhere amigo. we're doing this partly because you're annoying and partly because there's an innate human desire to want to see people succeed and improve. if you sit around plugging your ears to any sort of criticism, you're going to continue to make processed, shiny turds for the remainder of your career.

>>73651486
1. The definition of "Bad art" is subjective.

2. I'm sure you can create ambient music too. that doesn't make my music bad. and i also doubt you could make ambient music at my level, but i don't know you so who knows, maybe you are an incredible musician

gud with distortion, but clean is twinkly as hell

your "composition" lacks theme, evolutions, tonal structure, tempo, melodical rhythm and the required technical skill. I wouldn't really call that arpeggio, you switch picking style several times (with a lot of mistakes here and there)

its funny that you compare that recording of yours to a prelude tho, becuase you specifically said you consider "this" as a complete track as-it-is

(while I find comparing you work to Beethoven's is quite sad frankly, but I think he wouldn't be bothered because he was deaf anyway)

art have rules, music have rules. yes SOME people don't need those rules but for 99% of the people it is needed.
whenever you follow the rules or not, you have the same problem as any modern musician, its simply doesn't sound good.
when i first learned to play guitar they let me play classical so i can understand the grounds of music better. i fucking hated playing classical/spanish and i was slow too. but now i understand why we need to follow what other people have done instead of trying to reinvent all the time

1. I did not use a pick

2. Your criticism that my piece lacks "theme, structure, melodical rhythm and tempo" is pure garbage and completely untrue.

It's true in this particular recording there are execution errors, but i do not lack the technical skill required to make a better recording of this

3. Arpeggio has nothing to do with picking style you idiot, playing the notes of a chord in succession is an arpeggio

your gonna need more than 5 months to have perfect transitions friendo :( sad reality is just practice and more practice till you dont need any effort too play single notes. one that helped me with 4 fingers single note playing initially was the riff from muses plug in baby.

dunno if any of that helps but i tried.

>>73652570

>>73652605
He did? He fucks trannies....

>>73652632
Yha, he did.
He then followed me in a bunch of other threads and spammed posts trying to harass me.

He also freaked out when i told him i'm israeli, and he started talking about how he hates jews

i havent been here in forever. whos roman? whos this brazilian that keeps getting mentioned? whos sam? why does everyone hate this crazyaga guy?

>>73654473
Basically one guy who worked there said i should leave because he said "I'm not a good example for the kids". he later elaborated and said its because of how i smell and look. i went to this place for years and that never happened to me before. it was a new guy working there

Samuel, That song was pretty simplistic, but the classical guitar piece was pretty complicated.

And btw, about that "simplistic" piece, the chords are not "bullshit chords". they are not basic major/minor chords that you learn when you learn to play guitar. and also the piece gently develops with other sounds around it, the chords are the center of the piece but not all of it

>>73655378

i only listened to that one soundcloud link and i have to disagree. it was definitely minimal, but a structure is definitely there.
