First original song

giggsy

Okay, here is my first original recording. Again I struggled with the drums and, after a week, decided to ditch them all together... for now... all of my tracks are works in progress and will be revisited and tweaked.

I was worried that there is not much to this song (no solo's, basically only one guitar track), but after listening to a lot of my favourite songs I realised that not all of them are hard to play - apart from one or two of the solo's, I can play them all... maybe that's just an excuse though 'cos I am not good enough to come up with major riffs and solos! ?

But anyway, here it is:

And here is the second one - more of a Kings of Leon vibe I suppose. Still cant get the drums right in Hydrogen >☹

Giggsy, finally got a chance to listen.

Sounding great bro. Nice indy-rock influence. I hope you get your other instruments sorted soon.

Just found this now. Decent tone and recording and has indy potential.

Are you trying to add the drums after recording the guitar part? That's very difficult unless the guitar has been recorded with a click. Usually you write the drums first and then add all the other stuff afterwards. Far easier...

Thanks for the comments Guy and Alan - much appreciated. And thanks for the drumming tip - will give that a try for my next recording.
