Ravens Call
It's a new song I'm currently working on. I got the inspiration when I was playing down by the river and I saw a Raven with a broken leg sitting 3 feet away from me looking up into the sky. Thoughts, Suggestions? I hope you like it.

Something about it just seems too jumbly.
Idk, I like clean sounding music. Thats why I listen to techno :P

I tuned my guitar so I think it's the crappy audio quality of my mic ^^

You sound very out of tune.
Other than that I like it.
You could theoretically change the bass note(open string you hit all the time), still you normally want to go to a repeating note in a picking patterns but I think your pattern does that in my opinion so I would change the bass note. If you tell me how you play it I'll throw more suggestions at you.

You could try playing this in DADGAD or Open G. Keep the pattern but the notes would change but the sound would be more in key, particularly in Open G

Does the fact that I'm missing the e-string (the last one, highest pitch) affect the DADGAD pattern and how it'd sound?
#9
You'd lose the last D of Dadgad. You'd be DADGA. You'd be ok though, I think.
Since you're based off the D, G, & B strings, I feel Dadgad would work really well. You could play the whole thing an octave lower and you could substitute strings and pretty much any thing you play will be in key.

Before you change any thing though, how does this sound?
*from here just strum the G and B string, hit the D if you want or dont; just keep the triplet rhythm

lol idk how I'd play that..

And the whole song sounds grody in DADGA. You can try it on your guitar, maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Sorry didn't know LG was gonna fuck the tab.

If you're in standard the strings are the same three you were using. I'm just leaving off the other strings since we're not using them.
The slant indicates you pick each not one at a time, the stack means you'd play them at the same time.

I get what you're saying. Post the tab again, but copy mine and edit it. Layering the tab section by section so it fits.
I'm really interested in how this would play out.

The notes with ( ) around them indicates they don't have to be played) I prefer not playing them purposefully and letting my strum cause the string to resonate.

ah okay that sounds much better =] I like it. It's neat you took that wierd jump from 1, 3, 5 to 8 and 10 and it still sounded good.
I need your facebook btw.
