Great work Alun.
Will this remain just an improvisation piece or do you have any intention on developing it further? I can definitely see that the structure is there to add lyrics etc?
How do you go about recording your acoustic? I want to try and record some acoustic myself in the near future.

Hi Olly, Thanks for listening, No it won't go any further, it was just something made up this morning while I was waiting for my good lady,
I record straight into the inbuilt mic's on my Tascam dp004, both for electric and acoustic. default/smile

Re: Post your tune if you'd like to hear an honest opinion (36 replies, posted in Songwriting on Guitar)

Are there any questions that you have, or was there a point you were wanting to make? I intentionally did not post any more detailed opinions on Fender out of respect to you, sir, so, I am hoping that you aren't taking this occasion to snipe at me, unless you'd be interested in resuscitation of that discussion.

Yes my question is: How can I become as perfect as you, default/roll
And the point I want to make is:I think you see yourself a bit above the average human, But I don't think you are. So you just go for it.

An idea. Perhaps I can be pointed towards albums where this has been done?
A 6-string electric guitar. The top 2 strings tuned to D and the remaining strings tuned to E. With Bottom E strings for all 6 strings. So, if the first 4 strings on one fret are held and all 6 strings played the result would be three 2-string power chords (I think).
Perhaps this is a set-up and tuning for someone who is not a guitarist.
Some careful filing at the nut would be required. The Bridge too?
Are there any dangers with this?

I was away when this went on, are you being serious? default/roll
No you can't be, can you? default/hmm

As Mikey says, you'll never learn to play, And of course it'll f*** up your guitar, the strain on the neck would be to much, you would never get the intonation correct, and finally, once you've filed your top nut and bridge saddles you should consider your guitar knackered.
the sensible thing to do is just string it up correctly and learn to play. default/cool
