    What's been your latest accomplishment?

    Making an ok song but very well packed in with vocals, also trying a very weird song structure with this song. The song is actually quite fun to perform actually. To then make a song after that one very catchy and it makes me feel hopeful and happy about it. I was doubtful about the song...

    Dammit, Am I copying someone with this riff?

    Naughty, Naughty me I need to start arpeggiating chords down the neck.

    Dammit, Am I copying someone with this riff?

    I think I must be thinking about a progression that is a lot faster. Like one of those top 100 riff songs.

    Dammit, Am I copying someone with this riff?

    As soon as I hit the first chord I knew the somewhat chord melody but I'm thinking to myself could I have subconsciously have copied someone. Like my other song that I completed many said I copied red hot chili pepper in the intro but like I never listened to that song, I could see the...

    Why am I finding it hard to come up with a catchy vocal melody for this?

    I think I did ok with the guitar but with the voice, I am so unsure. Is it because my chord progression is too complex I thought this would make the song easier to be more catchy and perhaps unique. Perhaps I'm getting too "arrogant" or confident and getting deluded in my ability. The songs demo...

    How do I create my own unic sound?

    I think it's just natural whatever you hear in your head and you want to make the melody or chords on the keyboard guitar voice etc. That's you if you overthink it you are not making your sound. I previously wanted to make more pop music because that's what people like but recently when I just...

    I agree theory will make you make your music much easier, however...

    Thanks for that explanation, it made a lot of sense. I guess I am on the right path. I think what I can do is learn more complex chords. When I was originally referring to the theory I was in my mind thinking of solo lines. For the next song I am trying out more dissonant chords or complex but...

    How is jazz meant to be enjoyed?

    Dammit, I really was hoping I could develop and like the genre. It doesn't sound bad, everything makes sense it's intriguing it's just I do not love it. There is a particular part in senor mouse that I like but I'm assuming that it is because it strays away from conventional jazz.

    How is jazz meant to be enjoyed?

    I have been trying to "expand my pallette" So I tried listening to a lot of jazz. To me, it seems that jazz is there to be listened to neither be enjoyed nor hated. I think my favorite song so far is senor mouse. To me, jazz gives a nice aura but doesn't make me sweeten my ear it's not like an...

    I agree theory will make you make your music much easier, however...

    Spoken like a philosopher in the last part. "Instead of worrying about knowing too much, worry about not knowing more." Shit! I could use that quote for life in general. I don't even know what to say next. I did however try to find out if every scale has been discovered in music I seemed to have...

    Comment by 'Andrew Fernandes' in media 'douce ambiance improv'

    Sounds like a villain dancing with the protagonist female trying to sway her to do evil things. It's kinda like a live-action, not a cartoon a Disney film, and I mean this as a compliment of course. Sounds Latin, not sure if this is a Latin backing track. Must be very hard to keep the improv...

    Thanks for everyone commenting, just to clarify I know 100% knowing music theory will help a lot and make my understanding much better which in turn makes my music better. TreSavedge's comment is very good it kinda explains what I was feeling. It's more about if I know everything like... O I am...

    I agree theory will make you make your music much easier, however...

    However, I feel if I learn it further it takes away from the magic. It is cool just to use your ear and then some other theory head like Rick Beato says your a genius loool and explains what precisely you were doing like what scale etc makes it intriguing that you had no idea what you was doing...

    Harmonies seem difficult for me i can do it but there will always be one or 2 wrong notes when i try to transpose it.

    Can I have some constructive help for my songs mixing/song. (it's unmixed)

    I would love to give it to you, but I don't have the project file, my producer at the charity for artists with mental health has it on their system. Thank you for the offering though. I think their not allowed to share the project file even with me.

    Can I have some constructive help for my songs mixing/song. (it's unmixed)

    Yeah, I did for everything really except the main chorus, I did double-track the "hated for ma.." Only really double-tracked the "heart" word in the chorus and "inside" O and I didn't double-track the hear me nowwww oww. It was more a decision on my part to double-track because my first producer...
