Statistics are that there are some really talented dudes on this forum and I love listening to as much music as I can possibly manage because everything I hear is almost a lesson.

So share with me your bands/productions -- I'd love to hear you guys music. I'm about to do a degree in music production and can't wait for it to start.

I myself am not a particularly proficient musician nor producer but I love doing it all the same and I'm a keen and eager learner. You can check out my music via MySpace (sigh, shit bitrate) by clicking here.

Music being music is an art and as people we get opinionated about that but I will be really annoyed if anyone just downright criticises any music in here. I love constructive criticism because it allows us to learn but I see so many videos on YouTube and so many people criticised musically that it stops them from wanting to learn. Let this be a note to all of you that I'll report anyone who needlessly puts down someone elses music without suggesting sensible improvements.

Hopefully we can have a good discussion and share our collective musical knowledge and opinion in this thread.

This is a cool idea, thanks for starting it. Here's a link to my friend's band that I might be the newest member of next week.

I myself want to pursue a career as a musician. Music is what keeps my life stable. Without it, I could pretty much just forget about living and not regret it. Music is my life.

But as for actually making original music, and sitting down and attempting to record a song, I haven't gotten to that yet. I haven't really done anything I feel is worth sharing (seriously, not as for a laugh or just to put it out there, but a serious song that I feel works), with the internet. But when I do something, I'm sure to post it on Youtube.

This reminds me of Tom Waits. I love stuff with slide guitar - I think I'm a sucker for that kind of playing. Hey you guy's would definitely like Zooey Deschanel's (the actress, stay with me here) side project She & Him. What are they recruiting you to play?

I'm working on some music at the moment, although I don't deem much of it listenable yet. When you're a 15 year old with too much time on your hands, a guitar, a piano, some ambition, and little to no musical training, shit can get crazy. It's not quite as bad as that makes it sound, though. :P

I remember you mentioning making your own music. Do you actually have a song up somewhere?

if you goto the myspace page in the more info bit you can hear a few of the songs i did when i was 15, i was 17 when i did that video, I've never really advertised the page to people, just had it as a place to have my music.
Also the vesion of familiar desolation on there is far superior since it has about 8 layered guitarsand you can hear the drums and so on

That's so fast. That's awesome man. In terms of my musical taste that kind of sound doesn't really appeal to me but I totally respect and admire the technique to be able to perform something like that.

I actually listened to the song on your MySpace because I could hear the notes more clearly.

Cheers, yeah it's not everyones cup of tea, especially around here which is why i never got a proper band on there, the guys listed on there are friends who i practiced with maybe once. The drums are a bit nuts on Familiar Desolation specifically because before i was stuck withthe drum pads on my recorder, but then i got a drum machine on my computer and went craaaazy

Since I don't play that kind of music might I ask what tuning your guitar is in for that video?

...the songs on there are about 2 years old and really basic...they were recorded with a USB headset :P ...I haven't recorded anything new because I don't have the equipment I'd like to record my new songs...I'm not the biggest fan of what I got up there, but I haven't updated the stuff (2 years obviously) and it's something I guess...

...and Mash-up is not a song :P
