A very short thought, or a bubble. A fleeting moment. Built around a Csus2/F# to Cmaj9(add13). That's it. Just a moment. Just this evening. Love me some lydian and b9 and #7 sounds. Acoustic guitar, DADGAD capo 7. 🔹 Quarter-to.mp3

Here is a quick semi-improvised piece I made! 🔷--...-- - waltz for chapter 11 of a movie (or business).mp3 It is based on 2 basic ideas really, a Eb6/9 (or Eb6b9) to Db6/9 movement (with the occasional Dm/F) and a morse code idea that evolves into what resembles a 11/8 pattern (--...--/2+2+3+2+2). The idea in the very start is a Dbm to Eb#9 (omit5, sometimes with a 6 too; basically a reduced Hendrix). The tuning is Drop-D with the E-string tuned up by around 20-25 cents. This is a technique I like to use to make things sound out of place - or to give them that slight microtonal colour. My question would be building on this. Like many of my guitar compositions this was originally an impro session, then I recorded my attempts to redo that impro session. TWO CENTRAL QUESTIONS. *How much detail is too much?* (in notation) -> As this composition is highly impro-based and there are a lot of small improvisatory moments (i.e. the percussive sounds which have a specific place in the form but not specific rhythms or techniques) and I'm wondering how much of them has to be notated. Also there are moments where I purposefully "throttle" the rhythm, like towards the end, where the rhythm fragments and by effect the pace slows down. What's the best way to both visually AND verbally (an)notate this *fragmentation*? I want to have both visual and verbal, reinforcing one another. *What instrumentation do you see fit for this?* -> I want to add other instruments - or effects too maybe - to this piece once I notate it. My mind first wonders towards R. Dyens' ideas for Libra Sonatine if I recall correctly: Originally for guitar, arranged for gtr, contrabass, fiddle and percussions. Ensemble Dre's rendition (spotify) . But I am wondering what to do. Often these first feel so... intimate for the guitar to me, but I still yearn for other instruments to join. This is a long standing block for me. (I also want to know what you guys think of my, self-claimed to be hilarious title) Love from Finland, Pyry

I purchased a new interface for my computer and this is the very first, fully structured guitar track I've made using it. It's the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface. I've never mixed and mastered a track recorded from an interface before, so I'm not sure how well the quality is...but from you guys reviews it'll help in the future.

My main instrument is guitar (of course, after my lovely laptop!) and I enjoy when I write for guitar or play others' works on my guitar. Also, I have a deep love to rock and metal music, so tonight, after a long time, I decided to make an instrumental rock track. There's no score unfortunately, but there's a mp3 file available! P.S : As I can't shred well, I did shreds with computer!
