[Tonyy]

Gidday, everyone...glad to meet  cha'ya!

 

Straight off...I gotta explain the extra "Y" in my name. The four letter version was already taken...so, what the heck...I added another "Y". FINALLY! I ain't associated with a four letter word!

 

I'm really at a crossroads in my life. I just turned 21...again...for the third freakin' time! I'm 63...and have had a life of music.(Yep...a Woodstock alumni, too...) Jingles. Commercial music...like ya hear in elevators. I always had a love/hate relationship with it...but it's paid the bills. But now...as I look back on the rows I've hoed...it's a freakin' long way back! But!!!! When I look the other way...to see what the way forward looks like...I can readily see the fence. That's it. Finito...

 

So...I am driven to get me a Grammy. I'm even starting a Bach in Popular Music at Griffith Uni. One son (24, keys & electronic compositions) has already earned his Bach. My second son (22, bass) is in it, now...my third son (20, 6-string) is getting his arm twisted by me to start along with me.

 

I've got a REALLY nice studio out here: AVID C-24 desk, 8-core MAC, ProTools HD...Moogs/Key Synths/Guitar Synths...all sorts of doo-dads. We are off in the rainforest way behind Murwillumbah. NICE!!! My boys always are here using the facilities and I get to jam with them all the time. They have just finished their first album...

 

Me? I play guitar. Yep. I'm good, too. I write pretty good, too. Well, so I've convinced myself, anyway! With all my experience in jingles...I do have VERY strong and MEMORABLE stuff with "in yer face hooks" and melodies. My playing buddies are all in the USA and they are session musos. I miss them, HEAPS...and we were kids, together, long long ago. We get together to do things, still...and we are working on a killer album right now. The "in house demos" are nothing short of shockingly good. I can hardly wait to get everything recorded "for real". One shortcoming...is finding a singer as good as the rest of us. That search continues...

 

My influences have brought me to come up with what I call my playing genre: Soph Rock. Pronounce it "soft rock"...meaning "sophisticated". No three chord run of the mill stuff. R/4/5 with 7ths gets trite and boring. So do 4 chord cycles that go on and on and end up nowhere...

 

Beatles, Moody Blues, Rush, Supertramp, Yes (I already have tix for their Nov 14th show), Who, Queen, Brahms, Mahler...

 

My favourite guitarist is...far and away...Jeff Beck. Sure, Henrdrix and Clapton, too...but Jeff Beck heads up my list...

 

For you 6-stringers out there...here's how I'm set up...

 

I have heaps of guitars...and have used an Ibanez Artist EQ for donks. JUST getting my new Gibson set up from my guitar guy:

 

Les Paul "studio". Light strings (.008's). Besides the stock Humbuckers on it...I have it being fitted with a third Humbucker in the middle...but it's getting rewound for two outputs to put out EAD & GBE separately. (Criminy! I'm STILL waiting for it to be finished!) I put the regular output into the board...as well as the other two...split EAD far left and GBE far right. Playing "out loud"...I have a small bass amp for the bottom strings and a trebly amp for the top three strings. I keep the amps separated about three meters apart. My Artist is set up like this...along with a Roland synth pickup on it, too. I'll get the Roland pickup swapped over to the new LP as soon as I get it in me hands!

 

So...why did I get onto this site??? Companionship...peer reviews...swapping playing techniques and recording ideas...keeping abreast of today's trends and "what's goin' on"...and being able to not be so much of an "analogue dinosaur" in this digital age!

 

What else can I add??? Not a whole lot, I guess!!!

 

Cheers!

EDIT: Hey! I thought this was an Aussie site! Nope...what the heck...so what...I'm in Australia! I'm cool with that...

[RosesAreRed]

Hello! Figured I should start by letting people know about me. I'm still young, but I know music is what I want to do with my life. I've got the attention span of a squirrel, but that doesn't mean I'm not a hard worker my username only comes from the fact that I love roses, I love red, you can figure out the rest!

1. Do you sing, play an instrument or instruments?

Yes, all three! Singing is my main point; I could be in the middle of a mob and still lose myself in a song. I've sang since I knew how, and it fills me with a passion that I just can't get anywhere else. I know guitar...well, I'm self-taught, but I can still play famous songs and my own fairly well, I'd say.

When I was ten or so, I bought my first guitar, a cheap acoustic. It broke constantly, took a lot of fixing and definitely wasn't the best, but I loved it to death...and still have it!

Hehe, oops, already said up there I did.

2. Are you in a band or bands?

No, I'm a lone wolf. I haven't met anybody yet who is serious about it like I am.

3. Do you write songs?

Oh, yes yes yes! I write lyrics for the most bit; I've only ever written music a few times, but I do know how.

I do not have a writing partner.

4. Do you record your music?

Kind of... I haven't had any official recordings, although I do have at home for my own practice/critiques.

5. What other roles do you perform in the music business?

Not in it quite yet.

6. Are you a tech head?

Uh, no!

7. What country do you live in?

Canada

8. What are your ambitions?

My ultimate goal is to perform my songs at Madison Square Garden on New Years Eve....but until then, at the moment it's simply to get my notoriety up so that I can build a reputation, and hopefully have a company take interest in me and take me on.

9. Do you draw/paint/write stories/computer art/dance or other creative pursuit?

Oh for sure, I'm a very creative person! I love dance, and I write stories and poetry as well. A lot of what I do are just hobbies though; singing is my main focus. I've also had my phase of making jewelry and accessories, although I never put anything up for sale.

10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff?

I want real feedback on my lyrics and writing scheme, and see where I can improve. I'd also like to see what other people do, and hopefully get some inspiration. I need some real critiquing before I send my songs off; when I look at them, I usually see 5 pieces of junk and one bright gem. I'd like to know where I can improve, what I need to do and how good of a chance I've got at people being interested in what I write.

[Deejay Trinity]

1. Do you sing, play an instrument or instruments?....yes

What instruments?....drums, guitar,

When did you start playing?

- drums - age 18

Did you teach yourself?

no

2. Are you in a band or bands?....joined my first band at age 18

What is the name of the band?....none

Do you have a band website?....several artist websites...just me though, at least for right now

3. Do you write songs?....yes

Do you write lyrics, music or both?....both

Do you have a writing partner?.....no

4. Do you record your music?.......yes

Do you use a home studio? If so what gear do you use?.....home studio/freestanding Tascam 24 track digital deck along with a mish-mosh of other gear

Do you use a recording studio?...nope!....strictly a hobbiest now

Do you have music available on the web? if so where? songsnsingles.com

5. What other roles do you perform in the music business?

Management? Label owner? Publishing? Promotion? Other?...really doesn't apply to amateurs like myself

6. Are you a tech head?...no,

7. What country do you live in?......USA

8. What are your ambitions?...musically speaking, to be able to continue functioning as a dedicated amatuer, continue growing as both a songwriter & a home studio technician and to constantly remind myself that I'm not a pro & that I should feel pretty good about whatever validation I manage to get along the way..........anything beyond that, will just be icing on the cake for me.

9. Do you draw/paint/write stories/computer art/dance or other creative pursuit?...not really, music is my primary creative outlet

What are your pastimes? I try to keep in some kind of reasonable physical shape, catch some TV & movies and work on things musical.

10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff?I continue to learn, recieve feedback and get perspective from others who know as much or more about things musical as I do.

[Blcarter89]

Hi there. I'm Brian.

I play guitar, have been for six years, and have taught myself with YouTube and just a good set of ears.

I am in a experimental hardcore metal band. Our name is losing mercury, check us out on Facebook, reverbnation, and bandcamp.

I write most of the lyrics for our band, and I write lyrics for my solo projects.

I also write all of the guitar for our band, and of course my solo stuff.

We have recorded our 8 songs in our own home studio and our vocalist did his best to mix them.

We are currently recording in a friends studio, and it sounds loads better!

My goals in being on this site are to get my name and band out there, to gain insight on my lyrics, and to meet and converse with fellow musicians/lyricists.

Thanks for reading, sorry for the sloppy format.

Peace.

[alek]

I would sincerely love any feedback on my music, preferably not brutal.
