It's pretty long, and instrumental, but I really like it and I want to get some feedback on it.

I promise it doesn't suck. I'd really really appreciate it. Thanks Big Grin

Sounds good, I'd like to hear some vocals, but I guess in that explosions in the sky kind of style it's hard. Critique wise, I suggest changing it up a bit though it gets a bit repetitive. Add some keyboards, bass, etc. Ummm that high E string is painfully flat Frowner which stands out when you're playing higher notes, and the drums are kind of annoying (are they real ?) the kick drum sounds like it's a sample being faded in every few seconds, which is what bothers me, otherwise though I like it, gotta love delay :P

sounds neat. kind of repetetive in the beginning, but good. i think it could use some vocals, like james said. the trick with instrumental music is making it sound like there are words, if that makes sense. this sounds like more of an instrumental version of a song than an actual instrumental song. to me anyways.

Yeah when that second guitar comes in, it does sound very explosion in the sky-like. sounds good, I'd like to hear some more. And I don't think the drums are THAT bad. It definitely sounds like you know what you're doing and it turned out great. The "chorus" would sound incredible with vocals.

And if I were you, I'd feel pretty good, because everyone is really harsh on here when it comes to user made music, be they covers or originals.

Thanks for the responses everyone!

The drums actually are sampled. I was going to mention that in the first post, but I wanted to see what people had to say about them first. I tried to make them sound as real as possible, but I realize that to anyone who's used to listening to music, it's pretty obvious that they're sampled.

Also, in regards to the high e being flat, I think my guitar needs a setup pretty badly. I didn't notice it while I was recording, but I can definitely hear it now.

well the beginning is pretty slow, but it picks up soon enough so it's not a big deal. the drums do seem out of place and even more after i read the other posts and listened out for it. haha. overall though, i really liked it. mainly, i'd love to to hear some vocals for this. i like instrumental music and all, but this particular song could improve a lot with good vocals.
