"Solstice Movement 1"

Description: My attempt at neo-classical

'While It Rained'

http://www.captivatinguitar.com/audio/[MattSmith]While_it_rained.mp3

I like the goat thing and the nuclear one, I'm not too crazy 'bout the others. I guess I'm no big fan of sweeping and could get cleaner too.
But cool though!!

Hey thanx, I used Leafdrums 2.2 and imported sampled drum kit sound files. It's got a very easy GUI and works well in my opinion.

Heh, how flattering (I think). :p I haven't written any tabs for these tunes yet, but I certainly could if you'd like. Which ones did you have in mind?

I dunno...I really liked them all...If you could do some powertabs for whichever ones you think appropriate, I think some of your ideas would be nice to utilize in my own playing.

Yeah, absolutely. I'm just very busy with school right now (mid-term time), but I will certainly tab out some stuff soon...perhaps this weekend. :)

Ok Jolly, here's a brief tab for Solstice Movement 1 in Powertab format. I'm not the best at tabbing, but it demonstrates the main ideas. As I get more time, I'll slowly tab out all the tunes.

I do have a few on my computer at home, but I'm at college now, and I'm waiting for someone to do drum tracks for me

Unfortunatly I dont have a webpage, but I'll try to get some up eventually

All your songs are great man, but I am frickin' hooked on the goat sucker one. That is one badass funky mofo of a song. I crave tabs.

Hey, thanks man. :) Serving up one Goat Sucker tab this weekend w/ scrambled eggs! :D


Here's some older tunes for your amusement...recorded with my band.This one features yours truly on vocals/guitar and this one is an instrumental w/ a drum solo...kinda 'SRV'ish. You decide.
