Instrumental CDs
I've been working on an instrumental cd that i woul like to give to some friends and stuff like that. But i need a few pointers: About half of the songs are strait improv over chord progressions (about 3 different chord progressions a song) is that ok, or do i need like a catch line or a melody line?

Sing a bit of "Sha la la" or something over the top, it never sounds bad. Ever.

MELODY IS THE KEY, I REPEAT, MELODY IS THE KEY...
Nobody cares about your chops or mine (that includes improvisation). But if you can write a melody that'll stick in people's head, you have got gold in your hands. (remember Cobain?)

Your tune ought to start with a 'hook' be it a nice catchy line, or a special effect, just something that people will say 'hey, I wanna hear more!'

it also depends on what style your playing. If you play something that you feel is phenomenal for your age/skill whatever, record it. dont compromize yourself for your fans.
but...if you want somebody to say "hey this rocks!" when talking about your music, you might want to compromize a little (not like your selling out).

start it simple and add what you think would sound cool and move on from there. lol i think thats the most fun way to do that
