That was amazing. I don't think anyone could have done it better (besides Satriani himself of course) I bet your girlfriend loved it.

Too bad it's only 1:38. I would have listened to more...

That, like, fucking came out of nowhere at max volume! The guitar was too fucking loud. The composition itself was fair (I would of given it a 7) but it suffered greatly due to overpowering distortion and volume and lack of clarity, thus taking away my enjoyment, from 7 to 1. Turn it down, make the melody clearer, add a keyboard, bass, and drumkit or whatever you want and the song will be, like, 10 times better. Keep trying! You have the potential to be a good musician, I can tell. I can help you out if you want.

Thanks for the review, it'll really help, fortunately i have an electric piano... But i don't have a bass, and i have a shitty drum kit. I will turn it down and re-submit it since i know that'll help. Check back in a few days and it'll be working again!

You guys can really shread. I'm somewhat a shreadder myself. On keyboards though. Maybe we could do a collaboration. Like a guitar vs. keyboard thing or something. I have classical influence.
Author's Response:
Cool, yeah maybe we could do that sometime! Thanks!

Too much distortion. I'm pretty sure the composition itself was good but maybe if you lowered the distortion enough to understand the chords, I probably would of enjoyed it.
Author's Response:
I'm aware that it might take a few listens to fully grasp the song and the distorted sound was intentional ;)
Thanks

You should put this under blues or general rock instead. Btw, what program did you use?
Author's Response:
I used Cubase SX3 for the overall mixing process. Amplitube 2 for distortion, and EZ Drummer for the drums. =) And I changed it to general rock.

I gave you 1 star because at least this is not a bunch of noise or stupidity. But calling it hardcore sex to make people click on it is mad low. I knew this wasn't hardcore sex anyway. I just clicked on it to badly review the noise you made.

noise is cool

It's funny you submit this now because I saw this after I deleted my MySpace (mainly because of spamming).
On to constructive criticism: When I criticize rap, I look at the timing of the rapper, the lyrics, and the delivery (the 3 most important elements)
Rap Timing: not that good. Just because rap doesn't use the music theory as extensively as other genres of music doesn't mean you can rap as fast or as slow as you want in a set tempo. I recommend rapping to a metronome or a 4/4 drum beat to improve. Start at a slow tempo like 50 and work your way up.
Lyrics: I couldn't make out the lyrics that well. See Delivery.
Delivery: this is what rap is all about. You must stay consistent and make sure your delivery reflects your feelings toward the subject. There were patches in the song where you were too quiet for me to make out the lyrics, then you go back to normal volume. If you're angry about myspace, be angry!
Trust me. I know what good rap and bad rap sounds like. I am a music critic and I know someone who is an awful rapper.
Author's Response:
It's totally fine. I really appreciate your constructive review. I obviously SUCK at rapping, I have to get into the feeling next time. But I really apprecaite it. Thank you so much.
