[[Superior Take on me Remix]]

Nice

This is pretty good. Congrats on your 100th review from DanRaniera! How did you get commentary instead of description!?

RyanTime2 responds:

its a new feature! edit your works

[Stu Jam]

Dude, you're amazing

I've been checking out your work for a while and I've come to the conclusion that you're fucking insane! You're a great composer and an even better guitarist! And this track is no exception. Stuart Hamm is an excellent bassist. Is this the solo from Live in San Francisco by Joe Satriani?

How long have you been playing guitar?

Can you please check out my work? That would mean a lot to me if YOU out of all people did. (Yeah I sound like a noob don't I? Asking people to look at my work.) I promise no disappointments.

Metalcan responds:

Thanks a lot! Yep it's the solo from Live in SF. I've been playing for something like 14 years. Sure, I'll check out your work. :)

[Always With Me Always Wit]

Wow

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

Metalcan responds:

Thanks a lot, yeah she loved it. :)

[Mother Russia]

Really good!

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

Metalcan responds:

Thanks a lot!

[Dark Lament]

OMG! I almost got a heart attack!

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.

DJ-Ultimize responds:

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!

[Desert Rose]

That was awesome

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.

Metalcan responds:

Cool, yeah maybe we could do that sometime! Thanks!

[A Collection of Guilt]

Meh

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.

Goatchrist responds:

I'm aware that it might take a few listens to fully grasp the song and the distorted sound was intentional ;)

Thanks

["Money" Jam.]

Could be WAY better...

If you put in a drum kit, it will sound 10x better and more exciting.

Fun Fact: The absence of drums kill rock songs.

[Mario64|Vanish Cap|Ambient Mix]

Wow

This is amazing! My first girlfriend was a huge Mario fan and everytime I saw her, we played Mario a lot! Thanks for the memories!

I notice you've have improved, young grasshopper.

In case, you've forgotten, I was the guy that gave you that review recommending my "Computer Jam" track for some inspiration. Yeah, you've definitely improved quite a bit, but you could still use some more advice.

1. Try creating other genres of music. For instance, I've created "Latin Jam", "Return to Forever" (a three-part rock/jazz/classical effort), and that "Day in the Park" piece of mine you liked. Speaking of which, try different tempos too.

2. Music is more than just melding riffs, basslines, and drums together. Try to create a story (see Return to Forever, all three parts), or at least a jam (you know, riff with a solo above it). Try to put that extra effort into it.

3. It would also help you A LOT if you took up a musical instrument. GarageBand is fine, but it's limited. Check out some of my actual recordings and see if you can find THOSE riffs on GarageBand lol. My recordings are "Super Static" (first recording so, kinda scratchy), "In My Astro", "Never Again", "I Don't Care", and "Metamorphosis". Personally, I'd recommend guitar and/or sax, those are really cool instruments.

4. For a more convincing live sound, go to master track and...well, you'll know what to do from there.

5. This is probably just a reiteration of #2 but don't be afraid to experiment. Try putting drumlines in "Big Electric Lead" or something. I tried that in my "Hip Hop-Rock Experiment". I even created a drum solo out of the GarageBand basslines set to max speed.

That's it off the top of my head for now.
