Here's the first one. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7211907 Just a little jam I did, nothing special, and by far not my best playing, but it was nice to take a break from the stuff I have been writing. I did each instrument in one take, so there's a few quite noticeable mistakes, but I think it's got potential. Thinking maybe drop the effect board from the mix, speed it up a bit, add a solo, and spice up the bass part. Here's the second one. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7211942 This one has been around for a little while. Wrote it for my GF, but I kinda want to do something more with it. Not really sure, but thinking of making it fully acoustic, maybe a little slide work, nothing fancy. The way things are right now, it may be the intro to one of my heavier songs. Just give your thoughts, any ideas you have. I've been hitting a wall with my writing recently, so I'm an open book, hit me with anything. Give me a couple months, and I should have some of my metal stuff up with click tracks. I'm kind of anal when it comes to recording. Comes from the years of classical piano, I'm guessing...

	and now for something completely different

The first clip is pretty fresh and i like it, I would maybe make it a little faster like you said and do some more with the bass but other that it's wicked. ;D The 2nd is very relaxing and i found myself bobbing to it although it does repeat a bit and i did end up skipping the last 30 secs or so since i had a good idea of what was coming. I mean only to help and you have my respect you are a very impressive player and i have no doubt in my mind that the final product will be great.
