I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to give me some feedback on a handful of tunes that I have written and posted on this site. The tunes can be accessed by finding my history in the members page. The tunes were written from a series of sketches that I have kept over the years. I would like some honest feedback, how to make them better, etc. Thanks in advance,
BE ~ the 'history' only covers the last five contributions by Imnotirish, of those two aren't his compositions and one is a 'no comment', in other words, Imnotirish hasn't yet taken credit for it. So, lazy? ~ at least I made a 'constructive' suggestion, rather than judging another out of ignorance...
I was really only asking people to play through the tunes and give me some feedback about how to improve them. I have no interest in recording them all.
Arbo, "Moth in the Lantern" is a good tune. I wouldn't worry about "improving" it--just let variations come out in your playing.
I also like "The Fifth Year." I'd put the key/mode at D Dorian--no sharps or flats in the key signature, so the Fs and Bs are natural. And the Cs of course vary--you've used some tasty accidentals. The second ending for the B part doesn't work for me as well as the first ending, but that's just my stupid personal opinion.
Check your post... I'm looking forward to seeing what you've done 'collectively'...
You've lucked out that ol' mouser came by and was in a constructive mood, no spraying or hissing and not a deck of cards in sight... His 'opinion' does count for something in my book...

Re: Original Tunes
You might consider adding these compositions, their names and their links, to your details...

If you click on my user name and go to the history tab you should be able to access the links. Thanks for giving it a go.

Chesire,
Thanks for the feedback. The ending on the 5th year is a work in progress. I'll play around with it...

Re: Original Tunes
Imnotirish ~ I'm hoping you have say at least half a dozen, so I can also look at them collectively... Dates would be good too...
Do I ask too much?

Re: Original Tunes
Ceolachan,
yes. I am working on transcribing one more. When that's posted I should have a half dozen. The Moth and The 5th year are older tunes.
