Schism. I recorded it and posted it up without playing it back, so if it's pants i only have myself to blame.
Enjoy.
You done singing? Tired of us telling you to speak up?

Spend more time practicing the tunes you write, at several points I felt unconvinced that you knew what you were going to play next. There's ideas in there that can be worked on, but you need to bring them out and control them, not ad-lib them all together. Composition is something to be worked on as much as technique. Keep it going!

Originally posted by StarrmanI'd have to admit that during large parts of that tune i was also unconvinced that i knew what to play next...it was mostly off the cuff, and in my day (about 10 years ago or so) i could throw a jam together quite convincingly. I'm not so good at it now, and if i played it back before i posted it maybe i would've warned about the standard.

It's still a great improvement from this......
....which was me doing the same thing on the 5th January 2010. I can take that as a good thing me thinks (i was trying to do "oh well" at the start and lost the plot quickly).
I will work on my preperation for the next one, and maybe map it out on paper a bit.
