I'm new at composing surf music, but an experienced listener lol. https://soundcloud.com/thiago2k5/surfin-roaches-adrift I know I still need to work on it, specially with the drums. But if you could give me some feedback, that'd be nice. Thanks! Top

One tip: try using different amounts of Reverb on the various guitar parts or even very little on some. This way the rhythm, tremolo or lead parts will stand out more..... Cheers, Jeff — http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic http://www.youtube.com/user/crazyacesrock http://www.reverbnation.com/crazyacesmusic Top

Cheers, Jeff Thanks a bunch for your feedback, Jeff! I really appreciate it. I'll keep that in mind when I record my next project and I'll make sure to post it here. Top

I miss another part in this song. Or just end it earlier. After 2 minutes I am getting bored... There are many many surf songs with only 2 minutes and that`s it! And maybe work on the lead melody. A bit catchier would be fine. For me it is not a question of reverb there or there. A lot of reverb is always good. My opinion. — Twang cheers!

A lot of reverb is always good. My opinion. Thanks for your feedback, HallmarkSweptWinger! I agree with all of your points above. Maybe I was aiming for a longer tune because of my composing patterns (I mostly compose thrash metal tunes, which last longer than 4 minutes). And the "lack of creativity" of the lead guitar is mostly because of my little experience in composing within this genre. lol. I'll keep'em coming! Thanks again. Top

I would be happy if I could play or compose it... You know, at last there is no right or wrong in composing, if it sounds good it sounds good! If you like it, it`s good! What do you think about getting some thrash metal elements into surf music? (I remember the band Mr. Bungle for example, they mixed EVERYTHING. Swing R`n Roll, Exotica, Death Metal etc... Love it!) — Twang cheers! Ralf Kilauea www.kilaueas.de https://kilaueas.bandcamp.com/album/touch-my-alien Top
