So about a month ago I finally decided to put some of my unfinished music online just to know what do people think about it. https://soundcloud.com/venysonn So I am asking you right now to tell me what do you think.Do you like it? Do you hate it? why do you hate it? what can I do to make it better? What would you do if you were me? Say whatever you think I need to know about my music.Follow if you like it so I can keep you updated about new songs or you can like this https://www.facebook.com/venysonn72 if you dont have a soundcloud account. Thanks a lot to all of you :)

Sorry, I'm not going to create accounts just to check it out.
Can't you find some open service that doesn't require sign-up?

Went to the Soundcloud link. I like your stuff. Honestly, IMHO, and the reflections of my own personal taste, you put too many different sounds into them.

Don't get me wrong, I like it. It's just that i think you could have stuck to one thought.

Keep it up, you're doing very well.

Very nice. Well done.
It's not a musical style that I would care to listen to often, nor would I purchase an album of this genre, but that doesn't mean I can't recognize the talent behind it.

Recording and all that is still pretty new to me and I still did not find a tone that I want to use all the time so I try out different stuff till I find it.All of those songs need to get recorded better and I need to add more stuff because some of the songs now sound really empty.Thanks for checking it out :)

Hi there.

Okay I listen to all 4 you have up, I really think you have something, and I like it.

BUT, If I may offer some constructive criticism.....

I find that all four sound very much the same, sorta like a Nickleback CD, it hard to tell the difference from song to song.
I hear the same chords, not that there a bad choice, the sound fine, it;s just bit repetitive.

If I may suggest a couple what I feel are transition chords...

Em9
{0 2 2 0 3 2}
This comes easier out of a D chord, and can be easily switched to a Em7 by taking the pinky and fretting the high E string on the third fret or a Em11 by moving the pinky to the fifth fret.

I think this could add some depth to they acoustic part.

Just a thought, but I think you do have something here, keep it coming.

I don't know if it's an issue with file format or what but I can't listen to the files because they have a rapid staccato like off-on thing going on with the volume.

I like the vibe you created with these songs, sort of like movie soundtrack pieces. Enjoy the little solo riff about a minute into "Eylee" -- the song reminds me a little bit of Pearl Jam's "Indifference."

It does feel like these are unfinished pieces, but I'd be interested to hear how they's sound with a full arrangement. Good potential!

Well just to know what do people think about it.To see if people like the path that I am going with my music. to know should I continue to post my music and post it when its finished or should I just keep it for myself. I hope that kinda makes sense :)

I am not really thinking about the chords I am using.It just comes to me but maybe I shold start thinking about it more.Songs Eylee and Eirwyn are supposed to be one song and if you listen to them side by side you will see that they are really similar.Same key,same picking pattern,similar melodies... Thanks for the advice and thanks for giving it a listen :)

I have a brand new MacBook Pro, less than 6 months old and maxed out with as much speed, memory, SSD, etc. as money could buy at the time.

I was able to listen to these files and my laptop is an old hand me down. I occasionally have problems with soundcloud. I opened an account with soundclick and I think my files sound better and I have fewer problems playing them.
