    Thanks, man... Shocked is understatement, to be honest. Disbelief, more like. Cuz I didn’t even realise the riff was trending until, outta curiosity, ah decided to have a look at the Metal playlist of SoundCloud’s Hot & New trending tracks. And there’s me top o’ the list ! Behind a metal cover...

    Awesome, but as ah said before: a wee bit mental... or that might just be me still in shock ? Cuz me trending on SoundCloud totally caught me off feckin’ guard, man ! Fuck knows ! :ROFLMAO: Y’know, cuz ah just thought: “Oh, I’ve made it onto yin o’ their playlists... Great !” Totally flipped...

    How are you feeling?

    Absolutely knackered. Still tired whenever I get up in the morning, and I’m back in my old routine of getting up early. Though, I’m getting to sleep at, like, 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning. So, it either insomnia or the creative side of my mind becomes more focused and active at night ? :unsure...

    Quite confident in my music abilities now, at least more confident than ah wus a year ago.

    Graeme's Wee Mad Mental Music Thread

    So, my oldest sister has reposted this track on her SoundCloud account. She laughed in my face today, because last night ah emailed her asking if she thought me going back to guitar lessons would be worth while. "Eh, did ye listen to that riff ?! Ah'd say that's beyond the skill level of...

    Fear of being judged for having unusual tastes in music.

    I’m much the same... don’t listen to the radio much, except when my sister offers to get me outta the house and we go for drive somewhere, the radio’s usually on unless she’s listening to a CD. Though, it’s almost always tuned to the local radio station, which mostly plays songs from the 80s and...

    Graeme's Wee Mad Mental Music Thread

    Came up with the first few opening seconds of this thrash-metal inspired riff yesterday after restringing and putting new tuners on my Les Paul guitar. Was messing about with today, and decided to record it, cuz ah thought it sounded somewhat decent.

    How are you feeling?

    Need to get stuff done, but cannae be arsed, cuz I’ve got a lot to do. :( So, to take ma mind off that, ah restrung and changed the tuning pegs on my electric guitar, then decided to play for a wee while. Eventually ended up writing a guitar riff that ah actually liked enough, so decided to...

    Post what you cannot say

    So, we’ll supposedly “do nothing for ye”, right? And yet, you could’nae be bothered taking your daughter’s bike to the local garage to get the stabilisers off ? :unsure: They’re literally right next f__kin’ door to us ! Just go oot the back door, walk a few yards n’ yer there. And ya say am...

    How are you feeling?

    Cheers for that suggestion about the metronome, Pug. ;)(y) Slightly less hesitant about learning the drums now, just a wee bit. Am actually mair worried that my oldest sister is going to start encouraging my nieces to play once I get the electronic kit set up, as I said before. Mind you, ah...

    How are you feeling?

    Yeah, I’ve found that as well... I also came to find that stuff that I was never taught while getting those initial 2 years of guitar lessons isn’t nearly as difficult as it was made out to be. Ha ! :LOL: I get what yer saying about the lessons. I found that with my guitar lessons, like...

    How are you feeling?

    Ye think so, eh...? Am no sure... as ah huv’nae played an electronic drum kit since I was 13, 14. As I wanted to learn the drums, originally, but switched to guitar after finding the drums a wee bit too difficult to teach myself how to play at the time. And ah wus’nae that good, to be honest...

    How are you feeling?

    So, I’m going to be getting an electronic drum kit and learning the drums. Not my choice, like. Ma oldest sister coerced intae it. :mad: No exactly chuffed tae bits at the prospect o’ learning another feckin’ musicial instrument, but ah might as well. Ah mean, I’m the yin who gets told often...

    How are you feeling?

    Oh, dinnae git me started... :rolleyes: Both o’ them - it’s not just the oldest - already come to me whenever they feel like it. They’ll just announce that they’re going to see me, regardless of being told otherwise. And the oldest, nearly every time without fail, marches upstairs to me to give...

    How are you feeling?

    Ah don’t know if this is a compliment or no, but... Like, my oldest niece runs upstairs to my room, pencil n’ a piece o’ caird (sorry, card) in her hand. And she goes: “Graeme, can you draw me another butterfly? Then I’ll know how to draw butterflies” :DAnd this wus like 10 minutes before she...

    Thanks lily. Glad ya like ‘em. ;)(y) Just trying to keep my sound as varied as possible so I don’t get bored writing instrumental music. Eclectic, I guess ye could say... Haven’t quite decided how to expanded upon most of those ideas, though. But I’ll probably have better idea once I get my...
