[Rose At Twilight]

Incredible

You sir, are an incredible composer. This is giving nobuo uematsu a run for his money I reckon. You've looped it perfectly, unlike some pieces I hear where there's an obvious gap, or it just doesn't really work as there's too much of a jump (either in key or mood). The song itself just never gets boring, this has gone on loop about 10 times, and i'm still headbanging away to it, as all Boss music should. Very good merging of classical and contemporary styles too throughout, with neither dominating too much, and very good use of percussion too.

[Rent Day Blues]

Good Job

It's not really based on the blues format, but it's good. It's more country if anything (judging by the instruments at least). It sounds at home on the soundtrack for the game 'Gun' I think.

Slart responds:

I see what you're saying about not being in the standard "blues" format, but as far as putting this in "country" I don't know... there's not a single country song from the past 20 years that sounds like this. Country as genre doesn't sound like this. At least not in a long time. Carrie Underwood? Garth Brooks? Oakridge Boys? It's closer to old school blues than any school of country in my mind. At the same time, I see what you're saying... current blues doesn't sound this way either.

Honestly, I was just taking a guess at the genre.

[The Darkness Suite]

Truly breathtaking!

I really love this piece, the title really help express the music and shows where you're coming from with this piece as well. Great job all round.
If you're doing sheet music, is there a chance i could have a copy? i would LOVE to learn this!
Thanks a lot!

I can make some, but it'll take some time.

Thanks for the review! :)

[Sweet Child O' Mine Solo Ver 2]

WHAT ON EARTH?!!?!

You have discgraced the good name of Guns N' Roses by attempting this solo. It started off well, i have to admit, although your bends were very dodgy, and then EVERYTHING after the run up where you abused your wah pedal and your guitar, it sounded disgraceful, there was not one note i didn't feel like i didn't want to tear my ears off.

Not everyone can love it.

[Hendrix Tribute]

Wow

This was a complete eargasm up until 1:03 where your timing for the end went a bit odd. I liked your use of effects after that hiccup very much. Very swish.

[Pink Floyd - Money (cover)]

OH DEAR GOD!

What have you done? Your bends are all either Sharp or flat and your timing is out BY FAR! I understand that a lot of it is improvised, but still, you could try and be a bit more fluid.
I would advise that you practice making your bends more accurate and practice your Pentatonic scales to make it easier to improvise.

Vince.
