**** you, John.

For putting your tunes out there, check out bandcamp.com or soundcloud.com.

*Reps Alertle*

So far I'm loving bandcamp! I liked LastFM the best, out of MySpace, Soundclick, and it, but bandcamp is already better than lastFM in 3 basic ways.

Sivart, I would recommend ALL of them. They all have advantages and disadvantages, but they're all free. Why not cover as much territory as possible?

Magus, don't be too hard on Sivart. He's probably too young to have played any of those, anyways. ;3~

Well, maybe!

But I know he loves FFXIII and that's got several fine tunes suitable for GEETAR.

And he can look up any specific tracks for the others on YouTubez.

Sivart, just IM me sometime and lemme know, meng~

And if no one's offered drawing ya album art (i recommend Nix, Den, Gloom or Sejon :VVV) I'd be eager to try sketching somethin' out.

Alright, Magus was a big help last night, pointin' stuff out for me to play.

So far, I'm pretty determined to add these to the tracklist:
Frontier Village Dali - Final Fantasy IX
Prelude - Final Fantasy VII
Main Theme - Metal Gear Solid
Title Screen - Legend of Zelda
Poem For Everyone's Souls - Persona 3 and 4
Fisherman's Horizon - Final Fantasy VIII

I can't decide on anything else, yet.

Whaddya guys think about those?

I think you should pick something different for FFVIII, MGS and Zelda. Maybe you could do The Best is Yet To Come.

[Sivart the Sloth Trencher]

Re: My first, unfinished, and untitled album (Deciding songs and looking for an artis

My only issue with MGS and Zelda is the lack of good fingerstyle tabs. In fact, the Main Theme's the only one I could find for Metal Gear Solid. 0 Tabs for Snake Eater, 1 sub-par tab for Sons of Liberty... My choices are really limited. I'm considering other FFVIII songs right now, too.

John Mora's an expert. Listen to John Mora~

Maybe you shouldn't rely on tabs. Maybe you should work to a skill level to where you can pick these things up by ear. Before you ask people to pay money to hear you play guitar tabs.

Re: My first, unfinished, and untitled album (Deciding songs and looking for an artis

Oh, I can play things by ear, and I can create my own tabs for things. It's for the sake of convenience that I look for tabs.

When it comes to skill, I hope you realize these songs aren't exactly cakewalks to play. It takes a completely different kind of skill to play these.

Chrono Cross has numerous great acoustic guitar melodies, also most of the songs have accurate tabs for them.

Somewhat related, if you don't know about this guy already, he has some fantastic covers of mostly RPG music. He's actually been doing Chrono Cross music for awhile.

Yeah, for the record, most of the songs I'm playing are lonlonjp arrangements.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU

So after spending like an hour posting a reply my Firefox crashed. ...Right, well, back to business.

Ok, here's the deal. I can't decide what to replace Fisherman's Horizon with and I want some opinions. The Castle or Eyes on Me? Or maybe both? Feedback is appreciated.

Next on my agenda: Should I add an anime song into the mix? Namely, A Cruel Angel's Thesis?

Finally, here's my setlist that I spent the last long while coming up with. Hopefully I can remember all the songs I had.

Track 1. Prelude, from Final Fantasy
Track 2. Lost Paintings, from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Track 3. Interrupted by Fireworks, from Final Fantasy VII
Track 4. Main Theme, from Metal Gear Solid
Track 5. The Castle, from Final Fantasy VIII
Track 6. Title Theme, from The Legend of Zelda
Track 7. Frontier Village Dali, from Final Fantasy IX
Track 8. Poem for Everyone's Souls, from Persona 3+4
Track 9. Silence Before the Storm, from Final Fantasy X
Track 10. Ocarina Melodies, from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Track 11. Dearly Beloved, from Kingdom Hearts
Track 12. Dr. Wily's Stage 1, from Mega Man 2
Track 13. Terra, from Final Fantasy IX
Track 14. To Zanarkand, from Final Fantasy X
Track 15. Main Theme, from Final Fantasy VII

I still think it's relying a lot on a lot of tunes that people are already perfectly familiar with and if I counted right, there's about 7 different franchises represented on an album with 15 tracks, with 8 of those tracks being from Final Fantasy.

It just seems like more variety would do you some good. But it's your project!

THANKS MAGUS

Re: My first, unfinished, and untitled album (Deciding songs and looking for an artis

Hey, there's a reason why I said I'd be leaning towards Final Fantasy tunes in the first post. I fully intended to pick a good number of Final Fantasy songs because I'm the most familiar with them and really enjoy the songs.
