@Simira Congrats to you also on posting your first recording! Very haunting, but catchy and beautiful: I found that I kept playing your song over in my mind for awhile after I listened to it. I really enjoyed this experience: trying to get a track right requires some work (...and a few more "takes" than one would imagine...), but sharing the final product with others is rewarding. Another month; another challenge! No rest for the weary! Only this time I am not going to wait for the month to be almost over before I start recording... I am looking forward to hearing your next song. Take care.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement: it means a lot to be a member of a supportive community. Ian: Thanks also for the feedback about the tone on "sunshine", I actually worked on that for awhile until I thought it sounded decent with the right amount of "edge" to it. The guitar sound in the recording is coming straight out of the amp: I don't add anything with the DAW, I just adjust the volume levels and pan the individual tracks.

Greetings! One of my guitar related resolutions for this year was to focus a little less on exercises and drills and more on learning actual songs. Part of that was a goal I set for myself to record some songs as part of the forum's monthly challenge and post them here. Here are my first attempts at doing just that... (I hope the links work!) Blues or Rock? I couldn't decide so I thought I would record one of each: https://soundcloud.com/user-501161777
