I'm not sure if this is post-worthy, but I've been recently been recording some of the stuff I do on guitar and post it on YouTube. I was just hoping I can get a bit more publicity if you know what I mean.

Comments and constructive criticism welcome. (:
Thanks in advance.
Also, a second thanks for the 1-star trolling.
EDIT: Everything above is shit. I've kind of been understanding these replies now, and I kinda realized I suck. :S
I am going to delete my videos and start all over. It all started out as a "just-for-friends" channel but I think it'd be better to go public, with videos. Just don't troll my videos next time. (Maybe I'll get some agrees instead of boxes.)
Looks good, I'm not digging the guitar though.
Is it a fender?
"Dwelling in Abstract" was the only one I had a chance to listen to, pretty awful. Drums are too canned and it sounds like you stuck a microphone next to the drum machine speakers to record it.
And that super distorted guitar just comes tearing in way out of time and far too loud compared to the rest of the ensemble. It seems like to me you're hiding your lack of skills behind a wall of distortion.
Pretty damn awful. I mean seriously, you're not even playing in key with the beat!
yeah I'm sorry but it's just really bad in all aspects
"Dwelling in Abstract" has no pattern, no rhythm, no nothing. It's not abstract if you just play random notes.
"Hand Cramp Inducer" is a simple pattern played a few times, that honestly shouldn't be giving you cramps of any kind.
Take lessons, improve, and try again.
I watched the "Cramp Inducer", and it's a lot better, but you shouldn't use so much distortions and effects.
A simple distortion and a chorus/compressor is plenty.
Also, do not name a song emphasizing how hard it is. Makes you look pretentious.

Agreed, it's like you're just being totally random.

Yeah, its a really old one. :|

Yeah, ironically enough, I actually did do that. I have a really old mixer that records 4 tracks, and when it records them the quality gets butchered. Nonetheless, I can't get the music ripped off from it and on to my computer, so I recorded it with a video camera (fail) just to get the music. That's why it sounds so distorted and shitty. Also, the guitar is NOT finished whatsoever. I just kind of played over from what I could think of.
Also, look at my other videos. I'm actually pretty good, but not that good. I'm self-taught.

1. Again, I don't take lessons.
2. The song isn't even finished yet. Read the description <b>thoroughly.</b>
3. I know, it was just a stupid name I thought I'd give it.
Nonetheless, do you even play guitar yourself?

I'd have to say thanks here.
It doesn't really give you a cramp, it just kind of makes your hand feel a bit funny.

Work on your guitar playing.

Nonetheless, I do and have been for the past 5 years.
Lessons are a great way to understand more playing and build yourself original progressions that you can solo over easily. Find a good guitar teacher and learn some basic music theory.
And it doesn't even matter if I play guitar or not, I'm still giving you my honest opinion that it feels cluttered and disorganized.
If I were you, as much as I'd hate it, I'd be taking these comments as genuine advice.
A bit too much gain on the first video.
And before you start questioning about whether or not I play guitar, here's my page:

I'm not that great either but I usually learn and cover songs to help me play with different techniques
dwelling in abstract sounds like loads of different riffs put in a blender.
aka it sounds [B]BAD[/B]
oh shit my ears

Excuses.
Please stop uploading videos for now.
Practise, it makes perfect. Sorry to be so blunt, but it's pretty bad.
Damn, thats awful.
Practice before you upload videos, that way you don't get a reputation as a horrible guitarist.
I've thought about it now, and I understand your replies. I'm going to start new. Thanks for the advice guys. Refer to my edited OP post.
And no, I am not joking. :saddowns:
