Mental Suicide

Here's an instrumental I wrote for no particular reason other than a challenge to write a guitar song completely with a virtual guitar in the Sonar 8.5 piano roll. I didn't allow myself to utilize a real guitar just for the challenge. Therefore I don't actually know if the guitar parts are in proper form, but it sounded good to my ears so I filled it in with an arrangement; drums, strings, etc. Hope it comes across well.

Feel free to comment on any aspect of the piece.

Wow, nice job! Very organised arrangement and vibe :)

Thanks brickblock369, glad you enjoyed it.  :)

Great piece.. Don't get the title..   Sometimes I start with a title, but as song progresses (especially instrumental).. I conjure up images, which reflect the piece.   People will also take a chance to listen to, by the title alone.  I'd expect some heavy death metal. or LSD freak out stuff.  

But,   the piece is excellent and excellently constructed.. l GREAT

mark styles,

Thanks for the kind words. I know the title doesn't really fit the vibe but it kinda stuck with me. Maybe if I ever write lyrics for it, the title will change. I don't care to write lyrics, unless they just come to me effortlessly... which doesn't happen often. All in all it's too much of a chore coming up with rhymes. I just love writing and arranging tunes. I don't know the last time I woke up in the morning without some tune rattling around in my head. Sometimes it's stuff I'm working on, sometimes it's an annoying TV jingle I've heard, sometimes a random song that I like or even one I don't like from a pop band or recording artist.. and on very rare occasions a piece of music I've never heard before like I'm listening to a radio. The human brain is a mysterious thing don't-chya know.  :)
