Steemit Open Mic Week 43 - After The Storm (Original)
So, this is how my creative process works, i create a riff with either guitar or bass, and star improvising over it, then i add other instruments to build a song...
What you see here is basically that process, the clean guitar part was created on the flow when i was recording... I then played a bit with some melodies to lay over and started to improvise. Of course this is not a finished song, but it is the basis to build one, which i will.
I even came up with the tittle "After The Storm", though i probably change it to Spanish "Despues de la tormenta"... As all my tunes are instrumentals i guess the language of the tittle does not matter, does it?, what do you think?
Enjoy!

Hi @dreamrafa really nice melody just sad it is already finished. One thing you may need to do next time you made a video that shows the process or composing song is to start the video with just the rhythm guitar or the bass if you had started it with it. then add the next instrument and the drums part and on the top the melody. I am a guitarist too but many guys here may want to understand better how you come to this in the end. It may be nice also to make a video explaining to those who start playing the relation between the bass, rhythm and the melody in term of the scale you use and why that scale. many new players have only their pentatonic scale in mind, sometimes in position 1 only and a few chords it is good to show them how the all thing works. Thank you, i really love to see more musician on Steemit and now Following you. Keep on rockin' in the free world of Steemit.
Yeah, i might make a tutorial at some point... Thanks for your comment! cheers! :D

What do I think? I think it was a really cool start to an excellent song!

Joe Satriani said the same thing when I asked him how he came up with the title to his instrumental hit, Surfing With The Aliens.
