Is this worth finishing?

[Adam]

I've got a little ditty here that I'm writing for my band. So far it's just an into, verse, and chorus. I think it has some potential, but it's difficult for me to be objective about it.

So I beseach you fine folks to take a listen if you have time, and maybe give me your thoughts on where the song should go, or if I should finish it at all.

very cool.

[Adam]

thanks, man - so you'd show it to the guys?

[Dan Desy]

Whoa! I so dig it.
Please finish it!

Hell, yeah!!! Sounds great to me.

I will say that this is not generally my type of music, but there is a very catchy enthusiasm behind your riffing. I believe you're on to something. Go for it!

I definitely think that is really cool, and that isn't really even the style of music that would normally appeal to me. Would love to hear anything that comes of it.

[Adam]

Wow, guys - thanks for the encouraging words! I added a little more to it last night, but just in the form of another verse and chorus (played a little differently). I still need a bridge, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

I know I want to introduce a different vibe to the bridge and break things up a little, but I could either go heavy and do it in a straight-up metal vibe, or go clean and pull it more towards indie rock (at least as far as it will go, given all the chop-wristed riffing going on).

Help! I'm a bit stuck!

Realize, this is just my opinion, based on my tastes, but I'd go with the cleaner sound sound for a bridge, the song already has a pretty heavy sound, and I think it would be a nice change.

It might be ebst to introduce it to the band, because often times, when they all oput their mark on it, things change a little, and to an extent, the song forms it self.

I plan on playing for the guys tomorrow and letting them spin off of it, just to see where it goes. I'm also thinking you're right about adding a clean bridge - maybe that's where I'll stick my solo.

Incidentally, I'm really starting to love my new band. When I first joined (and for the first couple of weeks of the "trial period" that I basically instituted to see how things would progress) I was feeling like "these guys are pretty green." I'm not so worried about that anymore, because
1.) the music is really going to a place that I'm very happy with, and I've got so much room to stretch out now that I'm playing in a band with another competent guitarist, and
2.) I'm pretty green myself in the scheme of things, having played out a total of just under 250 times. I don't think it matters - you learn through doing.

Add all that to the fact that I'm truly approaching my definition of perfection with my rig for the first time ever, and Adam is a pretty happy camper. Just a few more little pedals to pick up, and I'm good to go for a long time.
