Just recorded this in about 5 mins, it's like 80% improv. There's some cool melodies in there though I think, what do you guys think? Worth it working on it as a whole song (instrumental)?
Also, any suggestions on drum machines (software) or how to record bass?

RobinMitchell: Me, im geared up with over 5 gb in drums. Including full loops + individual drum samples. I have every kind of drum kit you can imagine with only the highest quality. I also have many effects to enhance the sounds (compressors, bass improve etc)...
Just what is it that you want as a drum beat??
Lol, only had to wait about 8 weeks for a reply from someone :P
Erm I'm not really sure to be honest, I made up most of this recording on the spot (although with a metronome), it's more of a bunch of ideas rather than a complete recording. If I ever record something concrete I'd let you know, though would you be interested in doing some sort of collab?

It's cos it's really hard to judge this sort of thing. There's obviously some good playing, but it's so loosely connected. Also, for most music fans who aren't guitar fans, a guitar solo is pretty boring unless it's played against something interesting. And it doesn't seem you put a lot of effort into the backing music, such as it is. That's totally understandable, but you're not going to inspire a great solo in yourself without some interesting chord progression/counter melodies to work with.
An interesting project for you might be to try and write something a bit like Satriani's Surfing with the alien. Write a piece of music, with sections (verses and choruses, if you want to think of it that way) and know when they're going to change, and what mode/scale/lick you're going to do when the change comes.

Couldn't agree more.

Oh, I agree, most of it is boring but there's some cool ideas in there and I was hoping people would tell me stuff like 'oh this acoustic bit sounds crap' or 'this lick sucks/is good'. I haven't done anything with that recording since then, but I might turn it into a proper song. As I said, most of it is made up on the spot so not gonna be the greatest quality. I literally recorded a rhythm track in 5 mins, and then a lead track on top.
