*EDIT- My album so far-
Luminescent
Shallow
Daylight
Winter Sun
Starlight
Sooo, I play music and junk, like Ive told you guys a million times : p I actually am in a band and junk, and I also like to just make up stuff on my own too. My friend is both very talented musically, and an experienced musical engineer, as in hes actually worked as a professional studio engineer and even has his name on many albums from local artists here in my town. I, however, do not have that knowledge or ability, and put anything I record on vocaroo : p So the quality of the sound is not good at all : p But at the very least I have them recorded somewhere if I ever wanna hear them again : p
I actually rarely do it though, and generally I only really do it if I wanna share my playing with friends online. I am a bass guitarist, so most of what I do is on my bass. But I can play guitar as well. I had a guitar recording on vocaroo, but it apparently has expired and been deleted : / So I will have to get a guitar and record it again one day.
Im gonna break this into three pieces to make it smaller : p The recordings are not long, all of them are about 1-2 minutes on average, so I hope youll check them out.
But yeah! Thats my music : p I think Im pretty good : p Id like to either get a drum machine one day, or a drummer would be better : p But Id like to add some drums to my music, and maybe some keyboard and guitar stuff too. Would be way cool.
But yeah, hope you guys listen to it, and tell me what you think : 3

Okay, here are some things I have recorded. Some are better than others. I said something about how I often accidently stumble across Mogwai songs when playing : p I recorded a few that I know how to play to show them.
(these are all under a minute long, just wanted to share them : p )
I seem to have a similar playing style with their bassist : p He is a melodic bassist, which is what I try to do with mine, too. So I guess it makes sense : p
This is from their "Young Team" album, its from a song called "Yes! I am a long way from home" Its just the basic melody part I stumbled on while playing around one day, and felt excited that I had found it : p

Heres the actual song if youd like to compare them, its not the exact same thing, it was just the basic melody : p (you have to skip one minute in to hear the song though)
This one is also from the Young Team album, its called "Summer", I actually saw someone play this one before hand and learned it from that : p But I really like the bassline so I dont mind : p This one is a little harder, usually when strumming chords Ill use my finger nails, with the fingers on a downstroke and with my thumbnail on an upstroke. But Im learning how to also use the little joint parts of the fingers right below the finger nails where your fingers curl for strumming too, in order to get a lower strumming sound.

Heres the actual song-
And last one for the Mogwai songs : p This one is from their "Rave Tapes" album. Its called "The Lord Is Out Of Control" Its a favorite of mine, its way calm and flowing and I love listening to it while walking-

Okay, now stuff that I did myself : p I actually came up with one today that I recorded : p I really liked what I came up with and decided to share it. Its a bit difficult to play, but Im happy with how it came out I think. Ive decided to call it "Starlight", dunno why just liked the word : p
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1mdnWOgARXy
Im actually really happy with this one : p
I recorded another right after that, I had a really hard time with it though : / I wrote it last week. I came up with it like right after hearing a really coo, early 90s Three Mile Pilot recording (written by Zach Smith) fr the first time, I literally picked up my bass and wrote this directly after hearing it : p I was really excited by it and proud too. But I had a really hard time recording it today :' ( It didnt come out real well, sadly. I had a few mistakes here and there, but overall Im really excited about the song. Its supposed to have that edgy 90s sound to it : p With some drums, I think it would be really cool : p
Im calling it "Shallow"
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0qCJX59vH8r
And last one for things I recorded today, I decided to try a free jam, haha : p So its really just two minutes of me doing whatever came to mind : p Came up with a few neat quick melodies though, so decided to share it : p

Heres some stuff I wrote sometime in the past : p This one is really calm and pretty, totally forgot I wrote it too : p Its way cool, wanna remember how I played it : p
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0YvYkYPoQbZ
This next one is my favorite that I have done : p Im really proud of it, feel like its both a full and complete song, and Im really happy with the melody and changes and progressions and everything : 3 Its really good, imo. Think I called it "Together with friends" or something cheesy like that : p
