Thanks for good words. I'm happy that it inspired you!

>6ElementsOfBattle

Thanks! I thought it would fit as an intro for one of my previous songs but I suddenly realized that the key doesn't go with them.

Thanks! My guitars (an Ibanez and a Fender Japan) are plugged into my PowerBook via Ediroll UX-3FX. No effects in between. All the drums are loops from Drums on Demand.

Thanks ponkey and EdwinGlady! Yes I played every guitar part, not at a single take though. Vocals...yes I agree with you but my voice is not "metalistic" unfortunately. Can someone write and sing this song?

zefif, Drumsarehot and PeteKistler,

Thanks for reminding me of my enthusiasm about music!
Planet Metal (remixed) by aktm 7 years ago
Thanks for your high ratings and encouraging comments! Maybe I would make another song out of this intro. I used it as an intro because it was the first lick that I've ever thought of and I wanted it to be somewhere in my first compositon.

>Do you output though the Edirol UA-3FX using USB?

Thanks for listening!
No, I send the sound through the headphone jack of my PowerBook to my audio component.

>Your cap, right?

No, it's a stuffed chick. Have you seen or heard of a Japanese movie Spirited Away?
But actually, putting it on as a cap is a wonderful idea!

Thanks everyone, for posting good words and pushing the song still higher in the ranking!

>how did you hook up your amp to your computer?

Guitar---(shield cable)---Edirol UA-3FX---(USB cable)---PowerBook G4

This is how I connect my Ibanez to Mac. All the sounds are created with the amp simulator and other effects built in GarageBand.

Good luck!

Thanks for enjoying and supporting my song! I can't believe this, really. I thought now I need an original photo for it and came up with a picture that represents myself the best. No, it's not his belly that I mean smiley

Also thanks to powermac99 for immediately solving a problem in editing a thumbnail!

Great playing! I liked the lead tone with cool picking harmonics.

Looking forward to the complete version!

If you need cool (and a little bit dark) breeze in your spiritual life, please try this!

Oh thank you CygnusX1, for enjoyng my melody and giving it a place in your iPod! It's really one of the greatest pleasure in writing and sharing a song. I don't know when a new melody comes to my mind but I'm sure I'm going to post one when it's ready!

This song was in the "Rock/Pops" category before, but I thought it better to move it here (is it a new category? ). Enjoy!!

Thanks for good words, guys!

This is the first songwriting and recording ever in my life, and it's about all that I can come up with using the guitar. Having been in no band at all, I've never imagined I could turn my musical idea into a real sound all by myself.

Thank you GarageBand!
