FRIDAY NIGHT RIFFS

I was working on a couple new riffs and brought them to the jam room. LRT didn't care for the one so much, said it was too "punky" and I tend to agree....we worked on it for a while and kinda gave up on it. I still have ideas for it though and will continue to forge until it works. I'm not a punk guy, but there is plenty of common ground between it and thrash metal. However, the things LRT and I tend to write together is not exactly "thrash" at all. It's slower paced, often downtuned and weighty-er music...so I might have to adapt my one riff idea into something maybe less fast and more chunkier. I dunno yet.

On another note, I plugged in a chorus pedal and it made me want to play like I haven't played in a long while. We jammed for quite a bit the other night....well, at least until we ran out of beer....and I thought we were beginning to create something new.........and then we didn't jam again yet

But at least I feel like I'm clawing my way out of the rut.

That’s great bro.
And I agree with you on Kerry’s post , it is fine the way it is, I was just trying to convey what the piece did for me.
No need to make it happy, most of the things I play are in some form of minor, because I like the dark moody parts.
Cheers
 
My last post was in a minor key. This time it's in a major key to compare them. I was trying to write a cheerful song but the minor key sounds way better to me. What do you think, minor or major? The lead on both parts will not be the final melody. I'm just looking for feel right now.

A minor
Part A is: Am Am Bm7b5 E7
Part B: is: Dm Am Dm Am E7

A Major
Part A is: Amaj7 Amaj7 Bm7 E7
Part B: is: D A D A E7
