First song I put up.  Looking to really flesh this out into a full song/songs with more specific parts and what not.  

Let me know what you think!

Drums and Rhythm Ideas in general are pretty repetitive because I haven't added any bells and whistles yet.

If interested in recording let me know!  Very little is set in stone!

Halos of Amber - Venture by Moonlight (Guitar Pro 6 good quality!)

Very atmospheric and relaxing. I really like this sort of sound and want to try to make more in the same vein.  Would love to get this done with REAL instruments!  Oh the layers!

Halos of Amber - Lay Down Your Burdens.  You Can Rest Now.  (Guitar Pro 6 good quality!)

This was created in Guitar Pro 6.

Before I started writing original stuff I wanted to see if I could lift by ear some of the most vividly remember songs I know and add my own flavour.  This process really helped me ear train and I still do it to this day when I get a song stuck in my head.  

This was easily one of my first choices.  Originally in the video game Chrono Trigger for Super Nintendo.  Original Composer is the great Yasunori Mitsuda.  This song has haunted me since childhood!

Crono Trigger - Secret of the Forest (Guitar Pro 6 Remix/Remake)

This was created in Guitar Pro 6.

Another video game tune lifted by ear and given the HoA touch.  I'm such a nerd!

One of the many great songs from the Super Nintendo Classic, F-Zero! 

Original Composers: Yumiko Kanki/Naoto Ishida

F-Zero - Port Town (Guitar Pro 6 Remix/Remake)

This was made in Guitar Pro 6.

Yet another Super Nintendo lift/remix. its only the first part of the song because it gets pretty happy later on and difficult to lift. I didn't really feel interested in the rest because I had originally notated this little ditty with the intention of making it a set intro for my band live. Anyways have a listen!

Original Composer: Hiroki Kikuta

Secret of Mana - The Legend (Guitar Pro 6 Remix/Remake)

Just a cool song idea that started from a really unusual taste to write a djenty song (I'm not a huge fan of djent as a genre but rather as a dynamic within a part of a song, per say).  I came up with the djenty part first and then that spring boarded into the intro and the key/lead heavy parts of the song.  I have to say I like this direction a lot and hope the next is in the same vein.

Halos of Amber - What Awaits Those Who Seek (Guitar Pro 6 good quality!)

Guitar Pro 6 Music made to sound ACTUALLY half decent.  Check it out!

Atmospheric metal/Atmospheric...groove?

Apart from that some video game covers just for fun.

Possibly other genres/feels in the future?

I was poking around google and found that others enjoy guitar proing like I do AND take it seriously!  I, then, decided to upload some of mine.  

I am a drummer.  I don't know how to play any other instrument AT ALL so sorry in advance if it sounds impossible/slightly incorrect.

The purpose of writing in Guitar Pro started as just being able to notate drums for my bands guitar pro files.  It grew to be an outlet for my musical ideas, each one more different from my bands sound than the last, until I realized I had written almost an hours worth of ideas and near the end they sounded like something...else.

That being said, this being a WRITING exercise for me, the drums and some of the rhythm guitar are dumb down and repetitious at points.   If I get any interest I will flesh out lots of drum fills and guitar tweedeleedoos and flare and what not!

PLEASE LEAVE ANY CRITICISMS, BE THEY CONSTRUCTIVE OR ENCOURAGING!
