Scratch

Man, been trying to upload the demo for over an hour now, but it just keeps failing. I assume it's because of poor Internet connection, so I'll upload it later tonight when connection's a bit better.

@jji - Great. Also TMBG stands for They Might Be Giants, an alternative band known for their quirky songs. I thought the song had that sort of vibe.

Also, I really like the sigs. Good job on them. 

Sorry about not being able to release the demo. I finished it hours ago but it just won't do anything when I click 'Upload'. It'll be out tomorrow at the latest, but under ideal circumstances (and most likely) it'll be out later tonight.

In case anyone wants to do some work on it, here's the lyrics+chords for my song

(note: Am5 is Am on the 5th fret, etc)

C           
I lost my pick
D
In my guitar
C
I lost my pick
Em
In my guitar

Em                     Am
If we don't get it out
      Em             Am
It'll make a big racket
  Fm                   Gm3
so let's twist and shout
     Am5        Dm5
and make a packet

Am5              Gm3          Fm       Em
Don't want to break my guitar to bits
Am5              Gm3          Fm        Em
Don't want to lose any plastic picks

C                 D
I lost my pick in my guitar
C               Em
I lost my pick in my guitar

{solo}Am5 Gm3 Fm Em (repeat)

C                  D
I lost my pick in my guitar
C                   D
I lost my pick in my guitar

{free time}

N.C.                     D    A    D
All you gotta do is GET IT OUT!

Great stuff, man. I was just about to ask for the chords so I could maybe come up with some little keys part or something during the free time.

Also, I don't know what's going on, but it just won't let me upload my demo. It's really upsetting. I guess I'll try again tomorrow. Hopefully, the files aren't corrupted or anything. If problems persist, I'll try to find some other means of uploading.

Can I join? I can't play any musical instrument, except a bit of guitar, but I sing quite well.

I worked out the fingering for the chugging elec. rhythm guitar.

G: 3-0-x-x-x
C: 0-3-x-x-x
D: 2-5-x-x-x
A: 5-3-x-x-x
D: 7-5-x-x-x

I'm pretty sure that's all ok. I think the acoustic guitar can be re-recorded just as All4one played it, and then we need some drums and possibly a solo. Is it decided All4one sings it? Who's the mixer? I can mix, I have access to garageband, which is better than Audacity.

Heh, how did you manage to exclude Frozen Coco? We're the first and most successful band on Scratch.

U see, that was my main problem.. XD So I threw in the word "Presently" XD
Id say the top 3 best bands on scratch r
1. Frozen Coco
2. Autumn Affection
3.Then hopefully us ^^ (ProbeHead)

Perhaps 'presently' is not quite the right term, but I get what you mean.

yeah, I guess its more like th emost ..... ACTIVE! XD yeah, that works! 

Hehe, talking of activeness, FC has been working on a 14 track album set for release early this summer which is very soon, so for all nay-sayers who think we're dead (as we often get just cos we have our daily discussions on Google Chat now due to issues here), we're growing stronger!

Anyway All4one, good luck with your band and pulling this one off mate. I'd love to have helped you out being the ol' friends we are (what has it been; four years?), but you know why I don't want to join another band. 

@DIY - Thanks a lot, mate. Your support really means a lot to me. Good luck with your endeavours as well. 

@jji - I just signed up for a Dropbox, but it looks like I can only upload photos. Can you help me out here?

Sorry for this random interruption on your otherwise nice band thread, but why would you put an F# and a B as the bass notes on the D chords?

@backspace: you may be right, but it sounds ok.
@all4one: you should now have a drop box folder in either your home folder PR your desktop. Drag any files to that folder, and it automatically syncs whenever you have an internet connection. You can also use the web uploaded at dropbox.com after logging in.

Also, quiet please seems to be a more accomplished band than autumn.

I'm sorry, but how is it possible to play a 2 and a 7 with other stuff in the same chord?
