Hi all, I'm Steng from Cheshire. About three years ago I decided to have a go at learning guitar and a while later I needed an outlet for the few chords I had learnt, so I tried to write a tune using GarageBand a cheap mic and a 'leccy guitar. I eventually produced something which I was pleased with and as I slowly progressed with the guitar playing I applied what I'd learnt to the next tune and on it's rolled from there.
There's a problem sometimes for me; I really want to be a good guitar player and songwriting consumes that time when I should be trying to progress my playing, so I leave the writing to learn some guitar and then I stumble across a good riff and record it and add it to the multitude of riffs and ideas I've got in the mac....no songs though!
I'm too shy to play anything live and not that confident sharing with family and friends. On here though it's a bit easier. Getting feedback from people who've created something musical (and know the score) is what I'm after, so my stuff can get better. I've written about 12, most are too long, some need improvement, some are OK ( I think), you can be the judge of that.
Listening to the work of others on here has been a pleasure and inspiration to get my creative head on.
