I am a NYC composer guitarist and conductor.
I've been at it for 50 years so I won't bore you with my experiences.
Instead I'd like to share a composition for three acoustic guitars and bass.
I shoot and produce my own videos music. I hope this inspires.
Thanks for watching and listening.

Here's one of mine I wrote thinking of my friend Jose. I built it out of an exercise for major and minor chords.

At the moment you have a C#m and no apparent tune. That's the problem. C#m isn't a strong beginning sound. Do you hear that? It makes it sound as though the tune starts at the F#m. That's the first definite sound the ear hears... but it doesn't start there. That's the thing.
Play the tune without the chord fills. Can you record that? Just the tune. You play it, I'll write it!

Hi, I've spent most of my guitar time (on and off for year long stretches) making up things, and only now started to study and learn a bit - I went for jazz (that's why I'm here now). Here's a tune I did on chemo two years ago, so maybe chemo isn't so bad It's not jazz but maybe there's something jazz like in it? Dunno
here's another, way older one

cool vocals, certainly has something, It needs arranging ( nothing bad) everything does
i thought i heard bass coming in at one point, it reminds me of early 70s Shaun Phillips. Tim Buckley,
early Elvis Costello, talking vocal delivery obviously not poppy
I would tighten it up, put a pinch more groove in sorry cant find words, @ mo, it's very floaty (good) maybe
at end of phrases and beginning, dont play too much .
Very good, also no drums & bass as such is nice, 99% music today is looped crap.
Keep going Papa, i think it is actually quite commercial ( thats not a bad thing, essentially means its marketable)
Dont take my references to heart, it just made me think of those kind of people. I listened to it 4 times.

Great review that last one!

Wow, lots of folks writing stuff! Very cool. I forgot that one of mine is out on the interwebs via my former quintet. This is a "warts and all" studio recording- live, no corrections or overdubs. On the site, click on "OT Blues" which is the original I composed for the band.
(Played on my Cushman archtop, made by forum member Matt Cushman with Kent Armstrong floating PAF, AI Clarus head, either a Redstone RS 8" or a RE 12"- from the tone as I hear it, probably the former.)

I'm sure it's not a plot. Can't you just post it again?

Here's a fusion tune I wrote last year to showcase one of my friends on the vibraphone. The head is full of double strokes, which he has gotten really good at lately.
Guitar solo included, of course
