Something I wrote myself

[PsR]

It isn't classical, think its jazz, as its quite upbeat and has an improvisation feel to it (although it does use a lot of 7th chords, which is common in blues ?)

anyway its the first time i've written anything in this style, and was wondering what you think of it.

Its the second half the song, eg, the instrumental improvisation half just after the first time round with the singer singing. Theres a little trumpet solo in there aswell to add variation

comments appreciated

sheesh its like a mixture of everything


 i actually hear more country in there than anything else...

i gotta leave classification of this to the experts, but i definately isn't blues, i think.

Cool, i like it.  Yeah not blues, it is hard to classify and i'm by no means an expert but it sounded like a late jazz "melody" over an almost pop chord progression.  Sounded like you used the diminshed scale a lot, did you mean for it to sound that experimental?  Cool though, only one critisism, i assume you used a drum machine for the drumming, i would get a real drummer and stick in a swing rhythm, that drumming was kind of jarring.  I say this as a drummer as well as a pianist.  How many people on this forum write stuff as well? i'd be interesting to know that.  I do, i would stick something up but i have no recordings.

thanks
i wrote it all on my laptop, which im quite proud of as i didn't even touch my piano (as its about 200 miles away from where i am at the moment!)

I dont think its blues or country.  Quite an interesting style, and a unique contrast between augmented 4th key (diminished 5th key),  and its kinda weird.  Not bad for first composition.
