Milk Guitar

Something substantial! I've been feeling really down in the dumps lately, and finally gathered the strength to start and finish a new track this afternoon! That Daylight Savings almost got me, though; thought this would still be due at 8:00pm EST!

My throat is super icky today, and it shows in the song. However, I feel like this was just a fun project to pursue using a VST I had accidentally acquired in my quest for a decent electric guitar SoundFont. It's called Milk Guitar, it's free, it's acoustic, and you can find it here! http://www.kvraudio.com/product/milk-gu … on-studios

It's only got six chords, most of which are pentatonic and all of which come Wonderwall-style (with scale degrees 5 and 8 added up top) but I was able to manage a ii7-ish and vi7 with my bass.

So here's a piece with some singy-rap stuff, nice acoustic guitar chords, and a hip-hop beat to glue everything in place! It's heavily influenced by around a million pop songs, give or take, as is the norm for this song structure. Comments and critiques welcome!
