I was fooling around one day, trying to see if I could come up with something in Locrian, and came up with a starting riff and some chords that I was happy with. Wrote it out and finished it in…Continue

Rick Waugh replied to Rick Waugh's discussion Wind, Leaves"I realized this last weekend, that I have taken a ton of photographs walking through the park where the idea first came to me for this piece. So I ended up making a video collage of all those shots, with the music in the background."
Rick Waugh replied to Jérémie Lhomme's discussion [Piano] Impromptu in F minor "We'll meet again" - Jeremie Lhomme"Well, that's just plain lovely. Very nice sense of dynamics throughout to keep the interest going."
Rick Waugh replied to Bob Forrest's discussion volume control"Learning how to make midi sound good inside a DAW is not a simple task, that's for sure. You might be able to import the files easily enough, but the next part, getting sounds, and applying your dynamics control to make it sound like you want,…"
Rick Waugh replied to Steven S. Billings's discussion Long Form Rock Composing"I love prog, always have. Yes was a huge influence on my musical life.
There is a huge amount of prog being written and performed now. A lot of it is more metal influenced than it used to be, bands like Kamelot. Then there are bands a bit more like…"

Rick Waugh replied to Dominic Amlot's discussion Guitar Quarter Tone Notation"Funny, I've seen hammer ons and pull offs, and slides notated, but not a bend. It's not terribly common in classical music, not that I've seen. It's very common to do what you're talking about while playing electric lead,…"
Rick Waugh replied to Manfred Goop's discussion is perfect pitch an advantage to a composer?"In my junior high school there was a girl who had perfect pitch. She also had a number of mental and physical problems, not enough to keep her out of school, but they made her life more than a bit difficult. She could not abide any music that was…"
Rick Waugh replied to Manfred Goop's discussion is perfect pitch an advantage to a composer?"I have a friend who when he tunes his guitar, he tunes the A string to a perfect "A", then tunes the guitar from there. He trained himself to be able to do that, but aside from that one note, simply has good relative pitch. I had not heard…"
Rick Waugh replied to Gav Brown's discussion Toy Boat"Well, that's fun. Love the playfulness of both the piece, and the score. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how a professional musician wants to see work notated, not that I get the opportunity, but my composition teacher will tell me…"
Rick Waugh replied to S Fox's discussion Huron carol variations"Lovely, liked them all. Excellent selection of styles."
Rick Waugh replied to Rick Waugh's discussion Wind, Leaves"Score. Not sure why it didn’t upload the first time."
Rick Waugh posted a discussionWind, Leaves
This was something that came to me while walking in the woods. I’ve always loved the sound of the wind in the leaves, and wanted to try something musical that would approach that sound. I also was working on legato guitar work at the time, and wanted to do something with that technique. The piece didn’t work very well for legato guitar. So I exported as midi to my DAW, and added some different sounds. Pretty happy with the result.I work only on an iPad, using Notion for notation, and Auria Pro…See More
Paul Copeland replied to Rick Waugh's discussion Introducing Rick Waugh"G'day Rick. Good for you getting right back into composition. That is definitely the way to go if you are now about to retire.
Good to have lessons also to get the brain cells tuned up again :)
Lots of stuff out there, and absolutely amazing…"

Hello, everyone. I've been a sporadic poster in this forum for a few years, not actually sure when I started. I'm 60 years old, have been playing guitar and bass since I was 13. Played in a few bands, tried to make a living for a bit, but got completely sandbagged by disco, which hit just after I graduated from high school. Wasn't hardly a place to play live rock after that.I have been slowly learning to compose and record. Really started to play a lot of guitar again about 15 years ago. 4…See More
