[Nene's Holiday Guitar Song]

Nene is very skilled with the guitar! It would be nice to hear someone join in and play along with Nene or chords played along with it, but I get that's difficult seeing the way you made this. I hope this is the start of a long-lasting wonderful journey through music. Keep it up :)

Hey Grizzy! Super glad that you decided to participate in my challenge :)

I decided to look at the BandLab just to get a grasp on what it is you had to do to make this. I of course suffered from it because I don't actually play the things that are in my music (By play I mean like, physically do it. I know in band lab you don't play any instruments if you don't want to. But you still have to do it on your keyboard).

As for the song itself, it's really good. I do like the melody and the chord progression you've chosen. They compliment each other so well and it is all very sweet. The title absolutely fits the song.

I know I said you should change the violin to a solo violin, but I didn't realize you could only use a midi-sounding one. The solo violin comes off as way too strong for such a beautiful piece like this. The sample has way too strong of vibrato and it is really harsh especially since it never takes the melody. Also, I feel like a flute or other woodwind instrument would work much better since the free samples of those tend to be a lot softer. I would also recommend in the last part of the song, another instrument should take the lead. Have a little more variety in the timbre. You could give the melody to the violin or whatever you change it to. This would help separate the sections in a distinct and lovely way. The violin (despite being a polyphonic instrument) is usually the lead when playing with other polyphonic instruments. If there aren't many violins (eg orchestral style strings), it sounds a little strange to have it playing a harmony the whole time. Especially when it's as loud as it is. Of course, you can use the violin as an accompaniment, but usually, it would get a solo or have some other reason why it is in the song. I feel like the violin is sort of there just for the sake of it. Idk, I'm rambling a little so I'll wrap things up here.

It's a very good song and an amazing starting point in your music career. You have a lot of potential and I believe if you keep going you achieve great things with your music. Keep using bandlab and only move DAW once you feel that it's seriously holding you back. Using a software like that will help make you not rely on effects and stuff and teach you to let the instruments speak for themselves. Thank you for participating in this month's MTAC and I hope to see you next month :)

What an interesting take on the geo-political climate of east berlin during the year 1973

I also agree with the person below the person below my post. It is a bop.
