I can't read music either, so I know where you're coming from. Just keep in mind that Paul McCartney couldn't read music, either. Wink


Sounds good, bro. It sounds very Jazzy to me.
 
That's the plan. Going for the jazz rock feel in this tune Tongue
Hopefully the music goes with the early 70s Vigilante theme Charles Bronson/Clint Eastywood style hehe.

tsk! ... if only I'd thought of adding the other two notes to make a chord....

7/8 :| C#m7 (1)  C#sus4 | C#m7 (2)  C#sus4 |: x2
6/8 :| C#m7 (1)  C#sus4 | C#m7 (2)  C#sus 4| C#m7 (1)  C#sus4 | F#  E |:

(C#m7 (1)  played as an E (B, E, G#) with C# and G# in the left hand
C#m7 (2)  played as an E (E, G#, B) with C# and G# in the left hand
C#sus4 played as an F# (C#, F#, Bb) with C# and G# in the left hand)

then:

4/4 :| C#madd11 | Bsus4 | F#7 | A6 |: x3

4/4  | C#madd11 | Bsus4 | F#7/Bb| Gmaj7 | Gmaj7 |

C#madd11 played C#, E, F# with C# and G# in the left hand
Just a regular Bsus4 with B and F# in the left hand
F#7 played Bb, C#, E, F# with F# and C# in the left hand
Just a regular A6 and Gmaj7

Then something starting on F#m

I should get a life Cry



Your turn Tongue
 
Interesting. Have you got it on mp3 LOL

I heard this not long ago. Get some musicians and a vocalist and you have a prog hit LOL
It has heaps of potential if you're into old school prog. It has a bit of a Gentle Giant feel to it. Kind of like Mister class and quality. Fun jazzed up rock. The ideas are smart and the bass playing is quite interesting

Working on a new song now. Based around a chord sequence and melody i wrote down years ago.
It's not as intense, but more "floating" instead Tongue

4/4 :| Gm7  Am7 | Bbmaj7  Am7 |:

Sounds kinda Canterbury Tongue

The bass drum is constantly playing 8-notes, and it sounds awesome, but i can't get the last bit of the organ solo right! Wacko

That's a nice progression to learn to solo over. It sits on guitar very well. My kind of music.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Screw the organ solo! I extended the solo part to 80 bars, so now i can use it as a backing-track for my own solos Tongue

Here's an idea for a children's album I thought up:
 
SIDE ONE
 
What Kinds of Fluids Does Your Body Contain?
Lego Madness
Three Kids at the Bus Stop
Don’t Put Your Finger There
Lofty Goals at Age Five
 
SIDE TWO
 
Having a Name (Roll Call)
No More Pez for Mommy
Thunder Pants
A Thousand Times No
 
 
WHAT KINDS OF FLUIDS DOES YOUR BODY CONTAIN?
 
What kinds of fluids does your body contain?
Let’s just open up and see
If you lift up your skin, what is that therein?
Is it blood?
Why yes, that is blood
Better get a Band-Aid
 
What kinds of fluids does your body contain?
Drink that cup of coffee and we’ll see
What makes that stain, that your pants doth contain?
Is it whiz?
Why yes, that is whiz
Better get a change of clothes
 
What kinds of fluids does your body contain?
Open up your mouth and say “aaaaah”
What’s in that warm bubbly moat, just in front of your throat?
Is it spit?
Why yes, that is spit
Better not release it on the bus
 
LEGO MADNESS
 
One lego two lego three lego four
I made a truck and I’ll make five more
My truck has wheels, goes over banana peels
And then it goes back in the garage
Five lego six lego seven lego eight
I’m in an excitable state
Get your hands off my stash, don’t you throw it in the trash
I’m not done making more trucks
 
THREE KIDS AT THE BUS STOP
 
A boy is looking at me funny
A girl turns away when I arrive
A second boy just wants to beat me up
I just wish they’d all go away
Three kids at the bus stop
Are keeping me awake at night
I want to tell my mom but I just think it isn’t right
Cause she’ll tell their mom and their mom will tell them
And then they’ll kick my a/s/s on Monday
 
DON’T PUT YOUR FINGER THERE
 
My dad is sad, my mom is mad
I put my finger where it don’t belong
She told me to wash my hands
But I just don’t understand
Because somehow I just like the smell
 
LOFTY GOALS AT AGE FIVE
 
Today this block, tomorrow the world
My lemonade stand will be in the Fortune 500
By the age of eight I shall learn to fly
And I’ll never have to go to school again
If you have cancer, just call my cell
And I’ll have so much money you’ll be cured
Mommy and Daddy can go suck eggs
Because I’m so much better than them
 
HAVING A NAME (ROLL CALL)
 
(instrumental)
 
NO MORE PEZ FOR MOMMY
 
What a draaag it is getting old….
Things are different today
I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she’s not really ill
There’s a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of her mother’s pez dispenser
And it helps her on her way, (**SONG ENDED DUE TO LAWSUIT**)
 
THUNDER PANTS
 
Boom, Boom
Fillin’ up the room with my Thunder Pants
Scritch Scratch
Got a stain to match in my Thunder Pants
My friends all think it’s cool
But I’m staying after school
Cause the teacher wants to take a different stance
On my Thunder Pants
 
A THOUSAND TIMES NO
 
I want some candy, I want some juice
Don’t want to get in trouble so I’ll make up some excuse
The lamp broke itself, the cat always had three legs
I can’t get into trouble or I won’t get my juice
Ice Cream is mine for the having
Or so I wish the story went
I asked a thousand times, but each time she said no
Mommy is a fascist, and that’s a fact.
My other avatar is a Porsche

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased.

I'm going to ask my dad to play the organ on it and make it crazy. He's been playing Hammond organ for 40 years. He's mainly into jazz and fusion

Well, I only write the lyrics for my band, not the music, but right now we're working on a 25 minute epic called Faustaus 2031, based on the Christopher Marlowe play about a man who sells his soul to the devil for power and respect, only we changed a bunch of stuff around but kept the main theme,  i would give you the full lyrics only it would take too long for everyone to read, so instead I'll just give you a little taste

The strange dream remains in my eyes
Could the demon have heard my empty cries
Was my mind just playing tricks on me?
Or could my soul no longer be free?

Hey that's pretty rad. A good example of a prog song. It sounds more like a song than an instrumental. I like how you used the guitar, not overdone. Just chipping in with a combined riff with the organ. A bit of clav and flute too. It's mainly a jazz based form of rock in a way van der graaf, wakeman, gentle giant(someone mentioned) can be. But it's still unique. There's even a classical feel in the middle with the violin, piano, mellotron. Do you have any lyrics?
