Cool! I see the two independent lines going, and the back and forth between the two hands. And you can throw some Liszt chromaticism into your Bach Rock counterpoint. I don't mind!
I live in that Neoclassical genre sometimes, and then I'll add some Billy Joel/Joplin rag to the Bach-Rock, and it's great fun on the piano. And on the Stick!
Thanks for rocking it out and sharing. Now you need to put that all into a tune!
Someone noticed! I love Bach, but Paganini, Beethoven and Liszt are up there too! Started when I was a kid, I love that stuff! My music isn't perfect, but it's a lot closer to being music. And, it's getting closer to being the kind of music I want to play. I have this RIDICULOUS fuzz tone that I am absolutely in love with, man is it nasty... (more on that later)
As far as "rocking out and sharing" goes, I can do both no sweat, but "creating" a full on tune is something I'm putting a lot less of an emphasis on this year. When I play for me, warmups and just jamming it's probably short, easily digestible chunks of music. Primitive, but really the best that I can possibly eke out at the moment. It still feels like a bit of a scramble when I'm making this stuff up...

I just wish I could adopt your practice discipline
Well, I ain't got no talent so I need to severely overcompensate by putting in time. I've really, really managed to condense my practice time down though, no need for 16 hour days anymore! But when I DO get to do a 16 hour day I've got a sort of system going to keep myself learning.

I really enjoyed the mad creativity there, cuz. I don't want to draw obvious comparisons to obvious influences, so I won't. I just enjoyed that sucker.
Noice.
Thanks for checking it out, it's a starting point that I'm hoping I can look back on in a year or two from now and be like "yeah... that was a starting point!" lol

Wow ! You knew i’de love this one didn’t you? Here’s a crazy thought: how about using that finger pattern that repeats to infinity and rebuild the tonality on the right hand while leaving the left in the same scale? Just thinking...
I like it when you think crazy thoughts, my man! It's a good idea I will try to incorporate! Thanks for checking it out!
OK, back to practice!
