Hello people! I'm Failure 2 Thrive, this forum's newest member (or at least at the time of writing this), and I look forward to showing you all my music! :-)

To start off my entrence I'll show you some of my music (I have LOTS of Files XD). I'll explain these songs, one by one.

Mi Sweet lady: This is a composition for Alto Sax (one of the instruments I play in band, the other is Bari. Sax) and piano, and one of my few "serious" compositions. It's styled in classical Russian.

Digital Flux: This is the theme song to a Digimon Fan series I was writing during the summer.

Mad Dash and Mad Dash Nitro!: Ah, one of my earliest Compositions. Mad Dash (rock) started out as a piano tune for a racing game I had in mind (It's name was also Mad Dash), and I remixed it dozens of time (with this one being my favorite). Mad Dash Nitro is it's sequel.

Please enjoy and feel free to Comment.

Mi Sweet Lady: not bad at all! However, note that the E may be a bit high to control (but since you play Alto Sax, I'll let you decide on that). To note one thing: I would have preferred a Dmin chord at 15 (Piano part) rather than the Dsus chord, but that's just my opinion. Good job, though.

I'm not much of a Guitar person (to be honest, Guitars can make one of the worst sounds to my ears... so I kind of avoid them), so I can't really comment on the others. xD

Welcome to Ichigo's!

Aw, thanks! :-) Yeah, to be honest I don't really use guitars either; Only if I absolutly have to (like in Digital Flux).

Ok, I've modified Mi Sweet Lady. The Dsus in measure 15 is now a Dmin. Oh yeah! I also transposed it for clarinet, because I do enjoy the sound it makes (Although I am terrible with it [that's why i'm a saxophonist]). I also have this song in other insturments if anyone is interested.

Good job... One suggestion: in that measure in which the clarinet starts, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start that eighth note motif (piano) that starts at the 2nd measure of clarinet.
