Fred Baty - "A Fledgling Firework" (Crepusculum)

My latest song. I'm very happy with it at the moment - it's by far the simplest song I've written in a while and I'm starting to think my simple pieces are my best ones!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. For those who are interested there's a tab here: http://www.ptuca.net/index.php?page=song,2585

i am not sure you are the one playing :? sry dude but i fell u are just moving ur fingers and the song is going on !

[Fredbaty]

I wrote the song, man. As in, wrote and played all of the instruments. For this video I just cut the guitar lines I'm playing from the backing track.

It never ceases to amaze me how regularly people accuse me of this, but eh. You can go to my MySpace to hear the final version of it.

fred... tell me how you pull off so many amazing but entirly different sounding songs :o

do you need to no alot of theory or what. I cant evan work out what chords like Gmaj7 are, I only no the open stuff.

[Fredbaty]

Cheers for the comment, dude!

I couldn't tell you a single one of the chords I play in this song - I just go by positions and what sounds good, because my theory is atrocious. Just find funny tunings and then you have to work out new chords as though you were just starting out, instead of always playing the same old stuff!

[weepini]

I can listen to you for days and for months and for years.

[davinou26]

[paulapixel]

BIg Fred Baty news coming soon! Keep posted for potential tour dates!!!

[chicksand3]

i cant tell you how much your writing has influenced mine. I downloaded your tabs and checked out your tunings and now im writing so much beautiful stuff i cant keep up with it. You are teaching people with your music. I have upmost respect for you. Really hoping you put more out there. Oh and if you ever get your hands on another 8-string, Berserker by after the burial would be a treat to see.

Just came back to this. Can't believe I haven't listened to it in a while. This is not only one of my favourite songs of yours, it's one of my faves ever! Takes the edge right off of anything :)

@Fredbaty I can tell you're really playing. Someone who isn't really playing wouldn't get the strum/pick pattern right, no matter how hard they try. You really are playing the guitar, and anyone who knows anything about guitar playing would know that.

BTW, this is really pretty~
