# About me
Hello, all! My name is Kyle Garrett. I am grateful that you are even reading this!About me. I am a high school grad who has also been a musician for 15 years and would like to pursue guitar as a career. I plan on attending Musicians Institute in Hollywood, but that will not be for a while. I am also a big Sonic the Hedgehog and Metroid nerd.
I only write instrumentals for three reasons: One, I am horrible with lyrics. Two, I am not much of a singer, even though I sing in my band. And three, instrumental songs allows people to use their imagination and come up with a story or meaning to the song.
I like to think of my music as a bridge across genres. I have a big influence in Progressive music, such as Porcupine Tree and Dream Theater, but I also have many other influences. Everything from Technical Metal, like Periphery, to space rock, like Hum, to the "odd balls" such as Imogen Heap and Jaco Pastorius.
As an independent musician, I need all the help I can get. If you like what you hear, or even if you don't, please let me know! I will answer anyone who wants to talk. Also, please tell your friends, or even just post a link to this deviantART account on Facebook.
Thanks for hearing (or seeing) my ramble. I hope to hear from you!
Cheers!

How much time does it takes to create a "song" ? Like a one minute thingy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A one minute jingle is about 3-5 hours of work, after getting the initial idea.
A more songy song can take 12-40 hours spread out over a month. "Wild Ride" is a song that I made on a weekend, working about 16 hours on it. "Journeys End," after sitting on the main verse riff for a year, took about 30 hours plus the time for the vocalist to come up with lyrics and record it.

I see, so there is a lot of work !
And if you want to take a song that already exists and "remake" a part of it your way as a ringtone ?

Would you be able to make a cool ringtone with this ?

No lyrics just the melody you see.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure! Do you have a specific section you want?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm the refrain maybe ? Starts with "Mugendai na yume no ato no" and ends with "On my love". I don't know if it would make a good ringtone but I like it.
Oh and.. Often when we take a song as a ringtone it starts harshly and ends the same way, see what I mean ? (I'm tired as shit I'm not clear sorry xD) Well could you make it sound better ? So when the ringtone pops up from my phone it doesn't seem like I just began the song at this point out of nowhere ? I don't know if you understand, if you don't well don't mind it's ok (: Thank you <3

Hey there, just read your llama policy late lol.
Just wanted to say you have great musical taste and do you only play guitar? (:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem.
I also play bass, drums, piano, and attempt to sing. And other various odds and ends (from when I was a band geek.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nice, well if ya ever need a collaborator that can play drums and kinda sing as well, I'm your guy!
How long have you played? I've been playing drums for about 5 years and I started learning guitar off and on about 2 years ago. I'm also a former band geek, when I was in high school I played the sax.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I started with piano lessons about 13 years ago. Gave it up for trumpet for a few years, then bass for about 8 years. I've been seriously playing guitar for about 6 years now. I grew up with a drum set in the house (my dad is a band director and drummer, and my brother is a drummer) so I can work my way around a kit to come up with ideas or to show the drummer for my band something. I've never really been into singing, but I sing in my band along with our bassist because we can't find a good singer.
