"Striving On" is a work in progress by my friend (bass) and me (guitar). The drum track is more of a gimmick, at least for now. Difficulty = easy/beginner. Version = 0.2 alpha ;) Comments, improvements and spin-offs are always welcome!
Tabs from watching Mike Dowling playing on youtube.
Enjoy! Main idea of song - one should watch what dumb asses do and learn from them so that one can become stronger and wiser. THE REST IS INFORMATION ABOUT ME AND MY PART IN THE SONG, DON'T READ IF YOU AREN'T INTERESTED IN IT!!! IT IS LONG!!! This is the last song I'm posting up, but a little more detail about the song first: I play these instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass, Vocals (which are represented by the harmonicas), and that is about it. My vocal range is F3-C6, so in this song, I'm really pushing my vocals in this song (F#3-B5) and can barely do it. This song was created to actually help strengthen the tone and accuracy on both ends of my vocal range. I don't play the violin, viola, cello, and contrabass, but they are next on my list (obviously y'all could tell I didn't play them from my last song I wrote). Other than that, I also play mandolin (which isn't an instrument listed in the TuxGuitar program), banjo, and harmonica. Thank you for reading this far! - Jeremy T. Akins
I know, I know, this is the second time I've done posted this song up, but this is the arrangement that is supposed to be vocal friendly. The first arrangement was supposed to be classical and orchestral. More about the song, it is going to be about my life, focusing on some of the hardest moments and how I made it to where I am. It is not supposed to be a sad song, but a song of inspiration. Once again, I'm not very good at writing drums, so if someone wouldn't mind writing drums for this arrangement, I would greatly appreciate it. I would love to hear a little criticism from anybody who takes the time to listen. Sorry this is so long; from now on, I will limit myself to about 100 words. I promise.
