I've been working on a ballad for the past week...well...what I have done so far was all done in like 20 min.,but I've been trying to write the background music for it and everything to compliment the actual guitar parts of the song. I think I'm starting to get on the right track with it now - I am just looking for opinions on the construction of the song as I am totally new to writing my own material...this is the first thing I've actually begun to create that is ALL ME.
The song is called "Before the Rain".

P.S. It's very rough...I just used the generic recorder all windows OS's get. And that's it.
