I have gotten as far as writing two reviews on GarageBand.com. I need to write a total of 15 in order to upload one of my own tracks, or pay a fee. Well, I've been finding that writing these reviews just doesn't come that easy to me, so I purchased an upload credit.
I have tried to upload my first track, which is a song titled Yesterday Seems So Far Away. I wasn't sure to which genre I should submit it, and narrowed it down to two choices - Progressive Rock or Acoustic.
The structure of the song is, in my opinion, progressive. It changes time signatures several times, and follows what is in my opinion a progressive storytelling verse structure rather than a more pop-oriented Verse 1, Verse 2, Chorus etc structure. However, it is an acoustic performance, featuring only guitar and bass as instruments.
In the end I decided to put it under Progressive Rock rather than Acoustic. Many of the songs I checked out under Progressive Rock had a harder rock sound than my song. Despite this, I am going to assume that listeners of the Progressive Rock genre will accept a song with an acoustic performance. I believe (possibly incorrectly - I hope time will tell) that listeners of the Acoustic genre will not be as tolerant of this song structure.
