Hey, everypony! Bo here with an original and soothing instrumental track dedicated to best pony Fluttershy.

 

Since it's Fluttershy Day over on Equestria Daily, I thought today would be the perfect time to share this track with you all.

 

I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

 

Happy Best Pony Fluttershy Day!

I've always been a fan of piano instrumentals

Ok. 

 

It's an okay listen. 

 

However, the biggest problem with this piece is that you limited yourself to the I and the IV knowing that this piece is in the key of G major. It became very repetitive, which was a huge turn-off for me in this piece. 

 

Here are some chord suggestions

 

I-IV-vi-V

 

iii-ii-IV⁺⁹-I

 

I^M7-I^sus4-vi-IV

 

I-V-vi-IV

 

vi-V-IV-V

 

There are many more suggestions I can give you. 

 

The piano could use a drop of chorus to give it a little watery type of feel. Also, instead of using only broken 5ths and 4ths, why not play arpeggiated 9th chord and 7th chord licks with a slight slapback delay added. The delay volume shouldn't be that loud. 

 

The strings should glide from one chord to the next. There's a cut after each chord in the strings. It's a nice string sound though, but why not add a polysynth behind the acoustic strings to give it that ambient sound you were looking for?

 

That plucked sine wave was very effective. However, maybe have a plucked semi-popcorn lead playing 7th chords and 9th chord licks along with the piano. 

 

All in all, it's a good start, but it could use quite a bit of development. I'm here if you need any help with what I explained.
