Theres a job I want that requires along with my musical portfolio, a demo CD showing different and contrasting styles, along with showing talent and ability. Its due like June 2010, so I have abit of time (and well needed, I neglected guitar for playing bass for the past 8 months, need to get back to speed)

Anyways. So, My idea I think is to write afew songs, rather than just doing cover songs, cause I already feel relatively comfortable doing that. I may do a standard or so, who knows.

its suppose to be 15-30 minutes. Lets say, give or take, 4-5 songs?

What kind of styles should I cover? Keep in mind this is a session job, I wont be doing any metal, or at the very heaviest will be AC/DC, that kinda stuff.

1 - Rock / Progressive rock
2 - Jazz (standard swing/rhythm changes style)
3 - Blues / Pop (typical 12 bar blues or something)
4 - Fusion/Latin (Chick corea/Casiopea-ish) Mainly cause this is my fav style.
5 - Funk/Motown/soul?

Do you think that'd be a well rounded demo CD showing off some decent styles, or should I try to fit more in there? What else would a session job want to hear.. (It says Electric guitar for the audition so I am assuming I wont have to do much banjo/mandolin/classical, but hm maybe)

looks pretty good to me, although you included blues/pop as one track. Id definitely have a separate track dedicated to pop. It can kind of go with your funk/r&b thing. Something kind of groovy, laid back and non-technical/subtle to show off your accompaniment skills. Also, be sure not to dive into any genres you aren't actually very competent in -> don't want to false advertise.

thats why i left off classical. -_-
