Re: My guitar lens (3 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
very nice except that i would say that accoustic rule.
sure they are harder to play and some begginers get frustrated but in the long run playing an accoustic first helps
its always easy to switch from accoustic to electric but hard to do vice versa

Re: HELP PLEASE (13 replies, posted in Songwriting)
first just pick a key you want to sing in .
after that play around with the chords in that key for example:
say you want to play in Cmajor it might go like
C F C G Dm F Am G
that would make a nice verse progression
then do something simple for your chorus like
C F C F C Am F
Then do something for an interlude
start by just playing around with the Cmajor and Cmajor pentatonic scales and add a few bends and accidentals
Heres the two scales:
major
---------------------------7-8-
-----------------------8-10----
-----------------7-9-10--------
-----------7-9-10--------------
-----7-8-10--------------------
-8-10--------------------------
major pentatonic
------------------------8-10---
-------------------8-10---------
---------------7-9--------------
-----------7-10-----------------
------7-10----------------------
-8-10---------------------------

Im Alive
Lying awake again tonight
Cause thoughts of you wont let me
Close my eyes
And in my mind I see the place
Youre there as I touch your face..
Tossing and turning the whole time
Visions of you all through my mind
Day after day I make a wish
I cant keep going on like this......
chorus>*Why cant I show you who I am
How can I be in your life
It only eats me up inside
that you dont know
that Im alive oh oh
you dont know that
Im Alive...
They say you cant fall off the floor
Am I only hurting myself more
I need to stop these tears from flowing
I cannot blame you for not knowing
[back to chorus*]
As I lay me down to sleep
I say a prayer for God to keep
You safe and well
For one more day
Until I find a way...To show you who I am
I will be in your life
It wont eat me up inside
You'll know Im alive
You will know that Im alive...
(Song starts to fade and these words are heard
Somehow I need
To make you see that
You are
Where I wanna be.</font>

Cry yourself to sleep my boy,

Your time has gone before you know.
They say,
Only look forward never look back,
Your lifes in the future the past is all black.
Historys forgotten as we run this rat-race,
Its covered in concrete as we fight for more space.
Question the reasons they give you for why,
You should live as they say and not how you try.
Look with your own eyes see beyond what you're told,
Stand up be counted we can never be sold.
Cry yourself to sleep my boy,
No youth for you that time has past.
Cry yourself to sleep my boy,
No innocence that cannot last.
So what happens now to those left behind?
Their prayers are unanswered theres no longer a shrine.
The names that were worshipped left them corrupted and stranded,
Our children are lost their souls are left branded.
Cry yourself to sleep my boy,
The time has come for you to grow.
Cry yourself to sleep my boy,
Your time has gone before you know.
Cry yourself to sleep my boy,
No youth for you that time has past.
Cry yourself to sleep my boy,
No innocence that cannot last.
Cry yourself to sleep my boy,
Cry yourself to sleep my boy...

Re: Sheet music (8 replies, posted in Acoustic)
while i dont play guitar from sheet music i think its important to learn how to read music. if you play any other kind of instument like a trumpet or sax your gonna need to know how to read musical notation. it will also help your guitar playing
