He's no scam i researched him and he's legit, he met me once in person as a favor to a friend of mine, that's how i ended up sending him the clip, but now he said he wants to hear more and wants me to give him something that would convince him beyond a shadow of a doubt that i have the chops to be in the business.

Re: She Prays (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
It was a very personal song and yes it WAS a situation I was in but thankfully got myself out of before it was to late, two weeks after I left my ex was murdered because he was a raving drunk. Now I make it a point to share my story and try my hardest to help other women and men that could be in the same situation, thank you for the positive feedback and I will have the chords soon . . .

Topic: She Prays (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
So this is the first song I've ever attempted to write and I'm afraid it might just show. I haven't tried putting chords to it yet because I just started playing guitar a few days ago, so any feedback good or bad is much needed and any tips would help as well.
Verse 1:
He left a handprint on her face,
her heart broken in the night.
She'll swear he didn't mean to,
she messed up, he was right.
She should have never crossed him,
it's really not his fault.
He'll cry and say he's sorry when the alcohol wears off
Chorus:
So she prays to god everynight
Please make everything alright
He's a good man
With a bad habbit
He's a lover on a good day
and a fighter when he's had it
Verse 2:
She knows that she should leave him
but she doesn't have the heart
Without her he would break down
and slowly fall apart
He needs her more than anything
she's sure of that by now
Besides there's nothin left for her
in this hell hole of a town
Chorus:
But she prays to god every night
Please make everything alright
There's a big ol' world out there
She wants a piece of it
But it's no place for a small town girl
She'd never survive it
Verse 3:
Last night she dreamt of a perfect place
With roses and white fences
She was miles away from her broken life
Full of empty promises and wishes
She took it as her sign to leave
on a greyhound bound for somewhere
She'll board that bus
and never look back
on that man who never cared
Chorus:
And she'll pray to god tonight
Thanks for making everything right
You lit the way for me last night
I'll never forget it
I'm gonna live the life I was meant to live
and cherish every minute.

Topic: strum patterns and chord progressions (7 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I've always been pretty musically inclined. I picked up a guitar a few days ago and have caught on pretty quickly i'm having a problem combining strum patterns and chord progressions and singing the lyrics
Example:
G Em C D
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
the strum pattern is D-U-D-D-U
i dont quite know if i'm making any sense but my question is between the C and D i dont understand how to finish the strum pattern so quickly before i'm supposed to sing at fake or do I change chords in the middle of a strum pattern? I've certainly confused myself with this post but I'm hoping that someone can make sense of it and help me.
Thanks,
Naomi
