Re: They just keep comin` (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I usually get the words, sometimes just a couplet, sometimes a verse, first. It's the building on that base that varies; sometimes it's a quick job and sometimes I can't add to the beginning for weeks or months.
Then I have to find the chords without ripping off other songs... That's the hardest part for me.

Re: Song Title need lyrics and music - "Yesterday Was a Long Night" (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Yesterday was a long night
But today feels like a week
If I ever get through to next month
I'll need a year for sleep
Done on a bit of stream of consciousness, as you can probably tell but you're welcome to use it if you like!

Re: Online guides to Garageband (3 replies, posted in Recording)
Many thanks! I got a bit lost when I looked at the Garageband help last time hence the post. Maybe I lost heart before getting to lessons 3 and 4 so I'll go back and look. Again, many thanks for taking the time and I'll post a reply when I've had time to read through the Help properly.

Topic: Online guides to Garageband (3 replies, posted in Recording)
Does anyone know of straightforward guides to using Garageband that are available online for free?
I would like to record all the instruments separately, as there's only me, and then put them all together, if that doesn't sound simplistic and/or naive!

Re: Ukulele Chordchart under Resources (10 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
As we're on the subject, how about a mandolin chord chart? I wonderfully and unexpectedly received a mandolin banjo this Christmas and there are relatively few resources online, especially with chords. My interests are more rock, blues, pop rather than folk, Irish (the more traditional mandolin fields) and the banjo tone lends itself well to those genres.
I know that the the chords are on here, as for the uke, from the drop-down box, and it would be so valuable to have charts for mandolins and ukes.
