Re: Idea 11

ctech what you offer is more than  a single idea. My second instructor once told me to practice every day. I took what he told me to heart. If you can do that you will reach a level few others will reach.

Music is what feelings sound like.
Music is life, that why our hearts have beats.

I would challenge that statement - sometimes it takes something different to finish a song, I don't think it's always based on musical knowledge; - do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

Re: Idea 11

I like the way you've gone electronic lately this is another little cracker that has the basis of a great song. Let us know when it's finished, I can't wait to see what you do with the lyrics.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Idea 11

Thanks Classical Guitar, i do practice maybe my problem is i never try to play other peoples songs.  Maybe i should give that a go. Thanks again.

Re: Idea 11

Cheers Phill,I bought me a 18 year old Technics kn 6000 for £190 ,because i wanted to get away from the computer,its nice to just sit down and play around until you get something good going,the record to my 8 track(need more tracks).Also I just got a book on arranging songs so hopefully it will help when building a song. Ill post when put the words in ,i hear something but its a bit messed up.

Re: Idea 11

I once saw a thing on tv about the Eurythmics and how they wrote their songs. Well as you probably know they were a very electronic band? Dave Stuart used to noodle on acoustic guitar while Annie Lennox messed about with words and melody lines until they arrived at a song. They then took the bare bones into the studio and electrified it. So, writing words and a tune is just the beginning, the hit song is created by the arrangement and production and of course the performance.
I wish I could listen to my own advice.

Re: Idea 11

Ctech that has come out good. It would make a good Movie or TV theme tune.

I've got a funny story about the Eurythmics - back in the early days of jamming, we had a friend, named Porky, who was a bit of a talker; he managed to get himself backstage on a tour with the Eurythmics, and got his guitar signed, here are the pics:

Anyway, there was a dear old lady who ran a music store very close to the place where I lived, so he took it to her to sell, and she thought she'd get a better price if she cleaned it all off - poor guy was broken when she told him how well it cleaned up. These are the only photos in existence, and I went with him to one of the gigs and after party. It was less wild than I thought it would be ....

Cheers
