Song Writing Help??
So i've been using this forum to learn for a while but now that i'm a half way decent guitarist i was hoping to get some song writing help, mainly with guitar parts and lyrics, i'm a bassist tecnically so my guitar efforts generally fail at being amazing. also i seem to be running into the problem with lyrics, everything i write is to the tempo of a SA song, which sucks so i may need help changing entire parts and such to make it original. would this be cool with people?
Re: Song Writing Help??
just post some stuff you got and i'm sure some people would help
Self-inflicted or not, I find myself on the farthest star, foreign to everything like I woke up with a German tongue.

Re: Song Writing Help??
Hey I write songs too. I used to write songs (lyrically and musically) that were mimics of Say Anything songs. I found writing all the lyrics down in one long sentence/paragraph helps to find a different melody/tempo etc.
Thought that might help.

I do that too^ also writing sonnets really helps. i try write at least one a day in class. once you focus on syllables that much, melodies and rhythm just fall into place easier. Plus, chicks dig a poet

I normally write a melody with
improv lyrics and then put music around it And then make proper lyrics

Re: Song Writing Help??
There was one way I experimented with writing and it worked perfectly. There was an ATL demo that was really crappy, but the bass and drums were pretty distinct, I would turn it up in my headphones and ignore the vocals, focusing on the rhythm, and sing out my ideas, it worked really well, and any type of demo works, because there's very litlle else going on to have to drown out.

Also I think most high school chicks are stonkin' for anyone with any sort of notion of musical talent i.e in a band.

yeah girls are suckers for that in high school, in college it completely switches because you only meet girls who are drunk, and at that point they just wanna be attracted to you and rubbing against your... yeah
