And now for something completely different:
Do you have a snippet of song floating around that you haven't finished? I want everyone to record a riff, a chord progression, a finger picked section, or a melody line and post it somewhere we can all have a listen. Post the link here. The recording can suck. Your playing needn't be flawless, believe me we'll all feel better if you don't play perfectly. You can play it on guitar, uke, piano, accordion, comb and tissue paper, whatever helps you get the idea across.
Next week, after we have all the pieces assembled, we'll all pick one we like and write to it.
I'll start it off with this piece that never went anywhere. I recorded the original idea and sent it up to David, who modified it to fit a conventional song structure and played it infinitely better than I. I think it's in DADGAD. This song is relatively complete, or at least long, but if you have 30 seconds of something, that's fine too. Please don't feel the need to put together something complete. We just want musical ideas.
I don't remember why it's called Tsunami. Oh wait, yes I do, it was going to be a benefit song for the Tsunami victims, it wasn't going to be called that when it was finished.
Have a listen:

Good luck
That is really cool. I definitely could write something for that.

Great! That's about 4 or 5 song ideas randomly cut and pasted together from my scratch bin....a regular pot-luck :wink:
Use either one or both. Good luck.
What a cool idea, Nick.
Here's a simple little funk riff played in Open G ( :?: ).
Doubt it's enough to hang a song on, but wanted to contribute.

No way...I get a definite Joe Walsh vibe from that. I think I could write something to that too.
And Pearl, I hear Neil Young. I like the first one best.
Yep. Neil Young is one of the favorites.. :note2:
All interesting stuff to work with . My lyric ideas usually outnumber melody and chord progression (both arriving is rare) but here is a chord progression idea I had in the key of A. The guitar is in double drop D tuning DADGBD. The progression basically is picking (I used bare fingers, could used finger picks or a flat pick) string numbers 63421234 then 53421234 (to alternate the bass and create an D and A drone) alternating between Asus4 (oo223o) and D (ooo232) shapes. One cycle thru for each shape moving from the second fret up the neck to the fourth fret (oo445o, etc.), then sixth fret, then ninth fret and back down.

Hi Andy,

Try going to your music page and sending the link from there.
