Ok, so this is actually the first song I've ever fully written. I managed to write the lyrics in less than an hour, probably because the topic for this week made it easy to keep this simple. Still working on the music, though I'm on a roll there too.

"My Electric Guitar"

I ain't got no money, got no weed
I just got my electric guitar
I ain't got no lovin', got no need
I just got my electric guitar

I ain't got no house, got no shoes
I just got my electric guitar
I ain't got no beer, got no booze
I just got my electric guitar

Oh yeah, I just got my guitar
My electric guitar

I ain't got no joy, got no tears
I just got my electric guitar
I ain't got no friends, got no fears
I just got my electric guitar

Oh yeah, I just got my guitar
I ain't just got my electric guitar
Oh yeah, my guitar
My electric guitar

I ain't got no money, got no job
I just got my electric guitar
I ain't got no lovin', got no girl
I just got my electric guitar

Oh yeah, I just got my guitar
My electric guitar

Edit: There we go, now I can edit. I guess I just needed a few more posts

Hi Gixugif,

Good start....and for your first completed song :D Nice job at keeping it focused. What do you hear as far as music style?
probably because the topic for this week made it easy to keep this simple.

Amazing how a few choice words in the assignment seemed to get the creative juices flowing on the forum this week :D

Suggestion: Consider applying a rhyme scheme for the verses....it takes a bit more work at times but makes the images more memorable.

Thanks for sharing and welcome to SSG :mrgreen:

James

Hm, I don't see anyway to edit my original post.

I like the rhyming suggestion. I do have one verse that rhymes, but that's by accident. I was thinking about making the whole thing rhyme, but I was letting my laziness get the better of me. Probably not a good thing for a musician in general. I really like how it ended up though. Not only may it be more memorable, but I like the lyrics themselves better too, even though only a few words actually changed.

Musically I see it being a slow, blues-rock tune. Maybe something comparable to what you might hear in a George Thorogood song

Yeah, thanks, I got it. I just couldn't do it until I had enough posts.
