Yep a new tread to start the year 2010. The idea for this came to me following a remark of Folderoll in the jamroom section These sessions are proving to be very instructive as well, I'm getting to use chord patterns I'd never have thought of myself.
So I was thinking why not posting some song ideas. The rules for this tread, if you want to participate the ideas you have : Everything you post here must be your proper creation and completely copyright free.Let's start with this one : Bossa GalsAn easy song but with a lot of possibilities to improvise. k |

For those of us who prefer to perform rather than write, would a soundclip be appropriate...?

Even more Hmmm. No way are you getting out of at least writing down the chords - trying to pick them out of played music is a nightmare  |

If you have a poem, I have a tune, and we exchange these, we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

There is a songwriting technique called (by some people) "ghosting", which involves selecting an established song that contains the elements you want to include in your song, and then building upon that idea. For instance, I want to write a funny song about the problems inherent in alcohol consumption, so I found an old punk song called "Drugs In My Pocket" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXARaoXHYMI - that sounds a bit like what I have in mind. Here is a sample of the bass and drum track that came from that process, and now I'll present this basic idea in our "collaboration" section and see where it goes. |

Getting a little confused now. This thread seems to be doubled up, and there's a PDF at the start of Rony's tune that I don't remember seeing. I would think I was going crazy, but that's impossible - I've been crazy for decades  |

I would think I was going crazy, but that's impossible - I've been crazy for decades Will, I've just transferred my "song idea" in this thread over to the "Collaborations" section, for futher development. As for the PDF file, how could you have examined Kara's song idea without opening that file, I wonder...  ? |
