pacey988 0 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Does anyone here compose music or perform music? I am learning guitar, I find it fun, I write songs too, but I have trouble putting music and lyrics together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I'm in your same stiuation.It's easy for me to invent new guitar riffs (or bass lines-I play bass too!), but I can't write any lyrics!I also can't play and sing at the same time. I guess it's not that hard, as almost every band has a lead guitarist/bassist that also sings!Oh, I almost forgot...Welcome!!!get an avatar!

pacey988 0 Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 I'm from Louisiana. I've composed like little pieces of music, like the other day I saw this slogan for a TV station and I put it to music. I sometimes imagine the notes in my head but sometimes I wonder if I'm better off doing it on keyboard than guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I compose orchestral and chamber music, and write songs occasionally, also play in orchestras and in a (3-person, drumless) band (mostly we cover oldies, but we have a few own songs already). When writing songs lyrics are also my main problem... I rarely have a good idea that's worth putting into words, and then it'shard to come up with a coherent lyric. So I onlyhave 1 completed and 1 almost completed song atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacey988 0 Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 Where are you from Tommy and do you have any other way I can contact you? I've been playing guitar for like, almost a year. I can compose like little bits of music but not a whole song, I've tried a lot of chord patterns, like the other day my teacher was telling me about the 1, 4, 5 pattern, the first chord, then the fourth and fifth relative chord. I've tried getting over my singing too, I just have felt lately that I can't sing as well as I did when I was like 12, and it ticked me off one time to see this pop singer sing in this weird operatic voice on stage, it angered me that I didn't have his voice, it made me angry and annoyed just like listening to the singer from Evanescence, one time it just really got me angry when I had the tv on and they were performing, I literally said "you better have a voice that can do more than break glass to make it" and I felt so ticked off, so frustrated. I've not worried about it lately and it's a good thing to be honest. I've more and more decided to concentrate on the music itself and not necessarily the vocals. I just feel sometimes if I ever wanted to sing again the voice would be there but lately I felt less and less confident in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I can't inspiration from anything, and it's "amazing" on how some artist (expecially punk bands) can write lyrics inspired by the most common things we do every day.A good example could be "Mr.Cofee" by Lagwagon. It's a funny stupid song, but the lyrics are so simple.Here's the link:http://www.lyricsdownload.com/lagwagon-mr-...fee-lyrics.htmlHey, it's just an example.

pacey988 0 Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 I listen to mostly pop/rock, some classical like movie soundtracks and some instrumental. My favorites are John Mayer and Third Eye Blind, my favorite classical composer is Williams of course but I have other soundtracks I like by Goldsmith (namely Planet of The Apes, Logan's Run, Patton) and others. I'm glad you liked the lyrics, I have some guitar samples of me playing, if you would like to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 yes!can you send me by e-mail? (if the files aren't too big!)As soon as possible, I will send you some of my recordings...I also have the project of playing JW's greatest themes on guitar.

pacey988 0 Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 I sent you the files, they aren't too big, about 1 MB, of stuff I thought of, like little pieces of music, I still haven't thought of music for the songs I sent you but I do imagine music sometimes, I saw this slogan for a tv station and put the words to music, and then imagined it as a full piece of music. I've expressed interest in being a composer, and I have to ask, is music theory something hard to explain? Is it something like complicated to learn? I may put like a few words to music, like if it were a short slogan advertisement or something and then build around it in my mind but that's it. I've wondered about getting a keyboard too or maybe I could give you a sample of what it sounds like, it's music that came up one night as I was reading about local television stations and their news programs.

John McClane 1 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I like them!Check out these I'm sending you. "NO TALENT" is the name of my virtual band, as I play guitar and bass and I mixed the drums taken from a NOFX song. Of course the name "NO TALENT" is a clear parody of the name "NOFX"!!!I gotta go now, I'll speak with you next Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeshopk 8 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I compose and you can listen to some of my music at my website (below.)Soon I'll put my "serious" music up, which includes most of the symphonic stuff. Though most of it will be synthesized previews and scores in case anyone wants to play them.Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
