i am a hopeless song writer, it is really quite worrying. i can't write anything without thinking it sounds crap, too predictable or a blatant rip off.

then i think this is probably because i'm usually trying to write without some sort of vocal melody - but then i'm just as awful at trying to come up with that too - lyrics included.

then i think, well maybe, because i usually try to write with just my acoustic or electric guitar, that i need to be in a room with a drummer or bassist. i just spent three hours in a rehearsal studio with a fellow guitarist, drummer and pseudo-bassist and we got half a song down which i already feel like giving up on. awful.



maybe music isn't your strong point...can you write lyrics?

hmmm...maybe you're more of a lead guitarist. Better equipped for filling in parts taht are already written by a bandmate than writing chord progressions yourself.....I"m trying to give you hope here.....

I share your experiences, Crouton. When "the bad touch" by the Bloodhound gang was released I was a bit irritated, because i had written a song called "Groovy Rudi" years ago that's almost the same - same chords, similar style, similar melody...When I played it to people everyone would say: "Uh-oh - you stole it from The Bloodhound Gang...." :)

Was it named after Rudi Voller, the master German goal-poacher with the hideous haircut???
