Where are all the songwriters . . .
Posted: 17 Jun 2023, 15:09There are a lot of talented guitarists here, and surprisingly not many original songs. Can't see why not with the decades of experiences herein, and the tons of effects, backings available these days.
I have to say, for me anyway, I find it so much more satisfying to have completed something original than a pure copy of someone else's.
Get out there and do it guys - hum something that could be a verse, put it on a recorder, then hum something that could be a chorus and you're there !
Mind you, if it sounds a bit like like 'My Way' or 'White Christmas' . . . hmmm
This is what I'm currently working on. It was originally going to be a surf instrumental called 'Frantic', i.e. those frantic tremolo sounds that the Aussies liked so much in the early 60's but is turning out more as a Morricone type Western feel. Who would have guessed, it's the magic of writing stuff every time, no one knows what it'll sound like when done. Honestly anyone can do this stuff, just sit down and let it pour out of you.
So here's a first, this recording is neither finished, tweeked or even started but the foundation is there - verse and chorus. Plus 'ideas' such as walking cowboy boots and spurs sounds / gunshots etc. You can do the same !
I'll probably have it complete by the end of the week to come.
'Gunfight at the Rio Grande' unfinished . . .
