I was thinking that maybe it would be nice to have a “(just for fun) topic/ thread” were we post our own (or cover of a) “guilty pleasure song”. A song you did write (or play) but does not really fit into your repertoire (because it is to commercial or the lyrics are filled with clichés or…) But you “kinda like” anyway. You know “guilty pleasure”. So let’s see what happens when I start this: Mine is called “Just An Other Hit The Road Song”. It’s a song with a kinda reggae feel in it (and I do not do reggae). It is filed with clichés and I even have copy/paste the line “Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no…” in it. I think that is more than enough reason to feel guilty about this song. The pleasure? It makes me happy. I challenge you all to post yours... if you dare.

Thank you both for the command / remarks. That was very helpful for me. Did make the adjustments in the written lyrics. It will takes a bit longer to re-record the song, but I will do so in time…

Is this the right pleace to post this? Did record this song/demo at home (on a Boss BR600). Just two guitars and the vocals. It is not ment to be a perfect demo just a recording to get/give an impression about what the song could become (Idea for a song). I would appreciate some feedback. What do you think of what I have so far? Thanks in advance Roll the dice: Let’s roll the dice, let the game begin. What are the changes, to lose again. If this is what you’re living for, If this is what you’re longing for. No one said it would be easy, but it might be worth trying. For there may never be a time like this again (bay). And you may never get a chance like this again. For you may never feel alive like this again (bay). And the clock keeps ticking… Let’s roll the dice, double our lost bet. Let’s grab that last chance, before we go to sleep. And in the morning we’ll start over, and try it all again. No one said it would be easy, but it might be worth trying. For there may never be a time like this again (bay). And we may never get a chance like this again. For we may never be alive like this again (bay). And the clock keeps ticking…

I hope this is the right please to post this… I've been listening to this talk between two of my favourite songwriters Matt Berninger (from The National) and Conor Oberst (from Bright Eyes) about songwriting. Maybe interesting for somebody as well…

Hi, I am kinda new here. A songwriter that plays guitar. Here I wanna share an application for guitar players that I did build for myself. There are a lot of applications that show you scales and chords but I just could not find where I was really looking for, so I build it myself (It’s a Flash application so you need a Flash-player). Since I am the only one using (and loving) this app I was thinking maybe there are other people how would like this to. By all means: be my guest J Why is it differed and what does it do? 1. It Has two guitar necks/fretboards (to easily compare) 2. On top (above) of every guitar neck there are two menu’s (left “guitar scales” and right “guitar chords”) Here you can choose the key and kinda scale or/and chord. If you choose a scale the positions of all the notes in that scale will be shown on the keyboard (nothing special). 3. If you choose a chord it will not show you chord positions as you used to, but it will show you all the notes that are in that chord spread out over the keyboard! 4. Then there is the possibility to tune every string in the application! So if you put your guitar in another (let’s say “open”) tuning then the standard tuning, you put the app in the same tuning and you can then Easley find the positions of scales and chords in that tuning. (to tune: open the scale menu (on the left top of one of the guitar necks) find the tuning arrows (up and down) and hit the up or down arrow and see)… It’s free, no commercials and nobody owns me anything J just sharing a tool that I use a lot myself.
