Hello everyone! I would like to introduce myself. I am a songwriter, originally from California, but living in Iowa (USA) now for many years. I am a music lover, for sure, and for that reason writing songs seemed a natural extension of my interests. I am not much of a musician/performer. I play around on the piano and can write a score on the computer that is adequate for an arranger to get the drift of what I am trying to convey. I grew up in a musical family, with both grandmothers piano teachers, and one of them also a cellist. So classical music is in my DNA, as well as jazz, and retro rock (70s and earlier). I am a latecomer to country music, although I appreciate the mature emotional depth that country can unleash. I have also been a fan of serious sacred music and some popular music over the decades, especially musical theater. I started writing songs to put in a series of full-length musicals that I wrote, set in different decades in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This gave me license to write songs in a variety of genres, for a variety of voices, duets, and ensembles. Many of those songs are stand-alone songs that I have since had recorded. I do not do my own recordings, but instead send my music to a studio in Nashville for arranging, performance, and recording. If you would like to listen to some of my music, here are links to my first two albums containing a variety of genres: pop, country, folk, blues, rock, and jazz.

A tender ballad Easy Living has forthright lyrics that declare just how wonderful life can be when living for someone you love. The songwriting team of Ralph Rainger and Leo Robin wrote Easy Living in 1937 for the film of the same name which was well-reviewed and is best characterized as a screwball comedy classic. Their partnership was a productive one, producing a number of hits in the '30s, and lasted until Rainger’s tragic death in a plane crash in 1942. Read more on MusicTales.club

Hi, I’m new here and was wondering if anyone here would be interested in viewing a YouTube video of me improvising on the piano. This is an old instrument from 1901 that has been holding me back a bit but upgrading this weekend to a Yamaha U1! I’m only hoping to make more professional videos as time goes on. Thanks!

blues Do you like blues? Then you should listen to this
tymothin posted a topic in Musician's Lounge
Hey there forum, I am 'tymothin', 26 years old, and I live in a small town close to Amsterdam, so in the Netherlands. I play guitar for around 8 years. I've learned different kinds of music instruments like piano, the arabic oud, the turkish baglama etc. These days I'm working on electronic music and I'm trying to get fretless guitar lessons. I've played a small blues impro on my electric guitar, and a friend of me (the guy on the picture in this video) has uploaded this on YouTube. I hope you will like it... And please share me your thoughts below! Take care! With my musical greetings, tymothin- 1 reply

Hello everyone! My name is Joey and I am new to this platform. I'm excited to share music with all of you back-and-forth. I'm from Cleveland, Ohio and am an acoustic singer-songwriter highly influenced by Jazz and Soul. Currently in school right now but am managing to do music on the side. If there are any groups that you may know of that I might fit well in with the genres that I like, I'd appreciate a recommendation! Thanks! Joey

Hi people, So I am a huge music lover myself and harbour hopes for singing. The only thing... I need honest feedback from you guys. I feel that my voice is more suited to slow/mid-tempo songs, so I tend to focus on them more. Here's a raw, home-recorded sample of the song "At Last"... please do let me know honestly what you think. Would really appreciate it Thanks, Sreyashi

Since there has been some jazz talk on this forum lately, I thought I would post a new thread. When playing jazz, one of the more challenging aspect is playing over the dominant chords which are altered in most circumstances. What tricks do you guys use? I thought I would post a couple to get the thread started. For those not familiar with this subject, a brief explanation. In order to get the 'color' of jazz you need to know the 'hip' notes to play over a dominant chord. For instance, in the key of C the dominant would be G7. The obvious notes in the chord are G B D F which you will want to utilize, particularly the 3rd and 7th which are B and F. The chord extensions are where the action is, such as the 9th (A)/11th (C)/13th (E). In general, sliding these extensions up/down a half step gives you the nice altered tones. The cool notes are the Ab (flat ninth or b9), Bb (sharp ninth or #9 which is also the minor third), the Db (b5 / #11), and the Eb (#5 or b13). Of course, seeing/hearing these notes in real time and playing them presents a problem for most guitarists. So, there are, quite naturally, some tricks. TRICK #1: When you see a dominant chord, play the melodic or harmonic MINOR scale ONE HALF STEP UP from the chord root. For instance, on our G7 example, you would play Ab (G#) minor with a major 7th. The melodic minor scale gives these notes Ab Bb Cb Db Eb F G Ab which contain the 3rd (B or Cb in our example) and the 7th (F) of our G7 along with some tasty colored tones: Ab (b9), Bb (#9), Db (b5/#11), and Eb (b13). It's as easy as this! Arpeggiate a simple minor triad one half step up from the dominant to get started, and expand on it. TRICK #2: Play around on the dom 7th chord a TRITONE UP from the dominant chord. This is know as tritone substitution and it is not that complicated - it was actually a trick that some early players used that became part of the language of jazz. So, for our example, you would play a Db7 arpeggio over the G7 chord. The notes are Db F Ab Cb(B). Again, you see the 3rd (B) and the 7th (F) along with 2 other notes Db, which is the b5 or #11, and Ab which is the b9 for some very nice color. Toss in the 6th of this chord (Bb) for one of my favorites, the #9. A nice easy trick that will get you sounding 'hip' very quickly. There are some other cool tricks, so share them if you guys use 'em! Peace, TC

Hi Songstuff members! Let me introduce myself! Since I was 1 year old, I was responding to music so differently. When I was 1 and half year old, when Young and Restless' orchestral theme Nadia's Theme starts to play I closed my eyes and raise my arms and clench my fist and release it repeatedly every time. Since I was 2 I've been singing for hours walking around the room. I wanted to play guitar when I was 6 but people said you're too young for it and I started playing keyboards instead. Because of my science lessons was good enough and my father cracked my mind with successful engineer's and scientist's stories, I was orientated to study science in high school. Unfortunately I was successful in Maths and Physics especially. But I always composed music, kept playing guitar that I've been playing since I was 12 and my parents bought an electric guitar that will help me improve my solo guitar skills. I was studying in science and maths department in the best high school in my home town. It has never felt completely right but I was not aware that I was in the wrong path. And in 2009 when Michael Jackson died I realized nothing is right. I realized I don't want to keep studying for the regular college exams. I could never convince my parents about getting in conservatory exams, they said when you go to college in Istanbul, you can have music lessons outside your school and make your music in your spare time with your bands. And they were aware that art is never treated specially in Turkey. Knowing I can't enter to conservatory exams, I chose Industrial Design major because of it's discipline's similarity between composing and arranging, and the relation between consumer and listener. I got in Bahcesehir University's Industrial Design department with half scholarship (Paying $7,000 a year). I have never been enough passionate about the major I studied and every year I said I don't want to study in here anymore and expressed my unhappiness saying I want to take exams for conservatories, but my father didn't allow me to drop out from the college. His researches showed music schools in İstanbul are terrible about developing students and everyone is saying teachers are cranky, above that all the schools are teaching classic music, there is no music school that teaches Contemporary music for students who are prone to Jazz based music styles. This year is my last year in university, I passed all the lessons with success so far. In 2011 I started singing lessons as my teacher is still Timur Selçuk; well known pianist, composer, conductor and singer in Turkey, and France, for 60s and 70s. I am also the score writer of plays in my schools Theater of Bahçeşehir University in 2012 (The Good Person of Szechwan by Brecht and All My Sons by Arthur Miller). I take a lot of time for the passion and purpose of my life. My university classes are really stressing and difficult but in all the times I create, I dedicate myself to my music. In my second year of college I accepted to be the composer of music's in two theater plays of the Bahcesehir University, the time I spend on composing the scores gave me peace. And I hope music will be my main responsibility, as this responsibility will bring me joy, happiness and peace, no matter how tiring it will be. I love being on stage, composing and collaborating with different musicians.
