when I first pick up a guitar after hearing music in my head I always thought that some day some one with a guitar could walk into a recording studio and change every thing .44 years later the only thing thats changed is I now think I AM THAT MAN
HI JOHN did you get my recording of jimi hendrix is not my name

I played it a tiny bit too fast and made a few mistakes, but it kind of gives you the idea.
Say
Verse
It seems extraordinary we should have no fear
Of the sun and rising tides
Or that the world we live in and all its' glory
Could turn to dust and die
Chorus
You don't want to believe me
Don't want it to be that way
I don't want to deceive you
When I say
Verse
Like convenience junkies, pain of withdrawal
Seems too high a price
The pill is sugar coated, so it goes down easy
To hide the bitterness inside
Chorus
You don't want to believe me
Don't want it to be that way
I don't want to deceive you
When I say
Bridge
Why, oh why must we
All toe the line
Each want and need fulfilled for
All to see, for all to see sometimes
Verse
In pathetic ritual we act out lives
Numbed by our senseless greed
Forever standing, our hands outreaching
Always, always wanting more
Chorus
You don't want to believe me
Don't want it to be that way
I don't want to deceive you
When I say…
record and release

I HAVE TO say john is on the right track on this one sounds like to me he has put a lot of thought into this there is a saying if you always do what you have always done you will always get what you have always got . if ever there was a time to break the mould its now .some of my ideas are going to be that mind blowing when they come out and are tried the idea I AM WORKING on at the moment is jimi hendrix has a brother leon hendrix I AM TRYING to get in contact with him I WANT TO TRANS FORM him in to the next guitar hero .he has played guitar for 25 years his singing needs a total over haul .he has never got much or anything out of jimi money . I WANT TO SHOW HIM how to change all this .I HAVE COMPOSED A SONG THAT will have leon being able to go on stage and by the time he done the song .it will have spread around the world hendrix fans have a new hendrix to follow . as a song writer who wants to compete against the best songwriters out there .I WOULDNT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY . THE ONLY PERSON I AINT INTERESTED IN COMPETING WITH IS ME . if you have done your best at writing a song thats it. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE on song stuff a board that singers and bands that are starting to see there fame decline let songstuff songwriters help them have the songs they need to get there bands on the way up .I HOPE Popthree not only does this sound good to you but as a songwriter you are up to the challenge and as far as having to go into a professional recording studio if you have a song you think that good there is nothing wrong with putting your money where your mouth is I have no qualms in doing so for a song I believe in

I AM GETING CONSIDERED WITH the A team FOR THE HITSONGCHALLENGE FOR THIS SORT OF THING WOULD YOU CONSIDER ME ACTIVE POPTHREE

I AM from scotland we dont speak with marbles in our mouths just joking
I do feel about composing music and writing lyrics the lyric side is writing words in a different pattern and saying something in a different choice of words than normally used .
and people can be very good at playing complicated music of others but ask them to come up with some thing new and they wouldnt know where to start there playing is just copying
to learn composing you have to understand its a art of the mind its better to work out something in your head and only then pick up your guitar and work it out

it is a complex , multifaceted subject what a person would have to have to make it in the music industry .and there would be so many different mixes of what would make a artist or songwriter stand out .even with really good musician that can do covers of songs to the highest standard .just dont seam to get any where in the music business because they dont seem to understand .doing covers of songs in the long term is the reason they will fail . I have been writing songs as a hobby 44 years never played any bodys music .dont count . just a lefthanded person that hears music in my head and has a chord directory in my head that has always got the chords I NEED . and your wright john I WILL have to start a thread about what it takes to make it in the music industry . but first I WILL let my music do the talking . my producer ANDY for the Ateam has just installed new equipment in his studio to finnish MRBLUESMAN FOR THE HITSONG CHALLENGE . SO it should be quite soon I will get Andy to get incontact about sending it for songstuff to consider and we can send the 6 minute ish first recording to show which ideas didnt make it to the finnished recording

I must admit I wish you had done a thread about what a person would have to have to make it in the music industry .

this is a interesting question and dilemma for me i have been working on a few different projects i have been writing a song for the hitsong challenge and i have a operatic pop song which i want to collaberate with a classical composer and i have got incontact with a up and coming young female vocalist . both projects i am passionate about . with this covid the local recording studio i was working with had to shut to the public . the recording studio said they would record one song for me and if they could do more they would do more at a later date . so you can emagine it felt like you were stuck on the top of a cliff holding 2 people one in each hand but you could only save one . which do you choose . this was hard i had to choose one to record and the other hopefully they would record soon . i in the end had to take a coin and toss it heads for the hitsong challenge and tails for the operatic pop song . tails won and i got it recorded and sent it to the classical composer that does film scores and he loves it and is going to collaberate on it and hopefully the singer that is going to hear it will want to record it . i now am waiting for the song for the hitsongchallenge to be recorded for my A team to work on

your piano was to low volume compared to your voice

for great melodies vocal or guitar driven i think yngwie johann malmsteen swedish guitarist is king check him out
-
the notes in a scale are lets say set at the pitch they are through people agreeing thats what they would be set at they could quiet as easly decide to have them a semitone less or higher or just any micro different so having perfect pitch is just about being born with the same mind set as the tones that are used what music is really about is hearing the intervals between notes and making music out of them Az09

I do feel that web sites with a combination of getting songs on radio could work together better but as a a songwriter still feel the only way to get on is the combination of the right song with a singer with a big fan base
