[Hey, everyone!]

Hey there!🙂 great to see you! Have a great time!

[Rock music is dead, now what?]

For me, this is why I am here. 

I don’t think rock n roll is dead. Maybe asleep. Not dead. I am a rock fan, who writes rock music. Not horribly either. I think there is still another Beatles, Stones, Zep, out there! 

Maybe someone just needs to try harder to write that “hook” to a nice bluesy grimy rock n roll riff, instead of a dj. Hang up the pro tools and put your butt in the studio with your band and record the songs in a day, instead of a year. Just my take on that.🙂

[What Instrument do you Record First?]

So far, drums first here. Bass next, guitars, vocals. I think I’m most comfortable with writing to a rhythm section. 

[hello from the redwoods]

Hey Monte! Great to have ya here! Pull up a chair and join the fun!

[Refrain and Chorus]

Yep. Hook is a better way of terming what i was saying about chorus. Nice!👍

[Approaching Songwriting]

I usually have some kind of riff, or even drumbeat before my lyrics come. Lyrics come to me in bunches at any givin time. I text them to myself and use those texts to write songs. Pretty simple.  I don’t ever really “try” to write a piece of music. It just happens. 

[Refrain and Chorus]

These are guesses and takes:

 

Refrain. I think that is a subtle calm before a bridge or chorus that gives the piece a chance to expand before a build up.

Chorus: Usually a repetitive line or paragraph sang by background vocalists that ties the verses together. 🙂

[What is your biggest singing struggle?]

For me, its always really just letting it out. Using my own voice. I have a tendency to be timid, and sometimes catch myself trying to emulate instead of create. A lot of times, my vocals are much better when I just use my natural voice. I have yet to master this myself. But, its popped up a few times at rehearsal and home. 

[How Good A Songwriter Are You?]

Kinda interesting to ask yourself some of these questions. At least for me.

Hey Everyone,

 

New guy to the forum. I've been checking out some ways of sharing and finding music, and happened across several forums such as this, having me very excited.

 

I'm a youth punk/rock artist with a yet to be defined twist. I like working with a lot of styles. However punk remains the most fun.

 

I can't wait to see all the cool work being shared here. Catch you guys soon!

Hey man! 🤘✌️
