    I'm looking for any recommendations on books to improve my songwriting/lyrics. Most of the books I find are heavy on group collaborations. for instance 'The Frustrated Song Writers Handbook' which I was told was very good, I found to be almost useless for me. It was based on the Immersion Music Method, which I honestly couldn't get into very much, and it promoted group or 'lodge songwriting'. Any suggestions. Jim

    John - Great article - you gave a full breakdown. I'm working with Cakewalks Guitar Tracks 4, which comes with an Amplitude teaser. You pretty much answered any questions I had. The price is the only thing keeping me on the fence. Thanks. JIm

    ITS IN ME AND IT HAS TO COME OUT, and it really feels good when I hear something on the radio or anywhere and know its no better than the crap I create. Jim

    I just listened to your "First Song Post" yesterday. You seem to be putting out a fairly desent product. I thought it was good. Did you use someone elses instruments? Jim

    Thanks for commenting on my lyrics. I'm at work and was unable to listen to speak, but I like the lyrics a lot. You have a real talent.

    Another company you might want to check is Carvin. They make guitars to your specs. Played one or two and never heard of anyone who had complaints.

    I have the same problem. I have some songs that I consider fairly good, at least I'm impressed they came out of me, but I don't have the confidence to sing. I will when i think no one can hear. I tried recording vocals once or twice and it s very discouraging.

    I like this topic, it can go in many different directions, all depending on your definition of success. John and Tunesmith, both make excellant points. I personally have no real aspirations for the business aspect, if it came it would give me great satisfaction, of course! I now get the satisfaction from the process, and did I achieve my expectations of what I was trying to get at with a particular song. So if your frustration is your perceived lack of progress in your skill level, which from what I've seen of your work, surpasses mine - your just in a self perceived rut. As for success on a business level, you do not hold that destiny in your hands alone. Theres alot more people involved on that level. Just enjoy your gift, alot of people can't do what you do.

    I'm in sort of the same situation. I'm 46, I've written songs on and off since 9th grade. It's the same as playing guitar, I'll never make a living at either, but I wouldn't stop either one. It's part of you. Sometimes I think of my songs as the same as pictures from your past. My wife looks at old songs and I get the look. I'm the only one that knows where it came from and it just makes her wonder what I'll be like when I'm senile. You shut out the world, no mortgage, no kids, bills, etc... You keep coming back to it because you don't have a choice. Don't question it, just enjoy it. I'm glad to see I'm not the only old - wannabe/probably never will be - out there though. Just keep doing what you do.
