Newbie's First Post, Introduction, Etc...

[Threndor]

Hello all, I am a 16-year-old white male living in the United States (specifically, the state of Wisconsin[state motto- "You'll smell the cows"]), a Christian, and a beginning guitar player and songwriter. I joined this site mainly to seek help in developing my lyric-writing skills, which are... well, what you'd expect from a 16-year-old combined with what you'd expect from a beginner.

Don't worry, we all had to start at the begining.

Cheers

Welcome Threndor. Interesting Moniker! What you into?

Thanks. The name is from a short novel I wrote last year (Star Wars fan fiction- it netted me five awards on the website where I posted it).

I'm into soft rock, acoustic rock, and a few select bands that don't fit under those categories, namely Green Day (new sound, i.e. 1997-present), Northern Room, Anberlin, Linkin Park (Minutes to Midnight ONLY) and Yellowcard.

Personally, most of what I have been writing so far is of the ballad genre, with an exception or two. Three months ago a friend observed that I should just record everything I'd written and release it under the album title "I Screwed Up." That should tell you something about my typical theme, although I'm trying to break that habit.

album title "I Screwed Up."

I think we've all written that album!

The great thing about that theme, is that when you run out of ideas, all you have to do is wait a few days!
