I dont consider it bad:) There is only one rule to be held - RECORD (or tab ofc
 ) EVERY IDEA YOU GET because our memory... fails Also.. its unlikely, that you finish song right off the cuff.. better chance is, that you will work on it for days/weeks/months.. and you surely can do more things at one time, as long, as they are different and you record/tab every idea Cheers Jakub -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

Just like Juan said.. Yesterday, I wrote almost complete song.. with 3 guitars, bass, a bit of lyrics and singing melody and solo.. When I woke up this morning, I said to my self "geese... that sucks.. how could I compose it?"
But I wont delete it, because I know, that one day, that mood will come again:) Ideas need to grow.. And you must not force them. It might become masterpiece in few days.. in few months.. or never:) But you never now.. every song is like a lottery ticket:) Most of them are losing ones... but one of them must win:) And then you have to find out, WHY it won.. what is your right way to write music and what is the style, you are best composing in Most important thnig (that I am hardly fighting to keep) is to NEVER WASTE TIME AND IDEAS:) Even a sucky lick/rythm can be improved and be used:) just a few words, from 7 months playing guitarist

I work on many songs at the same time.
If you are lucky to finish one song in few days I think it's like a picture of yourself at that moment, a kind of "mood-freezing". Some songs are in stand-by - half finished, or something like that - while I'm focusing on other songs. -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Jakup has a very good point here,always record your ideas!!
With deeper listening latter on you'll realize that you can make few tunes from something that supposed to be single song. And opposite,mix few of them to create one cool piece.

Also.. if you are stuck with solo, same as me... I need something to finish my A minor pentatonic solo.... What the hell should I put there... it is two bars at the end of solo and it wants something fast.... grrr.. some quick descending run..
What have I done? Gmc/Video Lessons/ Ivan's Pentatonic slides lesson, 4th lick.. and solo is done (well. problem is to play it at 120 bmp.. but I wont go without fight )Btw. 90% of the solo is made from licks, I made up sometime.. and though, they should go to waste.. BUT I tabbed/recorded them and now.. I transcribed them (I mostly compose in E minor.. i like its sound:) ) to A minor, improved them to my current skills (some of them were created, when I played guitar SECOND MONTH.. and now I found a way to speed them, add some techniques and use them:) Although I thought they suck..) You know.. muses fly everywhere around us.. and sometime comes and kisses us.. the thing is not to remember, what they told and believe, they'll come again Btw. what about creating WIKI INSPIRATION THREAD? We can brainstorm on our composing process and write somewhere ways how we all do it Everyone has its own style. . but noone can find it competely:) You just can get closer.. and thread like this, FULL if ideas should be killer imo:) For example, we could put there unusual chord progressions, riff lick fills (licks to fluid up chording..) our favourite chord voicings, rythm patterns... What you guys think?

Always try to write as many songs as you can. Of course, this does not mean that you can work on them in the same time. Just record basic ideas and work on them from time to time. For example take one song one day, if you see it doesn't work take another - it is better to have a choice. Bursts of creativity involving many songs can be great, but be aware it is only a starting point. There is a lot of work and time involved in making one great song, so you have o work your a55 off to make 5 songs. Many song ideas, can lead to good songs if you put your mind to it. So as much work and dedication you put into developing those songs, you will then make 5 good songs to choose from. My advice is, if you try with one song numerous times, and see it doesn't work, leave it for a week or maybe two, maybe you'll get ideas for it later. Choose those songs that are going the smoothest and work on those as much as you can.

I prefer one song at a time..But of course everybody should record/write down all their ideas...After some time you will just get back to one of good ones and try to work it to a song..You really need to sit down and work a lot to make a good song..Take as much time as you can but when you are doing it try to concentrate on max and if its not working leave it to cool a little..I can see a little distracting to work on more than one song at a time , for example ok I did verse here , lets go for the chorus of the second one way...But if you can , why not!
