Cool! Nice to hear you can get the same picture as I do I will have to start writing the lyrics soon, it just seems that songwriting goes so slowly Let's just hope the results are worth it Yeah, take your time, write, write and write, no matter if you are not sure of each word and each phrase, write it down, let everything go out. Then, you can slowly polishing each part. But what's it's important is to avoid blocking by letting everything go out... -------------------- My lessons

Hi Gabe,
I just finished another analysis of a song, seven nation army, this version by Ben L'oncle soul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWWZx8P9MAA I only transcribed the melody line in the verse, because there is no singing in the intro and bridge and in the chorus it's more like a few repetitions of what has already been sung. more like freestyling so to say. |

Hey mate, what a killer version you've found!
It's curious to see how much a song can grow by working on the arrangements. The original song is very simple but still really cool. This version is full of stuff but keeps the feel and spirit of the original one, but makes it sound so big. This analysis should give you ideas on how you could arrange your songs for a full band, so the comparison between the original and this one is also a essential part of the analysis. Congrats on the choice and the good job! -------------------- My lessons

Hi Gabe,
Here's a first draft of the lyrics for the verse of my song, I'm progressing slowly, but it does go somewhere Here it is: https://youtu.be/DcLWQO0dq7s The singing is very sloppy since I just came up with the melody I need some time to practice it. These are the lyrics and the melody notes: What do you think? I'll practice it and come up with a better version soon! Although it might take a little longer, I'm moving to Helsinki for my studies, so I will also be busy settling at my new place |

I love it mate. The melody is wonderful and the words fit really naturally on it. You have something really cool here. Try to get the words for the chorus to then start focusing on vocal interpretation.... this is really promising!
Good luck with the move. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate, congrats on your move.
Don't worry about guitar, it can be refreshing to experiment with it even for the style that you are interested nowadays. Keep me updated. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Lester, I don't really get the problem, could you please go deeper about what you are using regarding hardware and software to create your recordings?

Hi Lester,
I've checked that Tascam, and it's a soundcard that includes midi. You can connect your guitar directly and use it to record it but you can only record vocals with a mic. I think that this video can help you: -------------------- My lessons

Hi Lester, this can be related to your soundcard too. If your PC is relatively new (I3, I5, I7) you should be able to use an amp emulator and videos. I would try using Reaper and maybe Poulin plug ins that are softer than Guitar Rig. I also have issues when using Guitar Pro stand alone and internet videos, so it can be a solution.
Here you can learn more about Poulin: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=52512 Please try it and let me know if it solves the issue. -------------------- My lessons
