Bring Back Transfat!
Or maybe I'm just stuck. I dunno.

I got two songs I'm working that I know what the melody is, but I'm just not comin' up with the chord progession/structure to. :confused:

Aggghhhhh!

And try to come up with a half-ass lead riff.....
I'm going brain dead! :D :eek: :D

Screw it. "Today, we do BASS Guitar!"
Hell with the rest! It'll either fall into place or it won't.
 
Wow...I thought I was the only one......:D

I feel your pain amigo....I have two compositions in the works and am dying a slow death with each of them....
I also have a great melody from someone else where I cannot get a decent lyric started....
Sucks to be creative sometimes...ya know?:D
 
I'ver got one called "You Stayed", and as hard as I try I keep hearin' Rainbow's "Stone Cold".

It's fucked up....cause it's a good song on it's own, but it's gonna wind up sounding like a cover.


I've been trying to "write away" from that song all year, but think I'm just going to play it and see what happens. Maybe nobody else has heard of Rainbow. :eek:
 
That is not so bad of an idea. Write that sucker with the Rainbow tune in mind and hopefully, your own style/voice/accents will make the song suitable original. I've had success with this approach. Due, in part, I'm sure to my own ineptness to cover an original with any sort of exactness in the first place.

my problem can be summed up in four words.

If I can just find the best four one-syllable words to make the first verse cohesive, then I can move on.

What sucks is I'll have a great lyric, then realize how stupid it sounds when sung.. The original word was "bury". Bury sounds like you are trying to sing "Marry" but have a cold.. Also, "Check her pulse" sounds like "Checker pulse", "Feel her pulse" sounds like "Feeler pulse", And "'Check' or 'Feel' for pulse" is too much of a mouthful.

Cy, try "listen {to}{for} her pulse"...I dont know the words so this is just a idea but instead of "bury" how about "cover"..

Hey Grip, you got the melody thats most of the battle..Maybe you just got step away from it ..Dont force it..Have you tried playin the song in a different style just to give you a fresh approch..Then go back to the style that you had originaly that can do wonders for gettin you into a different creative "head"..Let the song show you what it wants to be ..Good luck bud
