http://www.guitargnosis.comI give you a few different tips on how to get new ideas for your songs.

http://www.guitargnosis.comThings have changed drastically over the years, and things have gotten much easier in present time. Back in the day, recording your musical ideas consisted of putting them   more...to tape (literally). In present time, it's a bit more 'fancy'.In this video I'll give you a few tips on how to store your musical ideas, whether they be riffs, melodies, chord progressions, full-blown compositions or even just textual ideas. I show you what I've done personally and what works best for me, though there's really no right way to go about this. Whichever way benefits you most is the way to go.Saving these things is EXTREMELY important and I wholeheartedly recommend to begin doing this NOW if you're not already. We've all had those times when we've written something and wished that we would have recorded it in time to remember it for future use. By employing these few little techniques, your life will be a bit easier on the composing side.  less

http://www.guitargnosis.comJust imagine in 5 years time what you'll end up with if you begin to employ the tips I'm giving you. Looking back on 5 years worth of little bits and pieces of ideas can seriously   more...make you end up with a neat little treasure chest full of multiple holy grails of musical ideas.Songwriting doesn't have to be sitting around at your studio desk 'working'. It can be as easy as sitting around your house watching TV and coming up with an idea out of nowhere, then transcribing it and saving it for later use. You'll be surprised at what you came up with once you look back on all of it.By applying this, you'll see that it's gluing together musical confetti and taking these tiny bits and pieces and throwing them into a blender to ultimately produce a concoction of music that your heart and soul desires. Need I put it in any other way!?  less

Piano Chord Progressions: Tri-Tone Chord SubstitutionThe mysterious "tri-tone substitution" has puzzled musicians down through the years. I used it for 20 years without knowing the name of it   more...-- I called it "half-step slides from above". It adds interest to your piano playing and chord progressions by substitution the chord that is a tri-tone away from the root of the V7 chord.  less
