http://www.howtowriteasong.net<br /><br />Learn how to write awesome songs! Learn all about how to make your songs instantly memorable, how to write song after song without running out of   more...ideas, how to use chords, riffs, lyrics, song structures and much more!  less

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

http://www.synthgnosis.comWell, what is it then? - READ! I'm talking books, and manuals!You'd be surprised at just how much you can improve yourself as a musician by doing one simple thing: studying.   more...For example, let's take a guitarist and a synthesizer player. What do they do?.... play guitar and synthesizer. Ok, but what am I trying to say here?What I'm trying to say is that there is a LOT more to being a musician than you think. A lot of it is studying the way audio is recorded, mixed, mastered, etc. Of course we all have downtime and we're not playing our instruments all day long, but during the time we're not, you'd be surprised at how fast you can progress as a musician by just reading, which doesn't even require an instrument in your hands.As a final note, please don't be discouraged by anyone. Where they fail, you can cash in. The chances are that if you even so much as read just a SINGLE book on any audial subject, you'll probably know more than 85% of the musicians out there that are into the same thing.Studying is just as important as practicing.  less

couple of clips here.. one on McCartney's covering Beatle songs, one on songwriting with John and an awesome clip of a cutie pie Sean Lennon talking about his dad.

A tune i wrote during the last few days.
Lyrics:
I'd like to sail the biggest sea
I'd like to see what you have seen
but it's running out
I'd like to know what's there for me
I'd like to feel just what is real
  more...but it's running out
I'd like to find a place for me
where no one else has ever been
but it's running out
I'd like to stay and feel the breeze
I'd like to be the one you meet
but it's running out

Chorus:
Running out of time
is what it's all about
but it's never too late
to go there and start a fight against
the weight of the world
that is keeping me down
but starting from today
I ain't gonna waste more time

I wanna write a million songs
about what happened all along
but it's running out
I wanna live the life i want
I wanna tell you "please don't go"
but it's running out

Chorus

Chorus  less

My heavy metal magnum opus :D

Using a pick on bass isn't what I usually do, but it was the best sound for this song. It's not all picked bass though. There's some finger playing later in the song.
