The oposite of writer's block is..... RED LIGHT FEVER!!!
You may notice that Ive been a little quiet lately, some may think its a good thing, but its driving me nuts. Its worse than writers block because I have 4 ideas to work on but just cannot play them when I hit that record button. Before I start recording, its fine but as soon as I do I just cant seem to play it right. Anyone else ever experienced this??? Got any tricks for getting rid of it?? Lewis | |

The most difficult thing is having excellent song ideas but not being able 2 write them down or record them cuz u cannot write music and have pages of song lyrics instead.
How easy is it 2 write and read music? | |

Lewis I get taht way with guitar solos. I'm a jazzer naturally so having to come up with a decent 8 bar rock solo I get all sloppy and shite without having a few bars 2 work in2 it. What point are you at? Are you just demoing the songs, just piecing the tunes themselves together, or are you in the process of making a more final version? I would say taht if you're piecing things together or demoing, don't worry if it's a little sloppy. That's the whole point of a demo anyway. | |

How easy is it 2 write and read music? as easy as it is to read & write english My ass! Okay I can read Drum music and Piano/Guitar charts but I have 2 part company with U on the simplicity of the concept! I'm feelin' U on the writers block right now. U were in Italy for awhile, didn't ya soak up any music culture? maybe U could incorporate stuff U've heard in2 some new projects (said the man who really should be listening 2 himself!!!) 'dre Tried many flavours - but sooner or later, always go back to the Purple Kool-aid!

'dre I guess I learned it all backwards. I could read & write music before I could read & write english. True theres difficulties but its just another language at the end of the day. Not a lot of music in italy when I was there. We found the closed music shop on the last day & thats as close to an instrument I got for the two weeks . In fact come to think of it, maybe thats it! Im just a little rusty | |

Understand the language, understand the music I dunno about that - there's theory - you'd have to learn some theory to write out the music you hear in your head, so it's not just a matter of learning to read & write the language, you'd have to learn it - understand it - as well. Might be easier to get a 4 track and hum your ideas, then add your lyrics to that. The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

Whether you say wear or where changes the meaning of the word. Its a commonly used teaching tool to compare music theory to the english language. | |
