I would take your audacious claims with a grain of salt. Unconventional progressions don't equate to creative or good song writing. You could be the next Nick Drake or Erik Satie, and I am all for deliberate focused practice, but you have to crawl before you can walk. Limit yourself to three chords and write a song, you might learn something.
- soulofmischief 7y agoAudacious? I never said most of them were good. Most of them were awful. But I followed through till I was finished. I never made any claims as to my abilities, just my personal accomplishments. I didn't mention unconventional progressions. You need to read my post again, because your criticism is unwarranted. > Limit yourself to three chords and write a song, you might learn something. Learn more than three chords and write a song, you just might learn more than the average guitarist. Fundamentals of Piano Practice emphasizes the importance of never getting comfortable, of always pushing yourself during practice. Why settle for mediocrity?
- dsego 7y ago> Most of them were awful. In that case let me rephrase: Limit yourself to three chords and try to write a really good song ;)
- soulofmischief 7y agoNow you're assuming they're all bad songs, and you're also making the ridiculous assumption that every song someone writes is supposed to be good. The whole point of practicing songwriting is to get better at it. Stop being a jerk for a second, stop being aloof, and try to consider that I might actually know what I'm talking about, that I actually might be a decent musician. Your attitude is just toxic and mean.
- dsego 7y agoI did not want to push your buttons. Good luck with your songwriting.
- soulofmischief 7y agoSuch language is an attempt to deflect responsibility from you to me, but I assure you, the problem here is how you approached this conversation.
