What’s a Melody For?
Original Article From http://measureformeasure.blogs.nytimes.com
By SUZANNE VEGA
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime.
Didn’t you?
People’d call, say “Beware doll,
You’re bound to fall,” you thought they were all
Kidding you.
Remember that song? I’ll bet you do. What’s the melody? Pretty much one note from the beginning to the end of the phrase,...

Overproduced? You Can’t Afford to be Overproduced!
Original Post From http://forum.recordingreview.com/content/overproduced-you-can-t-afford-overproduced-187/
Quite a few bands have a HUGE fear of being over-produced. The idea is some sleazy producer is going to turn their Motorhead-esque sludge into something that could be played at praise and worship featuring Boyz To Men and Mariah Carey.
Watch Def Leppard’s Hysteria Classic Albums. If...

Original Post From http://blog.discmakers.com
How many million guitarists pick up an acoustic guitar and use it to perform, compose, practice, teach, or simply to relax in a single day? But most of us never really stop and think about how the guitar in our hands was actually transformed from a tree into a musical instrument.

“The Gods” – Poem By: Heather Whitley Gibson
Here comes Zeus in his zuit suit
Hercules in all his glory
hot and bothered, looks for Venus
history and poetry
standing at the Mayan temple
watch them sacrifice a child
Egyptians prepare a mummy
watch out the gods are on fire
all chant when the sun shines bright
the gods, the moon, the night
looking at the stars and Mars
watching Aztecs playing ball
voices speak to Persephone...

come away and I’ll hide you
come where they won’t find you
come and leave this behind you
you’ll come
you will come come this way and cross over
come into forever
come and i’ll never leave you
you’ll come
you will come i’m all warm on the other side
no reason to run and hide
no treason badge you humbly wore
that’s all gone and died it’s...

Songwriting Lessons – Selecting Your Chord...
Original Post From http://thesongwritingblog.com
Songwriting uses the chord progression as the setting for the song, kind of like the set and scenery in a play. Just like the actors move and speak and have their being upon the stage, set, and scenery, so do the words and melody dance on that very stage that is created by the progression of chords. If you have a deep understanding of how the...

If you’ve got the money and you want to go that way, that’s okay, but it’s not necessary. Today, your greatest expense is a computer or digital multitracker....
