The composer is offering his, as yet, unpublished material - it has to be recorded as a demo for it to be considered, but that does not make a published recording a cover.]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/offering-a-song-to-an-artist/#post-167288 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/offering-a-song-to-an-artist/#post-167286 Tue, 21 Mar 2006 11:37:37 +0000 I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone covering a fans music before, but there's no harm in giving it a shot.]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club Saber https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/offering-a-song-to-an-artist/#post-167286 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/offering-a-song-to-an-artist/#post-166318 Fri, 17 Mar 2006 11:13:40 +0000 Whatever route you choose, make sure that the work is properly copyrighted - do not use the "poor man's" copyright. If you are of the opinion that your song could be a million seller, the few pounds for an authorised copyright is money in the bank.]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/offering-a-song-to-an-artist/#post-166318 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/offering-a-song-to-an-artist/#post-166207 Fri, 17 Mar 2006 01:04:51 +0000

does the same apply in the UK? any remote chance of getting a song through to an artist directly? I'm talking about chart-topping, million-selling artists here.]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club martin-6 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/offering-a-song-to-an-artist/#post-166207 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/offering-a-song-to-an-artist/#post-16307 Fri, 17 Mar 2006 00:55:56 +0000
This would be like Joe Nobody writing a screenplay and sending it to Steven Spielberg, but in the film world there are proper channels you can go through to get your stuff read by people who matter. Is there any system in music?

And most importanntly, has anyone here ever done or attempted to do this (and please do let us know which song you wrote!)]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club martin-6 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/offering-a-song-to-an-artist/#post-16307
