Some good stuff going on here - definitely hearing the Velvet Underground style Vic mentioned. Few lines seem clumsy both in their rhyme and length but that will probably change as you keep working on thepiece. Definitely a good start.

Look forward to hearing more

Bob :wink: Like thoughts and lost? oughts and lost kinda rhymes, so I tried to pronounce "thoughts" in that kinda way.

Thanks Bob. :)]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Kevin72790 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-18-floating-boat/#post-233413 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-18-floating-boat/#post-233404 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 16:02:54 +0000

Vic Of course, that is what is so great about this board.

Other boards people would likely just say-

"LOLZ THIS SUCKZ!!!!!!"

"LOL GIVE UP"

Or something.

Thanks man.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Kevin72790 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-18-floating-boat/#post-233110 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-18-floating-boat/#post-233090 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 02:11:59 +0000

And thanks a lot Paul.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Kevin72790 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-18-floating-boat/#post-233087 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-18-floating-boat/#post-233065 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 00:36:07 +0000
Kevin - just remember, Jimi didn't use a wah-wah on EVERY song....it's no bad thing having one of the greatest guitarists ever as your role model, but don't forget to put some KEVIN in there as well....there was a guy back in the 70's called Robin Trower, played lead and sang - his backing band comprised a bass player and a drummer. Although he was a fine guitarist, and made some good albums, he was labelled as nothing more than a Hendrix copyist by the music press and sales probably suffered as a result....looking back on hs music from a distance of 30 years, yes you can see and hear the Hendrix influence - lots of wah-wah, the same kind of lazy delivery, but he did write all his own songs....and as far as I know, didn't do Hendrix covers....

What I'm saying is, it's ok to be influenced by your heroes, but don't write everything with Jimi in mind - be yourself!!!!

Still a good song though....

:D :D :D

I think you're on to something here well done.

If this is how you sound when you're still "not good enough to get the feeling over you want" (to paraphrase) I look forward to hearing your songs when you're further along the road! Thanks again. I see what you mean by the metaphors not being needed in the song here.
You may want to come back and re-do this in the future, when you've improved - I'd keep this pretty much as it is. I like the languid delivery, and the sparse backing - well, I don't think adding anything else to it would improve it much! Some songs are meant to be left the way they were born....

Keeping my eye on you - definitely one for the future!!!

:D :D :D

Vic Thanks again Vic. And yea, I do plan on coming back to this once I get a wah-wah pedal and more time to mix some tracks together, maybe a better mic to.

Appreciate it.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Kevin72790 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-18-floating-boat/#post-232934
