Paul I think I'm going to have to use "internal rhyming" for an assignment one of these days - you have been warned!!!

I've managed to pull that particular trick off exactly ONCE in the six years I've been frequenting the SSG.....

:D :D :D

The mp3 really brought this to life for me.. and I adore the internal rhymes (or whatever they're called), e.g. the talking-walking, walls-tall and morning-yawning :D

Really easy listening, chilled mood, and yeh, perfect for a cafe gig heh.

Perhaps doing something with longer verses was a good move, keep it up.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group jaythejoker https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg8-week20-cafa-culture/#post-349665 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg8-week20-cafa-culture/#post-349649 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:39:34 +0000 Im pretty happy with the way this one turned out, yes I think that the bass groove adds something nice. I guess I have dhodge to thank for that, in as much as without his book I would never have bought a bass in the first place. After I won a copy of his book I thought I had better go and buy a bass so I could put the book to some use :D .
This was an interesting assignment as one of the reasons that I havent been writing is that Im wanting to do something different with my songs, now all I have to do is see what I can learn from this. Fits the mood for an open mic cafe gig Hmmm interesting comment, most of my musical outlet at the moment is open mics, so thats always in the back of my mind

cheers

Regarding EACGBE tuning, I used it recently on the song "Split".]]> Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg8-week20-cafa-culture/#post-349499 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg8-week20-cafa-culture/#post-349489 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:31:49 +0000
EACGBE sounds like an interesting idea, I've never tried that tuning. I've tried DADGAD on a couple of
occasions, The Drum and If I Had Time are both DADGAD.

As for insights, hmmm I think timing is pretty important when singing a song like this, I think I got it right a couple of times in there. Actually the thing that I'm most pleased about with this song is the bass line. There's a real temptation with a song that's got a faster tempo to play a bass line that follows the strum but I managed to resist and follow the chord changes only, at least in the verses anyway.

Thanks for the comments.
