Songwriting First Steps - ideas and backing into a song (part 1)

Songwriting First Steps - ideas and backing into a song (part 1)

Another songwriting tutorial - dealing with ideas (their source and how I capture them)

I realized that I left off the "tool" I use most often for capturing ideas now - a digital recorder. Much safer when driving than a pad of paper.

Been playing a lot and collaborating offline (well, online but off Kompoz) for the past month. Might put one of those projects up here soon.
