This isn't something I wrote. I was just having a little fun with my Telecaster, playing a simple 12-bar blues to an online backing track. The sound quality is not the best but I hope you like it.

This is an original song called "Free To Be" that I did at my youth...

I recently purchased this Paul Baloche songwriting instructional DVD. It's a very well done DVD and is only 30 bucks. My song-writing has stepped up, although my time allotment dedicated to writing has not gone up. Paul speaks mostly of the inspirational moments to write songs, then give lots of techniques and glimpses into what he does to write.

Then he brings in fellow songwriters who also give hints into different ways to write.

This DVD is for the songwriter who wishes to write worship songs, but I think could be adapted to anyone who is writing more of a performance-oriented music.

I highly recommend this DVD. It has helped me a lot, especially with lyrics, which has always been my weakness in writing.

Thank you, Jessica. I actually messed up the words a little bit because I was so nervous. It's an easy song to play with lots of open-sounding chords. My chord structure for the song is based upon the way Paul Baloche likes to play. I would love to see some other people have some interest in this song and play it at their churches. Just let me know.

I'm so excited that there's a songwriting group on here! I'm young and have only been writing songs for a few years, but I feel called to it and am looking forward to what God does with them. :) Hope to see some of yall's ideas and everything.

I write poetry all the time. I have tried to incorperate it as to writing songs. I however do not really have an ear for music. I can sing... but for me to try to sing what I write is like a dog trying to meow... Is it possible to take a poem and make it into lyrics and stansa's (not sure what I'm saying) and make a bridge etc...? PR

Hi Everyone, This is a link to my wife, Shelly carver's myspace artist page. We just uploaded some of her songs and I would like to invite you to give them a listen. Keep in mind this is just a rough demo made in our office but she has a great acoustic sound and powerful song writing. Hope you enjoy and feel free to link this page on other networking sites to share with everyone. Thanks! P.S. I would like to hear your music to if you have a link to follow. http://www.myspace.com/574941024

David - I use a program called "Band in a Box" - a bit clunky with the interface, but the sounds are fantastic since they introduced "real tracks" a few years back. You type in the chords, tempo and key sig, then choose from one of 100's of styles and it generates the music. Does help if you have some music theory knowledge or have played an instrument. www.pgmusic.com

Already have that program.  Just haven't taken the time to use it much.  Might have to in case I wanna send a song to a friend with any musical talent.  Be interesting to see what pops up.
