Oh cool. I'm pretty keen to get back on the wagon, but end of Jan was looking a little close.

Yeti I got a scare myself

Goodness, I have not played in such a long time. Hallo

Actually I am lying! I did play not so long ago doing a review for my inverter.

You will find it at around 4:23

I win!

RodneyVikens NO, not really.

But...you can still enter, plenty of time and it would seem you're load shedding proof, so no excuses

V8 I hate my acoustic so much, don't have anything positive to sing about it..... I guess that is fine right?

RodneyVikens Absolutely! Bonus points for funnies ️

I'm torn on what to attempt. Has anyone made any decent progress?

RCVN I got as far as writing lyrics but haven't found a gap to do anything meaningful otherwise

V8 That reminds me.. I also wanna try and get my guitar serviced before the garage days.

That's a bit of a ball ache. What happened to your pc?

V8 Don't move anything for me specifically.

I have a really bad track record for getting submissions in.
But I do have an idea for a future challenge.

Chat.gpt song challenge.

Get Chat.gpt to write lyrics and then add chords/guitar parts over it.

V8 I definitely wont have something finished end of this month

Ahh, let's go for another two weeks - you heard it here first

12th March sounds good to me - happy to move it again!

RCVN Get Chat.gpt to write lyrics and then add chords/guitar parts over it.

I like it - though Chat.GPT may need some guidelines "Write me a song" might be a bit of minefield Actually, that might also be hysterical, research is needed!

V8 I've done a test run to write a song in the style of an artist and it came out pretty good.
But yeah, it can get messy

V8 Well exhibit A:

So I told it to: "write a song in the style of Metallica"

Now channel your inner Hetfield. In my head I'm hearing something resembling the verses of Master of Puppets throughout.

Verse 1:
Trapped inside my mind, with demons all around
Every step I take, they try to drag me down
The weight of my past, it's crushing me inside
But I won't let it win, I won't be denied

Chorus:
Ride the lightning, let the thunder roar
I won't be defeated, I won't be ignored
With the power of metal, I'll break these chains
And rise up stronger, in the face of pain

Verse 2:
The road ahead is long, and the journey is tough
But I'll keep on fighting, I won't give up
The fire in my soul, burns brighter every day
And nothing can stop me, I'll find a way

Chorus:
Ride the lightning, let the thunder roar
I won't be defeated, I won't be ignored
With the power of metal, I'll break these chains
And rise up stronger, in the face of pain

Bridge:
The darkness surrounds me, but I won't be afraid
I'll face my fears head on, and I'll make them pay
I'll conquer my demons, and I'll stand tall
With the power of metal, I'll never fall

Chorus:
Ride the lightning, let the thunder roar
I won't be defeated, I won't be ignored
With the power of metal, I'll break these chains
And rise up stronger, in the face of pain

Outro:
With the power of metal, I'll never surrender
I'll keep on fighting, until the bitter end
Ride the lightning, let the thunder roar
Metallica forever, forever more.
