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

    RCVN Ish..,.I've two riffs to glue together but I've got to re-install ALL my DAW software n things and re-string the six stringed weapon 🧑‍🏭

      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 😆

                RCVN If you (briefly) write up the experience, I'm sure I'm not the olny one interested - we can use that as a sketch to flesh out the next challenge?

                  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.

                    V8 Exibit B:

                    Write a song in the style of Metallica about bad drumming

                    Verse 1:
                    Can you hear that pounding sound?
                    Like a hammer hitting the ground
                    It's not the beat that we rehearsed
                    This drummer's making our music cursed

                    Chorus:
                    Bad drumming, it's driving us insane
                    Bad drumming, it's a never-ending pain
                    Bad drumming, we can't take it anymore
                    We need to find a new drummer, and even the score

                    Verse 2:
                    Every beat is out of place
                    It's like he's in a different race
                    We try to keep up, but we can't
                    His drumming skills, we simply can't grant

                    Chorus:
                    Bad drumming, it's driving us insane
                    Bad drumming, it's a never-ending pain
                    Bad drumming, we can't take it anymore
                    We need to find a new drummer, and even the score

                    Bridge:
                    We tried to give him some tips
                    But it's like he's playing with his feet in cement bricks
                    He's dragging us down, and it's not fair
                    We need a drummer with some real drumming flair

                    Chorus:
                    Bad drumming, it's driving us insane
                    Bad drumming, it's a never-ending pain
                    Bad drumming, we can't take it anymore
                    We need to find a new drummer, and even the score

                    Outro:
                    So we say goodbye to this bad drumming
                    And we hope to find a new drummer, who's forthcoming
                    We won't let bad drumming bring us down
                    We'll find a new drummer, and we'll rock this town!

                      RCVN That is so good. Fu**ing hell, that's Wierd Al level good!

                      First first one is a little cheesy and more - so something we'll hear on Lar's solo record,

                      But wow, the bad drumming one is damn damn good. I reckon that's worthy of a group GT effort. I'll start collecting riffage 👍

                      V8 To be fair, a lot of Metallica is pure cheese. 😆
