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

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.

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.

Anyone vote for a deadline extension Part Deux?

Deadline extended to 26th March!

V8 Thank you.

Sorry guys, I am having a hard time at work and home.

RodneyVikens You are not alone! ️
