I know a few of you here from another online board and though I am not great at it I am learning to play guitar because someone on this board asked like Kevin did...Why don't you learn guitar? So I borrowed an cheap electric and relearned G,C,and D...then I got my original Lyle Hummingbird back from my daughter that I tried to learn to play looong ago and just started to add my rudimentry chord progressions to words I had written. That was 1 year ago.Thing is we should stick mostly what we are best at but I'm not great at either. Thats ok. I just got back from listening to a friend play at a coffee house and I know and can play just about every chord he played tonight and with some more time in I will get better. It has helped in one way for writing at this point. I get a melody for my words much quicker and cheaper than a demo service. Is it as quality? Nope. Is it fun? Yep.Is it hard? Very yep.

I can't help but agree with Kevin that I think it would help writers get better...Heck look at all the 3 chord songs there are that are hits and fun to listen to. The only difference between those and mine are in the delivery. Since my lyrics aren't that great any of you good writers out there would really benefit from banging out even 3 chords added to your writing.
