where you rest your thumb on the fretboard's thingy near the body and almost dance your fingers across the board on an angle
but just using a pick to get that clear sound is better imo and a lot easier |

hi john this is what ive made so far with that stupid line that came to me one day
i need to start remembering to add choruses to these things
In the middle of the day In a special sort of way On the very crowded street The meeting of our gametes
The bond between empowers Too good, you were so dour Mine swims around in joy No longer but a hoi polloi
Snuggles right up into you Suffers lot from contrecoup But you were soft, so sweet YOur shell could so be beat |

and learn why don't we do it in the road on guitar and vocals at the same time, so easy ! |

"have you thought of a hook"
not yet
i like to write the lyrics first and then try to suss out the music but i've never really got far in that regard...

i like to do it the exact opposite, try to make all the catchy riffs and base of the song then write it |

perfect lengths for riffs |

playing it along with the lyrics, it sounds pretty good

yeah if you're going for a short riff i'd recommend making it almost like a story-telling song like one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
because i'm saying that i'd get sick of it if you tried to base a complex song around it |
