Our Next Song Circle 3/13/2017
Last Month
We met at Flagstaff Federated Church.
We had 5 songwriters in attendance. It was a great evening. We established rules, drank tea, shared songs, gave feedback, discussed song writing philosophy, and explored some techniques for modulating.
Assignment
Part of our format I wanted to encourage was writing assignments. The parameters are loose so that you can take some license. They are a means of making you explore something new. As songwriters it is important we are always writing to hone our craft. Not everything has to be gold!
Use the following chords
Progression: I- vi- iv- V(7)
You are welcome to put this in different keys to suit your voice/style. Have fun and use the rules to guide you!
In C
C-am-fm-G7 or C-am-Fmaj- G7
In G
G -em- cm-- D7 or G-em-Cmaj- G7
Titles you can use
-These Highway Lights
-Not in Nashville
I encourage you all to give it a go!
