Maybe I'm a bit out of line here BUT......I like TV yes I watch that box that sits in the corner and not just the News and Weather but Oh God.......Yes I'm going to say it Soaps and no I'm not to proud to admit it.
I still make my own music as you know and have other hobbies.
It's not an either or for me but an also.
Each to there own.

Stickers on Guitars (Sorry UYK Adhesive labels I should know I sometimes have to print the blasted things)
are like go faster stripes on your basic Ford nice to look at but they don't make it go any faster.
or in guitar's case (no pun) sound better..... or worse unless you plaster them everywhere.

Lena nice to see you have new song up.
Will we hear this one?
Like the reference to the old  film "The Vikings" 
"Like Odens voice upon the wind
You have turned the tide"
The mystery man isn't a young Tony Curtis" is he.
Well done

Here's something I tried for a while with a capo. Put the capo on the second fret then tuned all the strings down so they were tuned as if they were still being played open.
It was certainly easier to play all those nasty barre chords and speeded up my finger picking.
But ultimately it felt like I was cheating so it was abit of a pointless exercise.
Just 1 of the 101 things you can do with a capo.

My advice to you is fairly simple get some songs you like with easy chord progressions and that you really would like to learn to play.
Then practice. Your gotta like what you do with a guitar and it aint no computer.

All of the above advice is excellent.
Here's my bit.
I think the key (not a pun) to most sucessful songwriting is to keep things simple at first. Using your basic chords.
The chord  progression? which you have in mind is not the simplest so they really don't help in fitting a melody around them.
Maybe you have some melody in mind for these so the advice for getting some lyrics down is good.
I suppose all I'm trying to get across is don't try to run before you can walk and keep it simple at first.
Good luck

Go away for a few hours and Russ starts an old peoples revolution wrestles with Quicktime and myspace  and becomes a virgin.
What next Russ "Audacity"
Ark

Well I use an old four track recorder as an interface plugging the guitar, mircophone and keyboard into it. Then I connect the four track directly into the computer audio in on the sound card.
I don't use the four track to record the tracks as Audacity records the input from the four track onto one track. Then I play the recorded track while recording another track. The most tracks I have recorded this way is three but I don't think theres a limit to the number of tracks you can record this way.
It's made the old 4track tape recorder redundant.

Hope this explains somewhat

PS

Hi russ will have listen to your new song an email you later

Ah I now see....................
How such a jolly old Bollixy song would work looking back on dem oldie dollie posts.

"I only ever heard your expression from English People, friends or holiday makers!
We do use that word here in different ways! A term of endearment?
"Ah your an awful B####x" can mean i like you! or i think your funny!
That yoke is B####x? means its broke or not working!
Your only a B####x? Means "your not a very nice person!
I will-n-me B####x? means "Im not doing that!
Ask me B####x, "speaks for its self!"

I retract my old Bollixy post I am all Humbley.
