It's interesting, some days I write a great song in 20 minutes, other times I spend a few days trying to song, which usually turns out to be worse. It's really important to have inspiration, when you have to spend time desperately trying to think of a subject, it won't work.

I'm a bit of a noob at this, but how exactly do you use, for instance, a distortion pedal? When you switch the pedal off, will it automatically go back to the clean setting?

Thanks. The only problem is, I find it really hard to write words before music. I usually come up with some chords and then put words to that.

I didn't know that about the bass solo! It's such a good sound. Has anyone seen the video for call me al? So funny smile Here's a link:

Try Folk! It's much better:)

Check out this video of my band, Order of the Planets, playing live at a Battle of the Bands a couple of months ago.

Actually I'm not sure you can do that with a bass! I think that solo was completely edited to make it sound like that!
