I love getting into the songwriting groove, it feels great plowing through new ideas. Hard to believe I am about half-way through writing the album coming out NEXT MAY, but I with the aggressive schedule I have set for myself for the next few releases, I want to get as far ahead as I can.
There are a couple of truisms I stick to when writing:
The first is to WRITE ALL THE TIME. Anyone who does any kind of wriing for a living will tell you that the best thing you can do is capture every idea for later ise.
The second is NOTHING IS PRECIOUS. That means about 50% of all ideas never get used. On the other side, waiting for the perfect situation or riff is also a waste of time. Just keep writing and get your stuff out there. Time waits for no man.![Smilie](https://forum.seymourduncan.com/core/images/smilies/smile.gif)
All that being said, this riff holds promise. It definitely fits in with the darker tone for the album and is also guitar-centric, like the other songs. Since the first 20-minute song features very little guitar and a MOUNTAIN of synths, I am both subconsciously and consciously going in the other direction; a bit of a palette-cleanse, I think.![Smilie](https://forum.seymourduncan.com/core/images/smilies/smile.gif)
