Tossing this one out there for ya's.
I'm talking more about actual song structure than the arrangements of the instruments themselves (often used interchangeably).
My problem:
I'll normally have 2-3 riffs that go well together, but once I get to a certain point I often find myself sitting on a half finished track for awhile. Sometimes I may even have an intro-Verse-Chorus as well as a later section, but unsure how to get from point D-G if you know what I mean.
My other problem is when I bring this to the band...no one really cares or is able to help out with it. Some times the do of course, but often were left trying out the same 1:30 of a new tune over and over with no real progress. I realize not everything can come together right away, but still...were talking weeks.
Anyone got any tips on how to overcome this?
EDIT: Bonus question. Any common moves for different sections of a song starting on something other than the root? Sometimes I struggle with this as well. Of course playing around usually yields something different, but wondering if there's any more common moves as a starting point.
