Btw, can you give me a concept/demo for a lyricless song? I wanna see if you guys can compose for Scratch Adventure. 

Sure, I'm sure I could play around with my synth and get something, and the rest of the guys would help. What exactly is the sound you want?

Well, the first level is a beach/valley/forest mix, so... see what you can come up with.

Sorry guys, I've tried everything. Scratch won't upload it, nor will Dropbox or Mediafire. There might be a longer delay than I thought there would be for the demo. Might have to wait until the weekend. Until then, I'll just post the chords for the song while I work out uploading the demo:

It sounds cool. Maybe we could make it a grunge-ish track?

This is moving pretty quickly, but what tracks do we have so far? (also all4one, you have yet to give me your skype/gmail chat details).

1. Procrastination
2. I lost my Pick
3. Policy Concept

(random order)

So we have 3 original tracks already, we should go ahead with an album. We can discuss doing some covers over skype or gmail chat.

I can't get started at all. I may have subjects to write on but I can't put a song-a good one- to them to save my life.
I'm really sorry, i just don't know how to get started.  .
Not much of a songwriter am I   
I can't seem to write a song that isn't extremely insulting for some reason. I tried three times but I couldn't make it tame or not dirty. Nothing that I could post here anyway.
If I come up with backings, someone else could fit lyrics I suppose, but don't trust me with lyrics for all our sakes.

I'll make some patterns. Pwetty wons! Okay, seriously though, I'll make patterns and you guys can lyric me. After yet another failed attempt, ending in something that would insult anyone who just happens to be a human being, I have come to the conclusion that poetry skills may be useful, but when combined with a pessimistic sense of political awareness, you just end up with 'the swear words song' and you don't want to know what else.

Just to let you know I traded my acoustic for a Dot electric, so yea 

My dad has started making a guitar as a hobby. He wants it to be a marbled metallic turquoise, but apparently you don't get paint like that.   
whatever.
Patterns. Backings. Cool. Right.
I'll get on it!

@jji10 - Hmm, do you happen to play electric guitar?

No

Don't have one either. Can't jji7skyline play electric guitar?

I'm getting some Awesome tones from the pickups and the unplugged doesn't sound half bad either 

What should we record first?

wow, I've always wanted a semi-hollow, how does it feel?

I'm getting a pattern, it may not be the right genre entirely, just an interesting twist, but hopefully not a big enough one to make it rubbish.
I'll get it into a good format and give it some structure. You might want to add guitar parts and probably synth. But I'll finish it first and get it onto scratch.

I've never actually owned or played a plugged solidbody, but compared with steel string acoustics, it's much easier to play (not only low action, something else as well), awesome sustain, and really really easy bending. I can get like 5 semitones of bend with the effort it would take to do 2 frets on acoustic. Pickups are really versatile, warm tones, I can go from jazzy/bluesy tones to hard rock crunches 

Heavy though.

Ive uploaded a Project full of three patternmusic bases. Find out why there are three by reading the project notes. Technically there are actually five, anyway, it's my latest project. The project notes are very very long. But hey are probably worth reading.
