quote:
I'm writing this new topic because I'd like fellow guitarist to share their methods of composing, what works for you, how and how often does inspiration come, do you record it and/or transcribe it as soon as you figure out what you want to play? Lovely choice of subject, xirdneH, certainly open to intimately subjective sentiments. Inspiration stops my clock, quickens the pulse and brings on a sweet despair which only melody can appease. So I seek melodies. I first allow the whisper of a theme to scheme through my notes. I then deconstruct it only to later rebuild it from a few different perspectives. The elementary framework of introduction, discussion and conclusion still governs the methodology of my essays. I too (as you emphasized) allow my compositions to be ostensibly beyond my means, and learn so much as I try to master my own work. Ultimately, similarly to a sculpture, what will please me is concealed under layers of colder material which I compose and continuously dismiss, until I feel the warmth I sought, the melody which hypnotizes me. I will play it a thousand times, just like a new song I might have fallen in love with. And yet, I will soon betray “her” for another melody which may ascend from the material i nelected and dismiss when finding that love.
