Article/Review Ideas

I noticed we've had a slow down of submissions over the past couple weeks, and that's probably due to the hecticity (:P) this time of year. However, since there is a break from school and such coming up, I thought it would be a good time to kick the site into full gear. Now, many-a-time I've thought "Hmmm, I'd really like to write an article for the site, but I have no idea what to write it on!" This is the type of situation that this thread comes in handy. Use it to submit ideas that you think would make good articles but you don't have the expertise nor the patience to write. Then losers like ana and I will put them into action :haha (Just kidding, you better all help out). Of course, if there's an album you'd like to see reviewed for the site, ask here and maybe somebody who owns it will be generous enough to review it for you. Happy Ideaing.

I've had this idea for a while: maybe like a series on different guitar classics that most guitarists learn somewhere down the line. They'd range from the really easy stuff (Smells Like Teen Spirit, Smoke on the Water) to the medium-difficulty stuff (Crazy Train, Metallica, Eruption, Layla) to the harder stuff (Satriani, etc.). Just like a break down of the songs and the best way to play each part in them. Maybe video accompaniment? So, anyone interested in helping out in these? Maybe during the week I'll throw together a Teen Spirit one just to show you what I mean.

edit: It doesn't have to be just guitar, btw.

Ana and I tried that awhile ago but it never materialized. I'll see if I can dig up the old thread.

No, a different one. Ana and I came up with a list of topics, but I think it got deleted :/

Well, I'd really appreciate it if somebody could help me out with the strings thread. I'll probably do acoustic tomorrow, so if anybody wants to do strat or Floyd Rose it'd be really nice.

Also, I've started an Electric Guitar Guide and if anybody wants to help me out with that than it'd be great. I could probably do an extensive guide on Master of Puppets, but it'd take me a while, and I don't have a Webcam so there wouldn't be any video.

You still doing this? If you want to give me a bit more detail I could try and help out a bit.

If anyone else has any article ideas as well, I'd give 'em a shot.

I haven't worked on it months and lost the file where I had everything written down at, so no, I'm not working on it anymore.

Gawd, you newwwwb!!!!1


Anyway, anyone have anything they'd like to learn about or something they'd be interested in reading? I'm trying to hone my writing skills so I figure I might as well put 'em toward something useful.

Is there anything anyone would want me to review? Make a request and I'll take it into consideration, but I can't promise I'll do it. I've been very lazy and tend to do things on a whim rather than on any plan or schedule. xD

Well, I know we don't really have the same taste in music, but if you're familiar with either Probot or The Flaming Lips, I'd be interested in a review of Probot's album or any of The Flaming Lips' albums because I've always been unsure about whether to pick one up or not. But if you're not, don't worry about it.

edit: By the way, the same goes for me. If anyone wants anything I have in my CD collection reviewed, I'd be happy to do it. I have trouble deciding what to review anyway.

I've listened to Probot... but I'm not really feeling like doing a review of it (it's not very good though). I could definitely do a Flaming Lips review or two.

Cool, sounds good. :)

By the way, I'm still looking for article ideas too, so if anyone has anything they'd like to know more about, let me know. I'm currently working on a "Grammar Guide" for songwriting, and more specifically, for Josh. :P

morgan, what do you think about actually putting together a writing tips thing? i know we've talked about this a zillion times, but since we've never actually done it, i think now might be a good moment.

i'm not too sure about how to do it, though. any thoughts?

Yeah, neither am I. It's a good idea though. I wish we had saved that thread where we listed topics to write about. I still have the beginning of the rhyme schemes one lying around somewhere.

Do you want to do like one article with basic writing tips in it, or would you like to do a series on different aspects of writing?

i think it would be cool to do both - like have a basic thing with a few tips for people who either have no idea where to start or just aren't too sure how to improve their skills, and have other articles with more in-depth stuff about rhyme schemes, as you mentioned, or things like writing styles, the steps to follow when writing a piece and such.

Sorry, Ana, I meant to respond earlier.

That sounds good. How would you like to do it? I'm not really good with coming up with writing tips, because I doubt I do it "properly" but anything I can contribute I will. Unfortunately I still have a couple essays I want to finish up for school, and for the micro-story contest too, so that's taking up my time write (haha, get it? :P ) now.
