I don't know if this was already suggested by anyone. I tried a search, it didn't really bring anything up.

Anyway, I know besides being bassists, some of us are songwriters as well. I think a forum to kick around and exchange musical and lyrical ideas might be kinda cool. I'm not sure if posts like that might already belong in the 'Misc' forum, but it's just a thought I had. I'm not much of a songwriter, and sometimes I need all the help I can get, and maybe others could too.

definitely! i was thinking about this too- there are a lot of writers out here- whether its music or just poetry- it'd be awesome to have a place where you could get constructive critiscism, tips, and maybe a bit of inspiration!

Great idea! (Plus, I could use the help.)

There's currently a discussion going on regarding a new theory forum... I'm wondering if maybe grouping the two together into a "Music Theory and Songwriting" forum would be good? Thoughts?

I was about to suggest this not too long ago. It's a favorite of mine to tool around on TabIt (Don't punch me in the face, I know I need to get away from tabs, but its easier for right now than Finale.) and post songs. The TabIT forums have a place for this, but it's a bit, how do you say, FiElDy!!!-ish. :)

This idea has my thumbs up.

Sounds kosher to me.

Sounds good to me!

Since there isn't a forum for theory discussions, this should unclutter some of the other forums. Although the combination, IMO, is not an exact fit, it probably will work well nevertheless.

A songwriting forum would be my first pick for a new forum. I'd like it mixed with the theory as they can go hand in hand.

Maybe change the General Instruction forum to include songwritting, theory, and other newbie instructions? You'd probably need a catchier title than "Songwritting, Theory, and other Newbie Instructions" though...

I don't think retitling general instruction would work...

Sounds good, but Theory and songwriting dont have much in common, so if you go in there for, say information on scales, you could get flodded with threads with people wanting you to critique their latest song. Thats just me though :D

Yeah i am not sure about merging the two, although it seems practical. the members here respect each other. I think it might work.

:D:D

But we do have the odd conflict.

Paul, What will talkbass loose (eg web hosting space) if we make them 2 seperate forums?

I think two seperate forums would be better. If not, songwriting and theory in one would be great!
