Anyone make music?

[Mattskibop]

I play guitar and have been writing a few songs, aided by a little weed, and would like to know if there are any others(musicians) here at icmag.
Have been a little uninspired as of late, so am in search of some fresh inspiration. Hard to stay motivated at something that some might say is unnecessary, much like growing/consuming weed.

I do

Was just working on a recording earlier in fact.

I play guitar mainly but also bass, drums and a tiny bit of keyboard.

Now, as for creativity I've got something that may help:

I can't get the link to work?

I see. Perhaps I embedded it incorrectly.

Hah... Yea gotta love the standard chord progressions

 

[Shadimar]

I used to try to avoid anything I'd heard before, but there are only 11 notes and only so many progressions.

So it turns out I've got one song inspired by this tune and another inspired by their keyboardist.

Yeah the funny thing is that we are influenced so much by the music we listen to. Even when I try to be original I do similar things to tunes I've heard before without even knowing it.
