Deacon,

I am a coordinator with an international songwriter's association based in Nashville (as a volunteer) and their suggestions for being a better songwriter boil down to 5 basics:

1.) Collaboration

2.) Collaboration

3) Collaboration

4.) Collaboration

5.) Collaboration

In that vein, I am collaborating with about 30 people now all the time and am happy to do so here. It takes me about 10 minutes to write a lyric when I hear a tune. I am doing guitar work for some people, mixing for others, vocals for others, pure songwriting and arrangement for others, and so forth in nearly every genre.

If you want to ping me with a PM we can share emails and maybe I can stay on track to help out whenever and wherever help is needed, if you want to volunteer as a ringmaster of BIAB forum collabs.

I think you would a lot of fun doing that--kind of being master producer and keeping track of projects and matching people up and so forth.

There are a lot of great players here on this forum and there is no reason why we can play a track or two here and there for our buddies--or co-write more songs.

There is SO MUCH info on the forum these days it is hard for me to follow all of it, but as I say, if we can get hooked up by email on a PM I would be happy to play or sing, or arrange on anything as time permits if the "fit" is right.

Great idea. I encourage you to keep it going and be the ringleader.

It could help a lot of people.

Leverage the talent here man.

It would be one helluva hobby and who knows where it could lead.

Seriously.

Count me in.
