Rharv (and all).

re Showcase.

i just meant there are so many great artists on the showcase.
(heres an example of me pushing myself and i credit rb and pg content as well as the talent on pg site/showcase for makeing me always strive to improve my songwriting.)

one day i'm sat down with rb and thinking to myself...
'its time for me to do a song outside my crazee rock comfort zone'.
ie 'a completely different genre.'
at the same time by happenstance i was cheesed off seeing a program on tv in the usa about the plight of some usa farmers loseing their farms.

so i thought 'a country song perhaps ?'
then i thought 'but this had better be darn good as there are sooo many great country artists out there includeing on the pg showcase'.
so i'm noodling around in rb and came across the bluegrass genre.

lol...i'm thinking to myself 'no blinkin way a hard core rocker lad from east london can pull off a country bluegrass song'.
'my rocker mates in east london down the pub would think i'd gone off my rocker'.

but as i like a challenge i persevered and thus the 'Banker Man' bluegrass song in my scloud sig came about. a ton of work frankly and much to my amazement from comments ive had it seems people actually like it.

bottom line is knowing there are tons of great country artists in the world and on the pg showcase...it pushed me to go outside my comfort zone and challenge myself big time.
i never thought in a zillion years i could do a bluegrass song.

i often challenge myself this way. for example ive been working on a jazz song recently to broaden my songwriting.
as your into rb...i love to use rb for 'noodling around' with the rt session musicians till i get a song idea. plus i got a ton of tracks in rb i can useto develope a song idea.

(why i like rb is it used to cost songwriters loads of bucks to rent studio time and hire pro session musicians by comparison...but now people dont have to do that and a songwriter can relax and develope song ideas useing the pg session muso content and rb....skys the limit plus ive got way more tracks than we used to have with 24 track studio mtr's.
i mean 256 tracks in rb 2025....holy moly Batman. )

take care and happiness.
