Songwriting Tip:
Try a different musical instrument for songwriting goodness
I have found that grabbing a different instrument really unleashes some great creativity.
For instance, I have a lap steel tuned to open D. I just grabbed the cheapest lap steel they had over at Musician's Friend and it worked great.
It's great because I just throw the bar across the strings and have different chords. It allows creativity to flow because my hands are in different places than on my guitar. It keeps me just focused on simple chords instead of feeling like I have to come up with some kind of innovative riff on my guitar to impress all the other songwriters when I play out.
Give it a try.
