The WORST song ever written (Patreon)
Content
What's the worst song ever written? Maybe something by the Shaggs, Nickelback, or Creed? The truth is, I wrote what could be the most awful cut in history back in the late 1990's. This song was so bad, it led to getting kicked out of my band and my parents wanting to return my guitar. Get the full story below muhahaha!
⭐️ I just launched the final installment of TOP 3 EXOTIC SCALES last week. This installment is on the Japanese Hirajoshi scale. Marty Friedman of Megadeth uses these magical notes to great effect. Now is the perfect time to check it out because I'm dropping the full course this Friday the 29th at 4 am PST!
🎸HOW IT HAPPENED
I had been playing guitar for about 12 months at age 15 when I decided it was time to write my own song. I just joined a band and we needed original material to set us apart from other groups in the scene. So I grabbed my mother's nylon string guitar, a tape recorder and stared at the wall for inspiration. Now what? I thought to myself. I figured a riff was the next step. So I began pummeling my low E string, adding random power chords and spine curling melodies in all the wrong keys. Little did I know, this was the start of something truly horrible....
⚡️I'M THE GREATEST SONGWRITER TO EVER LIVE
After torturing my mother's guitar for about 45 minutes, I decided my work of art was complete. In my mind, I had given birth to a track that could break my band to the world. The response I got from my parents should have been the first clue I sucked. "Hmmmm, maybe this guitar thing wasn't such a good idea after all", they said. I brushed off their critique, and figured they were just old and didn't get it. My bandmates would recognize my brilliance!
I couldn't wait to unveil my monster to the boys at band practice on Sunday. At rehearsal, I plugged in, cranked my amp to 11 and began spanking my axe into submission. With every hideous chord, I became more dedicated, digging myself into deeper hole. The babes are gonna be so impressed at our first show, I thought to myself! After my infernal racket ceased. I didn't get the ovation I expected. The lead singer finally broke an awkward 69 seconds of silence, "Needs some work bro." "I mean, what key are you in?", the bassist asked. After hearing everyone's criticism, I was crushed. I felt like setting my axe on fire and moving to mars for 666 years
⚡️WHY MY SONG SUCKED
There were about 420 problems with my track. For one, I had no clue what a verse or chorus was, let alone a bridge. I basically just strung some random ideas together that weren't related. It had no feel, melodic line, or logical chord progression. Stay tuned for Friday's release of the FULL EXOTIC SCALES COURSE! This is an epic journey through songwriting, licks, chords, riffs, how to practice, my secret droning technique and even how to get inspired with my PMS method! It's a quantum leap forward that will change your life. Check out part one below!
