Need to ask a question about songwriting? Are you having trouble with your songwriting and need to ask questions? Here’s your forum for questions and answers by songwriters about songwriting. I will post them on Great SongWriting.com. No cost and its simple to do.

This gives all visitors to the Great SongWriting the chance to read about problems other songwriters are experiencing and find answers or even help to provide answers. It’s a problem solving forum.

Any answers I suggest are only the way I see of doing things. This is also true for anyone else who might provide answers. There are many opinions and points of view so please place all answers in that context.

They are just opinions so in the end, it’s up to you to decide what to do with the information that’s provided.

For this to work I need you to help me by answering what gets asked. This is an open web page for all of us. Here’s your chance to ask or answer a question. It’s even better if you can do both. You too can become an expert.

It’s very important that you include enough information with what you ask. So include the details. If you don’t, it will be difficult for anyone to provide an answer that is helpful to you.

Don’t worry about asking anything what might seem "dumb". If you’ve wondered about something, you can be sure someone else has. Sometimes it takes more than one answer to get things clear in your mind.

Everything you ask and the answers are free so make this a self help forum that’s fun and helpful for everyone to take part in. I’ll try posting everything as quickly as I can within a day or so.

You have the option to upload a photo if you want. I’m not sure how a photo will help but please surprise us if you want. Again, a photo is not necessary.
