I IV V meaning timing? if its all been done how do i write one thats original?

ummmm... not so much...

just change the title to the correct key and maybe i will explain it to you

keep in mind i dont take lessons and have no musical background... although i assume the I IV V is chord relationships.... so its in (counts on fingers) the key of... C? maybe... i dunno

there you go! now i dont even have to explain anything, your getting better

thank you... i try. but... why is F IV and not III... and G IV?

G is not IV, its V

C is I, F is IV, and G is V

C D E F G
1 2 3 4 5

okay... i see... and how do i know the key is C? like if write a song with the chord progression G A F B is it in the key of A? what determines key? thanks btw

too much to explain in one post

and btw, that progression doesn't fit into any key

[Ryeguy]

you can play a G F C progression.. although... unless you have some killer lyrics to back it up, or a great solo player to back up your G F C rythem i don' tthink it will hold up as very original..

I hate to say it but you have a lot to learn before you start posting stuff. That goes for many people who post in this forum. If you're a begginer and you suck, as we all did at one point, your not going to gain anything by posting. You'll be better off practicing and learning about music. There's only so many things we can tell you at this point and they all relate to having more experiance with the instrument.
I'm sorry if I sound like a prick but it's true. Go over and check out the sticky in the General Guitar forum, study those sites, read books, practice all day every day if you can, listen to a lot of music. Not just Dave, everything and anything that inspires you. Don't be afraid of learning things that are too hard for you. Bottom line: practice/learn...then post.

its tough to come up with shit people will like... I mean, my shit sounds good to me, but shitty to others... And I don't mind criticism, but if you don't like someone's song cuz it's "generic" what do you want them to do???? I know the guitar is very deep in possiblities, but somethings just must be used... and G, F, and C are a few of them. And if you come up with something way different that doesn't "sound right" people dont like it. Come on, be more open to somethings please.

I liked it, a little rough, I'm not sure how much you've practiced your piece, but keep at it, there may be something...

thanks... i didnt practice it alot... i just kinda recorded the base chords and worked up cause i was bored...G F C was just a random chord combo i made up to start it out...i didnt like think about it or try to use a certain type of progression... it was just random. i dont think its bad for my first original tho!

well i have lyrics but god knows i cant sing... just keep that in mind when the one part (chorus) repeats like 4 times!

G F C is NOT a "must use" prgression. you dont have to use any progression. i could probably write a million songs that didn't use either one of those chords.

on th other hand, its useful if you aren't creative.

seriously praisedave, what MWR told you to do will certainly help you more than a bunch of people from a DMB message board giving you empty criticism. you need to get better and learn more about music before you start writing it

well, for example, just in this thread i learned about the numerals representing the chord relationships...how the hell am i gonna learn that by practicing on my own. i have not the time nor money for lessons. i practice everyday for atleast an hour, but ive only been playing for 10 months or so. i hope the criticism here isnt empty...
ouch on the creativity zing btw

you really haven't learned anything about numerals yet, and of course you can learn about this stuff yourself. there are these things called books, you should check them out
