Happily, Alec of Two Hours Traffic was able to do phone-in interview last Wednesday. Two Hours Traffic is a terrifically acclaimed band and are worth checking out. He offered some amazing tips on air with great concision and here I will pass them on to you:
#18 Don't limit yourself by genre. Alec mentioned how listening to hip-hop can inspire and instruct in songwriting rhythms and phrasing.
#19 Switch up your writing instrument. The Classical guitar has been giving Alec a good run in writing.
#20 If you have a good melody make sure you marry it to a lyric pronto, or else it is sure get lost to the mists of time. (Barring that, a dictaphone can be good investment to remember songwriting nuggets)
