https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-05.html	When you write a song do you think its good to try something and sit back and think about how it fits and being careful about what you choose, or do you rather say "ohh that's not working, quick lets try something else" and get more ideas out there?	'thinking' about how it fits is a direct route to failure. songwriting only works when you are using your 'feelers'. One of the most common problems of songwriting is you get caught up thinking instead of feeling. and absolutely nothing good happens in that case

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-04.html	i know that minor 7 and 7sus4 chords can sound so good like how you use them in new canaan how can i do that	it's pretty normal. the way to learn to do it is by learning/hearing/playing many many songs. for best results, cast the net broadly through time, at least 100 years worth of music, up to the present. the reason i'm suggesting this is because, over time, people do things in slightly different ways, but if you broaden the time scope you will really see the commonalities coming through with how to express yourself through music. and all this will feel very familiar to you

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-04.html	Each time I ask you a question here, I want to start with Hey Bill, or just Bill. As if you don't know who you are.... But still, it does feel more polite and more personal to me to start off with writing down your name. Does it bother you the same way it does when an interviewer calls you by your name in a podcast eg?	it feels the opposite of personal, trying to be fake personal. it sounds like the person is probably selling something. at least that's the way it sounds to me. Think about people who actually know each other, talking, for real..... could you even imagine them saying each other's name to each other? it just wouldn't happen
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-04.html	I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable. And I also want to be polite, because I appreciate your answers so much. So my question is this: what do you prefer?	i like the variety of people being all different ways. that's what makes this section of the website special: it actually has outside input

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-04.html	I have such a hard time hearing what's going on in a chord with 5 notes. When you were first learning songs you liked did you run into this problem too? Is there any advice you can give besides keep on trying?	if you can't hear what's going on, then, i'm wondering how you even know it has 5 notes. it seems like if you can hear all 5 notes, then you can hear all 5 notes. but anyway, ..... for the first 500 songs or so (depending on how complex they are) it might be a lot of just brute force trying to pick out the notes, and then writing down the chord symbols the best way you can interpret it. but after about 5000 songs then you'll be at a place when you can easily just feel what's going on without even necessary 'hearing' all the notes. like you could be in a crowded retail store for example, and you can easily tell what chords are used in the song playing over the ceiling. even predict what goes next, etc.
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-04.html	Why are you so damn funny?	that's because i take everything so seriously
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-04.html	Why are red and blue portrayed as opposite colors (like opposite teams or opposite forces or opposite whatever) when the actual opposite of red is a much lighter shade of blue? It's even used for the polarity on magnets. Is it because the idea of red and blue being opposite was instilled so early on in life that, despite the truth being different, people decide that red and blue must oppose eachother? Maybe it's that they just like that paid of colors. Or possibly the lighter shade of blue and the darker shade of blue are the same in a way, you catch my drift?	i've never known red and blue to be opposites, nor have i been aware of a widespread belief that they are opposites. but i can see why they are great choices when you need 2 strong colors and you need them to be different from each other. if you try to use one light color and one dark color, that will probably create visibility problems because they won't work well on the same background
