Hm... Good idea. That way I'd be able to get some unbiased comments on it :)

Quick question (not related to lyrics but still songwriting): I've got two Chord Progressions for a song, that I think sound nice together - D#min D#sus2 D#sus4 G#min G#sus4 G#sus2 - and - Fmaj Bmaj G#min C#maj - and I'm trying to figure out which scale(s) to use for a solo. The obvious choice would be D# Aeolian (Minor), since as far as I can tell the chords in the first progression all use notes that are in the D# Aeolian scale, but what scales would you use for the two progressions? I'm solely asking out of curiousity because I'm not sure about how to pick scales for solos...
