Do any of you have binders?

Do you keep a music binder? What does it contain? xD I'm curious on how you all record your thoughts and stuff :p

No, When I got an idea, I keep it in mind, twiddling, jiggling... then I try it out in a sequencer... if it work, I save it.

Im not much a lyric writer, but I do sometimes, some of them I just save to random docs :P

Marble note books... Many marble notebooks

I have a binder with a bunch of chord sheets. only a few of them are mine. I generally write my songs down in a notebook. sometimes I use the computer but not usually

I use spiral notebooks to write but I've not written a lot lately it's easy to scribble out ideas and then I rewrite and rewrite and rewrite. I also have a practice notebook with compositions ideas, and "final" songs in.

I have a folder filled with classical tabs and a binder with banjo sheet music and exersizes.

I don't know what a binder is :|

like a 3 ring notebook

I have a few notebooks with all kinds of lyric ideas, riffs, solos, etc. No binders though-always found them to be too bulky.

I always figured, if it wasn't worth remembering, it wasn't worth keeping.

I use mead composition books....I fancy the name and there convienience....I have one for songs and one for theory notes.

I store everything on flash drives (I'm a geek). Mostly intros, bridges, breakdowns and a few riffs that I haven't worked into songs yet.

I would agree with you, but, I found an old notebook with a song intro I had written over a year ago, which has become an awesome riff now. Old ideas can spark new creations.

Me, binder. Ha!

I write my ideas down on any free bit of paper I can find. My room is full of scrap paper with ideas written down.

do you think i should make a seperate notebook for lyrics/chords/tabs ive written down in there?

I'm total geek, my day job I fix broken websites and do some linux admin stuff.

There are some things I go old school with, I personally find inspiration and focus away from the computer.

I have 3 main binders and soon 4.

My main practice binder is divided up in different sections and is about to burst. Practice Log, Scales & modes, chords, arpeggios, picking hand, theory, songs, and composition. the second binder are print outs of some pdf's from some guitar world DVD's, the third is just misc stuff.

I keep a couple of spiral notebooks with lyrics and song ideas. Then I have a few other books i work out of too.

I'd start out with just one binder it's easier to keep track of and such. As time goes on when it gets full, get a second one.

i keep a binder haha, i got dividers in it too... the tabs are: Chords for Songs(it has like..lol chords for songs off of ultimate guitar), the next tab is: Tabs(just random riffs and licks i find on the internet or make.. next one is: Theory(it has like how scales and modes are made and how diff chords sound good together... the last one is scales, modes, and sweeps. this one just has excatly what its called.
