		<description><![CDATA[At some point, you really must move beyond guitar tablature. Yes, I said it. For those of you who don&#8217;t know, guitar tab is really, really easy to read. (See below.) This looks somewhat like standard musical notation, but instead of the usual 5 lines on the staff, it has 6, one representing each string [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=buildingintuneition.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6366440&amp;post=220&amp;subd=buildingintuneition&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

However, honestly, a &#8220;five-step process&#8221; to composing good lyrics seems a bit formulaic.
