The Process of Writing A Song
The Process of Writing A Song
It's not easy.
After hours of brainstorming lyrics, you come out with the songs basics. THE SONGS BASICS. Then, these next 2 things happen in which ever order works more for the artist!
A. Music
Find the notes/chords! If you're singing is off key for Guitar, I recommend using a capo! A capo is a tool used to hold down on a fret, raising a pitch. You can find tutorials for more info on these in a simple manner.
Anyways, like I said, music! Notes, chords, and experiment! Yes, EXPERIMENT! Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone! It might end up being a comfy playing style AND expand your horizons!
B. Lyrics
No lyrics = Music
Lyrics = Song
If you can't sing or think your music would be more comfortable without lyrics, be my guest! It WOULD save more time! If so, then skip the rest of this section.
For lyric writers out there, think deep and emotional. Make sure it conveys the meaning of your song and sticks to it properly! If not, then your song will be very lose and probably VERY off.
Very a off of a song you'za see.
Yeah, as off as the sentence above.
Now, practice.
Practicing will help you achieve the greatest of imaginable...STUFF! It depends on your goal. Practice, practice, PRACTICE!
But do remember to take breaks.
Gain feedback!
Feedback is important! Play to someone or someones without a biased opinion to get the best feedback on your music!
Nice guide! :)
