Song writing tips - How To Write Great Songs Every Time!

Song writing tips - How To Write Great Songs Every Time!

Song writing tips are available all over the web, but much of this information can you really use? When I started out I scoured the net for advice on songwriting. I read everything I possibly could but noticed that all I seemed to find were articles on music theory, or advice telling me to "draw on my own experiences" or "write from your soul" without actually telling me HOW. No song writers sit down to write and think "Ok, I'm just going to write from the heart and everything will be fine." They all have a set of techniques they use to tap into their creative energy so they can consistently write great songs!
Here are some ideas you can use instantly to help you come up with great songs every single time!TWO: Next we're going to make some music. Grab your guitar or piano and make as many ideas as you possibly can. We're talking a collection of riffs, chord sequences and melodies.Make sure you come up with as many ideas as possible. Don't worry about sorting the good from that bad at this point, it's all about getting the ideas out of your head. Make sure you record them all as well do you don't forget them later!Please, please make sure you don't edit your ideas or judge them at this point. This is all about making sure you get ALL of your ideas out of your head and onto tape, sorting the good from the bad comes later!

It's really important to take a break after you've made all your ideas before you try and complete the song. It helps your mind sort through all of your ideas. It's crazy, song ideas can leap into your head weeks or even months after you initially came up with the idea. It happens all the time.Once I go back to my backlog of ideas, I'll go over my lyric sheets, underline any of my favorite phrases and then sing them randomly over my musical ideas.If nothing good comes out, I'll try another idea, then another, then another until eventually something sticks, and it ALWAYS does, just make sure you stick at it for long enough and your next hit record will come flying out of nowhere.
