This songwriting journal is the perfect book to write your thoughts and chord sequences down. Suitable for beginner or advanced songwriters.
How to write and compose a guitar song.
You can write a song on guitar using as little as three chords. So how do you begin? How do you write a song?
A song has parts which are repeated through out. Start with an intro cord sequence, this could be on chord strummed in a pattern. The intro leads into a verse. The verse could be two or 3 chords in a certain pattern. The verse leads to a chorus. The chorus is catchy and repetitive. The chorus will lead into another verse and then maybe an outro and end.
Chord Progression
A lot of the 60’s songs were written using 3 chords. Look at the transpose key sheet and the cycle of 4th and 5ths and find the 3 chords from the key you like playing in. The chords are the 1st or Root, fourth and the 5th. I, IV, V eg C, F and G or G7
How to work on a tune.
Using the 3 chords of your choice, play around with them by playing them in different orders to make a tune. Write them down in the order you like.
Get the guitar songwriting lyrics going
It is easier to write lyrics if you have a topic or subject. Lots of no 1 hits were written using relationships as the basis for the lyrics. Write down a few ideas, see how they slot in with your chosen chord sequence and you have a song.
