If we want to progress as songwriters we need to learn at least the basics of chords, harmony, even if it means that we have to come up with some of the rules that exist in formal theory on our own.
When writings songs, it's always good to see how great songs were written. What type of songs do we want to create, what is the structure of such a song, how many choruses, how many verses, do we have a bridge, how is energy distributed throughout the song etc. All these things, if analyzed from other famous songs, can help us boost some of our own ideas as well. What do you think about this topic? What was the last song you learned to play from beginning to an end? -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I'm currently learning Bastards of the machine by Symphony X, it's been a while since I learned a new song but this one is just too good for my taste,
and you are right, when I learn a song now I realise of the amazing songwriting skills of these musicians, every detail, arrangement is carefully chosen so that the listener enjoys the most out of the tune, -------------------- Visit my:
