Hi there!

I have got a question about about writing a ballad: Is there any structure of how to make a ballad, like Intro, Vers, Refrain ... ? I know a good ballad can be worked out with lots of tries, I just want to know if there are any "advices", how ballads are structured normally.

Thanks for your help" smile.gif

Well, a calm time signature and some nice chords. Bass line plays a great role too.

Nice Lesson! You said something about how it can be overused, what do you exactly mean by that ? Any tips to not overuse it ?

Yes ... play it less often.
