And while doing so, I also try to share the process with fellow youtubers. So at the end of these three videos, there is an analysis of things that went through my head when writing the riffs/lyrics/arrangements. If you like this kind of stuff I hope you will join me in my Sunday video chats! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Im always writing riffs and bits of songs but rarely get one properly finished. I always tend to lose it and end up with half a song I like and half that I hate then scrap it Its good to watch these videos and get a look at your thought process though, cheers. also, I just saw your video for 'A loner' on youtube, I'd never seen it before. I watched it about 3 times in a row and was mesmerized by your dancing besides that, the song, is freakin awesome. really excellent vocal as well.

The way I look at it - is that the tricky part is writing a verse and chorus that work together, when you got that you need to find a catchy intro so you don't loose the listener in the beginning (several of my intros in this thread are weak imo). So if you can come up with a strong verse + chorus then you know you have got a song, the rest requires work but should be doable. PS Are you joining my livestream today?

I try to follow a similar style with 'varying' success I should be able to catch the livestream today, I except to be home by then. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I haven't listened that much to those - I am however a huge fan Dio's black Sabbath work (Dehumanizer). Awesome - catch you later then! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
