Hi Aris! Welcome back to the Army!
This thread is a follow up to this one. As you've asked by PM, we will focus on composition and technique. Your favorite styles: punk rock, hardcore, grunge, garage - rock & Roll, garage-punk. At first we will start building a 30' technique routine and analyize a few songs while I give you some basic theory knowledge that is important to start composing. Could you please share 5 songs that you like a lot? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Aris, great job here!!
For transcriptions I recommend using Guitar Pro, do you know/use it? I said that both songs are like brothers (I should have said "sisters") because there are many elements that both share. The structure is similar, tempo, rhythms used, the use of minor keys, the type of progressions. "What is actually the purpose of figuring out the chord progressions of songs? Am I supposed to somehow memorise the feel of these chord progressions so I can use them in my own songs" It's the way to understand the songs, and to get which are the chords that you need to use to generate the vibes that you want or like. A cool way to get more from these analysis is to apply these elements to your own compositions. For example, you could try ideas like these: - Take the structure of one song, the key of another one, the tempo of another one, the chord progression of another one, and change a few details. Combine elements from different songs... and let me know what happens! -------------------- My lessons
