I'm trying to build some tension in a pre-chorus, but then I come to a certain point where I can't keep it up! It's so frustrating... no matter what I try, it never seems to be exciting enough (soundwise ). I've uploaded the guitar pro file which has the ideas for the song in it. It hasn't really been structured yet, but the measure I'm talking about is number 12. Do you have any ideas on how to build enough tension so a really big chorus can pop out after it? Thanks!

Also a beat or two before the chorus comes in try taking away a couple of tracks so theres a build up in sound to the chorus. Or do a crescendo. Afraid that's the best advice i can give apart from keep trying stuff until something works. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Thanks for your help though! I guess I'll just have to leave it for a couple of days. I have had the same problem lots of times myself, and the answer often seems to be the drums, so I recommend that you put some percussion in there If you still can't get onto something I would gladly try to make an idea myself that you could put in there Ok, I couldn't resist to play a little with your idea You will see that I made the time signature into 2/4 and added drums, but I didn't do very much apart from that. I don't know the purpose of the song so it might not fit in, but at least I tried You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
