Hi Fsgdjv,
First of all, thanks for starting this thread. It's a very interesting side of music. I can talk about my experience. I don't remember when I started to write my own music but I know what happens now. Sometimes I play cover songs, licks or just improvising. Then some ideas come out from my hands. After that, I try to follow what my head "sings". Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I have a melody on my head. It's important to ear a lot of different music. You can write original music but however you have been influenced by other artists. You can analyze many songs, chord progressions, structures, riffs, etc. You can learn chords, scales, licks and these become parts of your musical vocabulary. With this vocabulary and (hopefully) with your own ideas you write your music. I know that there courses for music writing. But, honestly, I don't know how useful they are. Maybe in classical music... I hope you will find your way. -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

I think that having a songwriting board/lesson series would definately benefit the site.
