I’m not analizing the songs, but it’s important to know the tone.
However it is easier to learn soloes if we know the basic-scale.And this needs also to the improvisation. |

Sometimes two much thinking on the theory part can mislead your creativity. When you compose it is best to keep it open minded and just record ideas. Later on you can analyze it and see if there are some weak spots that need adjustment. Of course, people are different and we all approach writing songs in different manner, often different methods depending on the mood, so there is no rule. Just make a song that sounds cool to you and enjoy it listening that is the main goal.

I don't really analyse the songs, but using my ears, I find out which scale is used (so for Iron Maiden that would be E Minor / Aeolian) and then I can play along using minor pentatonic or aeolian... Apart from that, I try learning only the lead parts, and where there is no particular lead, I play the rhythm !

I loved your Guitar Idol take, and the judges are pretty stupid not to have put you in with the live finalists ! -------------------- My YouTube Channel

I think this is a very neat idea. In fact I think this is how %99 of music on the radio is written these days. Not by directly copying, but remembering what other people did that sounded good and just changing it a little bit. That's why I hate modern music -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Depends why I'm learning the song...If its just for live covers playing I don't do analyzing much...but If I get intrigued I would think about it more in-depth...

I usually learn the riffs & the solos if they are easy enough, to be able to play along. I love learning songs I like
But I don't take the time to investigate how it was composed, I guess I still don't know ebnough theory anyway. Knowing the key & scale the song uses is enough for me so far. -------------------- Guitars:
