I remember analyzing Bach composition when studying harmony and counterpoint with a music teacher and It really helped me to open my mind regarding composition and arrangements. Getting back to your song. Do you have a vocal melody in mind? Have you try it at least with guitar, a vsti like a flute or maybe your voice on a lower octave? It is very interesting. I never got around to doing Week 2 as I planned the other night as I had some problems with Finale 2014 (notation program I use alongside the videos... there's a 30 day trial), but I learned some things about the program and I'm now ready to move on with the Mozart lessons. I sort of have a melody in mind, but it's not working as well as I would like it to work, so I've told the singer that he can try and do what he likes apart from the chorus which I still remain strict about.

Great find! When is he planning to record anything over the song? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Mar 13 2015, 07:16 PM	Learning Rock Star Posts: 7.676 Joined: 14-June 08 From: Odense, Denmark	I decided to try and engage myself even more into the "Write Like Mozart"-course, even though it has finished. I still have access to all the videos, and to get the most out of them instead of just watching them, I am now taking proper notes, writing out examples and so on so I can compile it all and print it to keep it forever. Maybe I've just had too many energy drinks today, but I'm quite excited about this little journey. I'm already learning a lot new stuff; no parrallel 5ths or octaves, in a 2nd inversion triad only the fifth can be doubled, how to write figured bass and probably much, much more.

You'll get a lot of this course since it's very different compared to what you frequently use regarding music theory and composition. What about sharing your tasks here too?

Meanwhile I've not been playing much guitar at all. Just not been feeling like it. It seems it comes and goes. One month I'll play a lot, next month I'll almost not play at all. It's a bit annoying!

I'm now trying to refind my desire to play guitar, and I think it's slowly coming back. I've picked up my 8 string again and have been trying to write some riffs on it.
