Your videos are mad helpful. I actually am working on a song for a girl,
haha
Oooooo u threw some serious SHADE at the beginning xD
You got me with the cute blonde girl :D.
Thank you Marty!
I needed somebody to stand up and say that it is OK to create songs this
way!
When I get stuck trying to get inspired to write a song this is totally
what I do! I just play a bunch of covers and then after a while I come up
with chord progressions and then think.. “wait a minute” this sounds a bit
like some of the covers I’m practicing!” I think it’s true that you
unconsciously pick up stuff. A lot of songs are actually the same chord
progressions but what really makes a song stand out is the vocal melody and
the lyrics… For me if I get that stuck in my head it actually makes
writing a song easier… Anyway I really liked your video! 🙂
Thanks for the nice video! I enjoyed it. Here is a piece of advice for all
young musicians: I am a music producer. After extensive research I am glad
I found the most advanced digital audio workstation program for this year.
You can find a link to this music production program on my channel. go
check it out.
I like that vido of the blond to 😉
IMMA GO WRITE THAT HIT MUSIC!!!
I don’t always do things this way, but I have gotten some of my favorite
song ideas from misheard lyrics.
The Beatles set the base for so many modern songs
I told a group of friends that song sounds like Ghostbusters! They said I
was crazy! That may be true, but it is the same song and thanks for proving
it lol. Nice lesson
HEY! That first Beatles song u did! I think R5’s One Last Dance was
inspired by it! It sound totally the same!
Interesting approach. People have been taking tunes from other people and
making new songs out of them forever. Think about all the church hyms,
patriotic American tunes (e.g. My Country ‘Tis of the) and blues tunes that
were based on variations of someone else’s melodies.
he is the only serious musician here on youtube.wish him the best.
Dude… thank you for calling out the bullshit in all the other videos
about songwriting. <3
somewhere over the rainbow and let it be are also similar 🙂 and that i
discovered on my own
you on top Tedd!
Marty And Papastache are The best Teachers ;**
Haha, Marty was totally talking about the tutorial Zosia did on writing a
song on the channel rockongoodpeople at the start.
Also try to play some songs you know and try playing the notes backwards
and add bends, chords.
Real songwriters don’t use theory but their ears. If it sounds good – it is
good.
Awesome. That has actually helped a lot. I’ve been trying so hard to be too
original and it was causing me a kind of writers block. Thanks, Marty!
Well, I don’t think this was helpful…..all songs now a days need chords
like like A-G including sharps, flats, diminished chords, etc., but they
are the chords we have, of course some songs sound the same, if they all
sounded differently and we couldn’t use the same chord progression then
there would be no songs in the world at this point to be honest because
they wouldn’t be allowed to use any chords at this stage in time. Just
saying.
Yeah, I noticed the Blackbird/Scar Tissue thing just a couple weeks ago,
and I thought it was sooooo cool! Due to the song frequently referring to
birds, I didn’t see it as Frusciante ripping off McCartney, I saw it as a
subtle homage to the greatest band of all time. That was very cool of
Frusciante.
Some great tips here on how you can use existing chord progressions to
create new songs. Here are a couple of tips to come up with your own.. 1)
Use circle of fifths e.g Yesterday, Autumn Leaves 2) Use a chord sequence
with a descending bass line e.g. Changes by David Bowie, Don’t let the sun
go down on me – Elton John
Why thank you Thomas! Very kind of you:) Jonny
Very professional Jonny, good luck with it mate
Great tutorials! I have had the dreaded writers block over the past few
weeks and these tutorials have really helped to awaken my creativity!! Keep
them coming!
This is a great series!!! Well done… looking forward to seeing more!
thanks! feeling positive 🙂
