SONGWRITING: 6 Tips for Guitar Songwriting http://ow.ly/2wLPkz
Well presented; thank you for posting.
Bro, how did i not find your channel sooner?
Jayson, all music uses these rhythms, whether sped up or slowed down, so
yes you can. With metalcore, 16ths.
Thanx for pointing out what I’ve been doing right in songwriting as well as
things I need to work on. I finally realized that when I use those phrasing
devices in riffs, solos and lead lines, they jump out and make an otherwise
mediocre line boogie.
One of my favourite songs has a guitar intro that I originally wrote for
horns, and the guitar solo is pretty much the bass guitar part from a
different part of the song. The different way of phrasing these parts makes
them stand out from my usual directionless, pentatonic noodlings. Try some
exotic scales or synthetic modes, so that your fingers aren’t going where
instinct takes them. Likewise, using an open tuning will make your brain
have to work in a different way than usual.
Andrew you are.. the man. Inspiring and dedicated. Best YouTube guitar
teacher.
Very cool!
example 5 is nice
This Is what I love. You just pick up the guitar and go straight to work at
schooling us. Thank you.
andrew youre awesome!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words. If you went to
Musicians Institute you’ve certainly got the foundation to be the best
you’re capable of! Take care. – Andrew
The problem is instinct takes over. Al these scales and patterns we’ve
learned to mechanically do without thinking become obstructive, so you need
to “break your programming”, so to speak. John Lennon started writing on
the piano because he found himself continually going back to the same
instinctive concepts when trying to compose on the guitar. Joe Satriani
advocates sticking to just one string, so that it’s just notes going up or
down, and there’s no reliance on box shapes or positions.
I teach in SC, and you are inspiring me to be the best teacher i can be.
Thanks Andrew. I went to M.I. in 1996.
