Sitting down to write a song can be a totally different ballgame
from improvisation... but it doesn't always have to be.
For some people, intentional sit-down writing is a chance to get
a melody out of your head and on tape. The full idea was already
there, and it's just a chance to get it out there and express it.
Other times (and for other people), sit-down writing can be an
improvisation practice. You might not have a full idea for what
you want to hear. Maybe it's just one riff or a simple rhythm...
but you want to get that idea out there and flesh it out. In
instrumental music in particular, this process can be difficult
because there's no vocalist to help share the melodic or harmonic
load.
Today, I want to walk you through a process I use to write
instrumental songs. This is both a useful exercise in a
songwriting sense, and in a creative, guitar-playing sense. It
can really make you feel vulnerable, putting only instruments to
a track, but that's also the best way to turn your guitar into an
expression of your creative voice!
ALWAYS RECORD YOUR IDEAS, REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE. YOU NEVER
KNOW WHAT IT MIGHT TURN INTO (
