Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question…
Q: I find my composing is one area that I’ve always struggled with. So, I’ve been impressed with how you can compose and perform a new song every week on your YouTube channel. I know you’ve been teaching for over 20 years. And so I was curious, could you share some of the common weak areas you’ve noticed happening, (with your own music students), while teaching song-writing at Creative Guitar Studio?
Troy – Scranton, Pennsylvania [PA], USA
A: Teaching composition to students can be at the best of times difficult and at the worst of times next to impossible. There are so many options and directions that a musician can take. We can compose in so many different ways that it can make the creation of any sort of universal set of guidelines extremely difficult. What I’ve done in this video is create a set of helpful tips in areas where over the years I’ve noticed many of my own students have problems. These areas include; Dynamics, Counter-point, Syncopation, Chord substitutes & Inversions, and the use of Contrasting Rhythms. I’ve prepared a brief discussion covering each topic with an explanation and some examples as well.
