  2. Trying to compose music to lyrics is really tough, especially when I don't have any experience, I don't play and instrument and I can't read music well. I am having a really hard time trying to find the timescale, trying to find the tempo, what notes I'm even singing, I don't know where to begin.

  3. This series has been quite an eye-opener, and has made me realise that I need to do a lot more further study to create a well structured song.

  5. okay people the best way to write a song if your new to song writing is to simply listen to a whole bunch of your favourite song writers. Pay close attention to how they start there story where do they they start there lyric from, how do they build there lyric ideas up, so that each verse makes sense to the last? If your writing a chorus (think about using an idiom) to sum up what your trying to say. An idiom is simply a well known saying it can be proper english or it can be created from slang ie street language). An example of a every day idiom (Two heads are better than one), or (Dont know what youve got till its gone) etc.
    The video like the one above is a very non musical uninspiring approach to learning how to write a song. The best advice any professional musician will ever give you is to choose a starting chord for your verse and chorus and sing something to accompany the chord you just played, then use your ears alot! if it sounded good and it sounded like it fit naturally against the music keep it and expand on the melody your creating. If it dosent try singing or humming a new melody until you find something you like that compliments the chords your using. Song writing should be from the heart tell your stories and sing within your comfortable vocal range to begin with until you develop a sense of your own musical identity and style.

  7. Don't listen to what he said about stealing songs. There's a fine line between ghost writing and stealing songs. You can get the key of a song and use chords from that scale to capture a similar feeling but when you copy you always get caught. Make your own unique sounds

  9. This is great info. Thanks for sharing. I have a ton of videos about music licensing and how to get music in tv and films. Check out my channel if you're interested

  10. when marty teaches something like this (something on how to make interesting guitar prog.) ill stick for sure but till now all ive seen is from him is specific songs people want ._.

  11. but what you should take from this is what he said about we create melodies the same way we speak..if we're asking a question our voices travel in a certain direction…the same is true for making a statement and also giving an order. this is where our melodies come from…people don't realize how important this info is when writing melodies.
