I know the basic scales and I have a decent sense of rhythm. But, every time I go to compose a new riff for a song I feel that what I&#8217;m playing sounds really boring and lifeless. I feel like I&#8217;m really getting sick of hearing my guitar composing sound the same day after day. Any tips that you&#8217;d have to help me out with my guitar-based songwriting would be wickedly appreciated!<br \/>\nJames &#8212; Raleigh, NC. USA<\/p>\n<p>A: There are many musicians who &#8211; after moving through the process of learning their; scales, chords, harmonies and playing techniques &#8212; and who then move onto first transcribing and ultimately composing their own musical pieces &#8212; will often go through a period of feeling stuck! There&#8217;s no need to be discouraged, after I discuss a number of obvious points associated to this topic, I&#8217;m quite positive that you&#8217;ll have a bunch of new directions to take with your songwriting. These ideas should help to break you out of any rut that you perhaps feel that you&#8217;re in right now! In the video I zoom in on the guitar neck and run through six songwriting concepts players can begin including in their development (or perhaps we might call it the, &#8220;re-development,&#8221;) of your current song writing skill-set. <\/p>\n<p>MY 2nd YOU TUBE CHANNEL: The Guitar Blog<br \/>\nAndrew Wasson&#8217;s &#8220;GuitarBlogUpdate&#8221; YouTube Channel:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/guitarblogupdate<br \/>\n____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>MY TWITTER FEED:<br \/>\n<a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"525\" data-height=\"788\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/andrewwasson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by andrewwasson<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>ANDREW WASSON &#8211; Personal Website:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.andrewwasson.com<br \/>\n(weekly postings &#8211; w\/FREE Guitar Handouts)<br \/>\n____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Visit our Creative Guitar Studio Zazzle page:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/creativeguitarstudio\/gifts<br \/>\n____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>OFFICIAL Creative Guitar Studio Products Website:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.creativeguitarstudio.com\/<br \/>\n____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>SOUND CLOUD: Listen to some of my songs.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/soundcloud.com\/creativeguitarstudio\/<br \/>\n____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Facebook Fan Page:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Andrew-Wasson\/76585035288<br \/>\n____________________________________<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=54ZBaoBgLs0\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DONATIONS: http:\/\/www.andrewwasson.com\/donations.php MORE LESSONS: http:\/\/www.creativeguitarstudio.com\/ Hundred&#8217;s of FREE lesson Handout PDF&#8217;s &#038; MP3 Jams.
