This isn't a video telling you how to write a song, it's more me showing you how I did it. It might give you some ideas for songwriting or some inspiration, or it may just cause you to feel sick to your stomach. I hope it does more of the first and less of the second.
The song featured in the video is available for free on my myspace page. It's called "I Can't Get Over It". (Not be confused with a really, really good song by the 77s of the same name).
man you're a genious:)

You are awesome at this!
Im trying, but i dont have the recording stuff.
I only poke at piano notes.
And, lyrics sound like gibberish.

@Breenuh try buying one of those cheap mp3 recorders or even a TAPE recorder. use it to record any ideas you get and then work on that idea until you finish it. you won't regret it!

Love the concepts you brought to this video; very motivating. I have a pretty bad problem that i can get a riff i like, and then suddenly begin to loose focus, and never get a song out of it. kinda annoying, but then again, ive only played guitar for like 2 years lol

@TunesInRune Tunes- You just gotta chase those ideas down and tell them who's boss. :)
Good luck with your songwriting. I don't think I even tried to write a song until after I"d been playing guitar for several years.
