Songwriting 1.m4v

The first part of a video recording how I tried to write a song in an hour. It actually took about 90 minutes. You can hear the finished song here: http://www.mattmayfieldmusic.com/?p=48

@w1av Thanks for watching! That sounds like an interesting approach, and a productive way to avoid sounding cliche.

Very interesting how people write songs! I was intently studying your video here. I compose in a more different way. I usually start with the verse and create a chord progression. But I NEVER use any major chords. I use alot of maj/min 7ths, 9ths, and add 2nd major chords. But I base it all around the drum track. I do mostly a fusion/jazz/blues mix. Basing the tune around the drum track forces me to be creative. Then I put keys/guitar/bass....then produce.....
