  • I do it

    verse

    chorus

    verse

    chorus is that ok ? xx

  • @mrslovestosing111 Yeah lots of people use different orders and combinations, This is just the standard sort of 'pop genre' layout. Bands and singers will often change the layout for every song on an album so it's down to preference really. the Bridge section is often the most powerful section of a song as it is different to the rest but you don't have to include it. Happy Scribbles :) xx

    Is this ok?

  • I was wondering, instead of a chord pattern maybe you could use a set of scales to write your song for example the F minor pentatonic for maybe the verse of the song.
