RE: Dear Steemit Songwriters ... I Have Never Written an Original Song Before and am Looking for Advice on How to Start
In my case, I always start with some chord sequence in my guitar and when I find something I like, I start to mumble some nonesense to create a melody. When I feel I have something cool that's when I start to put some lyrics.
Something that has helped me several time is to imagine that I am someone else... imagine that you are, let's say, Beyoncé, to name one... you'll see how different ideas and melodies start to appear, just like magic.
Hope you find it helpful
:)
Ooohh great advice! I never thought of channeling my inner Beyoncé, but that sounds like a fun exercise! 😉 it makes sense that imagining different artist, and styles of music could be a way to expand the types of melodies I come up with.
So far, starting with a chord progression seems to be working pretty well for me. I really appreciate your thoughtful comment and advice!
