Personally I like to write the music first and then imagine the vocals in my head while playing it. I then decide the mood of the song and write the words to fit the melody. It takes much more skill to fit a melody to words. (Im talking beyond a E-B-A progression)

Its important to make sure your not always falling back into the same rhyme scheme when writing the words first if your planning on the music being more complex.]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club Dneck https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/all-about-the-first-line/#post-215925 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/all-about-the-first-line/#post-215727 Wed, 20 Dec 2006 23:40:28 +0000
More like two lines I get a good couple of words made into 2 or 3 lines then its' full steam ahead ..

Or sit for days thinking ..thinking ...nothing ..nothing ..

So very simular but to write a couple verses I need those first 2 or 3 lines

Just a side note I try for a chorus first ...

Dneck makes a good point but I reply to this by saying , if you can't play a instrument then the structure of the song will supply the melody ..

When I write I get the tune , melody rolling around in my head as I write
I can't sing . I can't play go to my music on my signature and this proves my theory I can't play and sing .But I love to write
