My First Blog

Alright, this is something I have never done before.  Yes, I realize that there are millions of blogs out there.  So why do we need another one?  Great question!  Truth be told, maybe you don't need this one.  But you may find it helpful.

There are plenty of songwriters I would consider much better than myself.  But I have been able to write some great songs.  I'm not giving any formulas here as I know we are not all wired the same.  Instead, I will explain the approach I use with writing.  I'll give you some tips that I have found helpful.  Also, I will actually walk you through the writing process so that you can see the inspiration and development of real songs.

Please feel free to share any songwriting tips that you have found helpful.  I am looking forward to this and hope you enjoy!

    1. Thanks Javie! Man, I would love talk with you more about this. You are highly creative and a great writer. Plus, your writing style is completely different than mine. I could probably learn a lot from you.

  2. Great idea. I love writing songs as well. Many times I'll just sit with my guitar, find a Tone and melody through improvisation that fits my mood, and then write lyrics to it that are typically based on memories and philosophical world view.

    1. That's great! It sounds like you have a method that works well for you. Basically establishing certain parameters while still leaving room for creativity. I appreciate you taking the time to share your comment.
