Write a
Song on the Guitar
Most songs that have ever written can be broadly grouped into one of several
categories; songs written around a chord progression, songs written around
a melody, or songs written around a riff:
Chord Progressions - In songs written around a chord progression, the
writer creates an interesting series of chords, then organizes a vocal
melody and an arrangement around that progression.
Melody - This is probably the most common method of songwriting. The composer
starts with a vocal melody, and around that melody creates a chord progression
and song arrangement.
Riff - These songs are born out of a guitar (or other type of instrumental)
riff, after which a vocal melody (which often mimics the guitar
riff) and chord progression are added.
If you choose to develop the song in a minor key this will give
the whole piece a sad or moody feel. While writing in a major key will
give you an upbeat happy tune.
Many songwriters will use both major and minor keys within their songs,
perhaps choosing a minor key for the verse, and a major key for the chorus,
or vice versa. This has a nice effect as is good for the listener as it
helps break up the monotony that sometimes results when a song
lingers in one key.
Of all the aspects involved with creating new songs, writing a strong
melody is undoubtedly the most commonly overlooked and possibly the hardest
component of music, particularly with modern pop/rock music. This wasn't
always the case because the pop songwriters of the 1930's and 1940's focused
only on writing melodies and in many cases it was the basis for a song,
with lyrics and chords only added in later to give the song more
depth.
Generally, the process of writing a song is much different nowadays
because usually songs will be created from a guitar, bass or keyboard
riff, or a groove. This is built upon, along with the writing of a chorus
is written and the adding of bass lines so that the entire instrumental
part of the song has been assembled even before the melody has
been taken into consideration.
Most people will focus most of their effort of writing lyrics. While lyrical
content is obviously of great importance, a strong melody is absolutely
necessary, for without this component; the vast majority of people won't
listen to the song long enough to even bother listening to the
lyrics.
The vocal melody of the song is what is remembered most people;
and in many cases is what makes them like or dislike a song. If melodies
are well-written and catchy, people will remember and enjoy the music
but if the melodies are carelessly or poorly written and bland, people
won't it really is that simple.
