How To Write A Great Song: The Songwriting Formula

WWW.HowToWriteGreatSongs.com This video we talk about the "songwriting formula" that is used in Top 40 MAINSTREAM radio. This is just one method for writing music in a easy to use format. Check out the other videos which include song examples. NOTICE: The reason I am behind the guitar is because this video is about the "songwriting formula" and I wanted to focus on that, and not me being any kind of "personality" on YouTube. Focus on the music. Any trolls or negative comments will be ignored... this is about spreading information and helping those who do not know how to write songs. Enjoy! TRANSCRIPT: The "SONGWRITING FORMULA" Okay... so here it is... the core of the formula used in most Top 40 music heard on the radio. You ready... here is the SIMPLE formula... Verse1 - Chorus1 - Verse2 - Chorus2 - Bridge - Chorus3 That's it. Now there are certain variations to this (such as intros, pre-chorus, etc.) that are like attachments to this basic formula. But overall this is the nucleus of great songwriting. Now let's explain the parts individually, with their function, and you will then be able to hear this formula from this point on when listening to the mainstream radio. VERSES: Basically, this is where you can tell a story. Sometimes it rhymes, sometimes it doesn't. Depending on the style of music, use your discretion. Overall, this is where you "tell a story" CHORUS: Alright, this is the part where people slip up. The secret is to make the chorus SIMPLE. This is also known <b>...</b>

GO TO: www.andrewwasson.com Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question... Q: I've been having a tough time trying to develop simple composed melodies over chord progressions. I'm basically a rock guitar ex-shredder guy who's now trying to slow down and create simple expressive lines in the instrumental pop/rock and jazz/R and B styles. The only thing is, I'm not having much luck. Could you please make a lesson covering a few concepts that work effectively when playing slower composed melodies? Thanks for the great YouTube channel you run, I'm learning a lot. - Isaac -- Grand Rapids, MI. A: Composing melodies that are simple, melodic and interpretive in a style like instrumental music requires a lyrical touch. To achieve this, you'll need notes that can linger and also suuround chord tones to really connect with the underlying harmony. Another important area happens to be the often over-looked area of rhythm. Strong and simple melodies tend to focus quite heavily upon recurring rhythmic threads in the music. In the video we'll have a look at a number of important tips to help create a nice balance when composing simple melodies in the instrumental style. The complete lesson article for this video will be available on the Creative Guitar Studio website shortly. Follow me on Twitter for lesson posting announcements <b>...</b>

GO TO: www.andrewwasson.com Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question... Q: I like instrumental rock and metal guitar the best with guitarists like; Paul Gilbert, Tony MacAlpine and Greg Howe ranking among my favorites. I'm no-place near the level of these guys, but I do enjoy writing this music. My problem is, I write melodies first & I can't get the chords that go in the background. Could you consider making a video around this topic of, "Matching Melodies to Chords." Brian -- Vancouver, CANADA A: When melodies are composed before chord progressions during songwriting, there are ways through theory and ways through trial and error that can come together to help musicians compose a set of chord changes that can be performed behind the pre-established melody. To do this sort of thing quickly, you'll need some back-ground knowledge in music theory, combined with experience from learning the harmonies found in other songs. Keep in mind that being able to draw from your experiences, (learning other people's songs), is paramount in order to have the complete set of skills required to be able to quickly target chords that sound good behind your pre-established melody. Have a look at some examples I've created for this lesson. They outline a number of key points that should help you in your quest for, "Matching <b>...</b>

GO TO: www.andrewwasson.com Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question... Q: For me, the basics of music are something I feel that I have developed. I both understand and can play lot's of; chords, scales and arpeggios. My problem however, is this; when I am composing, what music theory say's is technically correct hardly ever sounds good to me. Could you make a lesson that covers how to compose with more of a practical approach to theory, independent of all of the technical sides of music-theory. I don't want to abandon music theory, just begin working in a way that doesn't have me critically dependent upon theory all of the time. - Thomas, Tampa, Florida. A: When I teach composing, I always stress that one of the very first things to learn is how to build on a theme. Theme's are melodic hooks that create a coherence in a phrase. There are many ways to build a theme, but the most basic way is to repeat something to create a form of melodic or harmonic identification for the listener.

GO TO: www.andrewwasson.com Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question... Q: Hi Andrew, I am a mathematician getting hooked on music and guitar, and your videos have helped me greatly! In researching music, my latest studies have had me analyzing scales and chords. One thing I've noticed is that scale tones, (or degrees as they're called in the theory books), are simply numbers and the various ordering of these numbers creates melody. If I create a set of numbers such as; 6, 3, 5, 7, 3 and adapt them to the fingerboard with any number of variations of rhythm -- I instantly have a melodic statement. But, how can I take this idea further? Any ideas regarding the expansion of this concept would be very much appreciated. Thank you for all of your guitar lessons. - Luis, Cambridge, MA. A: The numeric melody combinations approach is a fantastic way to come up with interesting melodic ideas. The trick to developing this approach is adding embellishments and making variations to rhythms. The interesting thing is that any number is actually a melody waiting to be discovered.
