What was it like to write your first song?

The biggest feeling is that I finally don't imitate anymore. You can explore every sound and every word for yourself. This, in turn, will help you form your own personal style and find your own voice.

After that, I often magically find that the traces of my imitation are getting smaller and smaller. Of course, deliberate training can achieve this effect, but writing your own songs will speed up the process. From an emotional point of view, the moment when the lyrics come to your mind and you happen to have a guitar at hand to capture them, is a precious experience.

The first time you write a song in its entirety, you will have a feeling of superpower, after all, this way of commemorating emotions and moments is so high that you don't know it. Another important benefit is that the emotional expression and sense of accomplishment of writing songs will help you get through a lot of tough times. It won't necessarily make your life easier, but it will make your mood more stable.

I've been learning guitar for many years, and I've always wanted to write a song by myself, but how to write it has bothered me for a long time. I asked a friend who is a keyboardist in a band, and he said that the most important thing to write a song is to listen to the song first, then pick it down, summarize the chord direction of the song, learn and know the strings, and then try to write it yourself. In fact, it takes a long time to listen to the song and summarize the process, and now many guitar scores are not very serious, and some chords are not very well matched, and more often you need to pick them up yourself (Lu Jiahong's book and Dawei guitar scores are not bad, and you can refer to the scores compiled by these two).

After summarizing the chord direction, you should have a general understanding of the song, and then learn the chords and arrange the chords in combination with the key. Now that the general framework of the song is in place, the next step is to modify the details. The chords are walked through on the piano, adjusted, and then reflected on the guitar, and the tone of the same chord is different on the guitar and on the piano, so you have to choose for yourself.

Choose the right chords to play on your guitar. Then there's the intro and solo, which requires a lot of scale practice. **It's beautiful, the moment I write the song, I have a sense of accomplishment and it's very cool.

When I wrote the first song, I felt like I was very good. When I wrote the tenth song, I felt that I was already an original singer, and I was about to become famous. When I wrote the fiftieth song, I felt that the basic style of the song I wrote was similar, and I wanted to break through but I didn't know where to start.

By the way, I found out that I was still me, regardless of whether I could write songs or not. When I wrote a hundred songs, I felt that writing songs was boring, and the future was terrifying, and there were many masters. So I gradually slowed down the speed of writing songs, and just wanted to wait for that wave of inspiration.

Go with the flow and feel it. You don't need to study deliberately, it's just a natural thing, just like eating and drinking, the song appears in the brain, and it's more happy. When you turn a momentary inspiration into a work, it's really a proud thing, because this song belongs to you, and writing a song gives me more fun.

If you don't get inspired for a long time, then you get upset and go take a shower, well, much better. I often stay up late, I prefer to stay up late to do **, it's very quiet, this feeling is very good, but I usually wear monitor headphones, so I can't hear it outside. It takes a lot of time to work on a tone, basically, not much time for socializing.

Occasionally, it's a bit lonely, no, long-term loneliness takes a lot of time to study some music theory. From composing to arranging to mixing, you'll enjoy the process, but you'll basically spend a lot of time composing and you'll be a little suffocated.

Pleasantly surprised, feeling like I had created a piece of work and feeling a sense of accomplishment. It's like your child, you can't put it down. It's even better if it's improvised, and sometimes there is a wonderful feeling of being one with the world. Personal experience.

After I met it, I felt that pop songs were all routines. A set of chords skewers countless songs. However, it will also be found that some singers can not only sing. After liking metal, I became resistant to popular saliva songs. After the music theory progressed, I felt that Jay Chou was really capable.

I have a good buddy, I used to play with **, and I also helped him fill in the words of a few songs, Now my buddy has written about dozens of songs, and I throw a small sample in the group from time to time, Recently, I saw that they were all playing with well-known ** people. The difference is that God gives us food, and writing songs is the same as writing a diary when we are in a good mood.

The first time I wrote a song was during the summer vacation of the first year of junior high school to the second year of junior high school, that time I had less homework in the summer vacation (the rule of our class is that the better the grades, the less homework) was idle at home, and a melody suddenly flashed in my mind, and I thought it was quite good, so I picked up the guitar and began to write songs as I wanted (I started to learn the guitar in the fifth grade) I couldn't believe it when I wrote it, it turned out to be a song about graduation nostalgia (maybe I was subconsciously very nostalgic) I didn't think much about it at the time, I felt that I was very powerful. In retrospect, it doesn't seem like much, after all, only the lyrics were written, the sheet music and the prelude and outro were all relatively simple, and even the chord solo or something was added after a long time. Actually, I had my first time writing music in the sixth grade of elementary school (I didn't even dare to use the word arrangement.

experience, but those melodies are slowly accumulated from the bottom of my heart. I'm about to enter my first year of high school now, and at the beginning of this summer vacation, a friend in my junior high school class wrote a poem with the name of a song board with a water tune, and I came up with the idea of composing a song again. Of course, the tune has been written a long time ago, and this time it was almost in one go, ready to sing it to her at the class reunion in an unknown number of years to surprise her.

Alas, if it weren't for the two of us going to different high schools.

I think it's a sentimental person, and then this song may have a different meaning in my life. I felt that it was difficult to express my feelings at the time in this song, and I would feel very happy when I wrote it, and of course I put in a lot of hard work. I think I'm very powerful, maybe I'm a sentimental person, and I also think I'm quite literate.

Excited, happy, and very fulfilling, when I went to college, because the writing was better, I helped our school club fill in a word, haha, how to say, even I didn't believe in my new skills that were developed, and then I performed at the annual meeting after I went to work, haha, the little girls in the whole unit adored me.

I feel a special sense of accomplishment, and every time I hear it, I feel very happy, confident, and confident to write next.

I felt that it was difficult to express my feelings at the time in this song, and I would feel very happy when I wrote it, and of course I put in a lot of hard work.

It's a surprise that I suddenly feel like I've got a skill right. But I'm still quite excited, you know, I see other celebrities racking their brains so much to write songs, and I suddenly feel that I may have a little talent.

I've tried writing songs! That was when I was in junior high school, and children at that time were full of curiosity about everything, especially when Chinese pop music was at its most developed, and a few of us wrote a song together.

Maybe it's because we're too young to know what it's all about writing songs, how to write a good song, and after writing a few lines of lyrics, all of them were rejected by the girl who can play the guitar, saying that the lyrics don't rhyme at all, and then I know that writing lyrics still needs to rhyme, and after our disdainful efforts, the song that belongs to us is finally written, and we will try to sing it again, and everyone still divides who sings which line, I really miss that time.

Although I have forgotten the specific tune for so many years, but I still vaguely remember the lyrics, and now I sometimes dream of some beautiful melodies, and then hum them and record them with my mobile phone, and fill in the words when I have time, although I know that no one will hear it, I just feel interested in writing it by myself, but this feeling of writing songs will make me very excited all day long.

I believe that when everyone listens to songs, they look at those beautiful lyrics, or rather, like those more hip-hop lyrics, and they always fantasize about writing these songs one day, after all, what a wonderful thing it is to write the songs they write and sing them themselves.

But there's a question, have you ever tried to write a song? I've tried, when I first started writing songs, I thought it was a very simple thing, I think a lot of lyrics translated are actually a very ordinary sentence or two in life, but when I write, I feel that these words, I can't piece them together, and after I write these songs, maybe one second I will hum a rhythm of it, and the next second, I may not remember how to sing it.

I always want to wear headphones and write these lyrics in a very quiet situation, and you will find that why are the lyrics written by others very simple, but when you get to you, you will feel so difficult, will you feel that you are not suitable for writing songs?

Actually, no, I don't think it's a talent for everyone to write songs, but a kind of guidance that others have given you? It's like writing an essay, if you were asked to write an essay alone, would you think you could write it? I don't think so, those songs are like this, everyone has failures, but when you first write, no one tells you how to write and what to pay attention to!

You'll regret why you can't write songs, why you can't write those rhythms, at that moment, I'm so angry When I didn't write songs in the first place, I could look at the songs written by other people, and I could find the kind of inspiration I wanted to write songs from the lyrics written by others, but I thought it was really difficult.
