  • In this video I share with you guys the 3 biggest mistakes that beginner songwriters make. I also share how you can avoid these mistakes for your future music projects. I think if not all then most of us have gone or are going through these problems. It's NOT A BAD THING! It's all part of the process in becoming a better songwriter. I'm personally still trying to figure some things out myself, but I figured I can help you with what I've learned along the way! Remember, Folks, NEVER STOP LEARNING!!! Hope this video is helpful to some of you.

    I get stuck with a great part and then getting it to set apart the verse and chorus apart from studio stuff. Just songwriting. How to expand the original idea. How to make the chorus stand out. What was your thought process picking chords. Those are things I struggle with. Ya know? Anyway, you’re killing it. Great content

      These are great factors in songwriting that I’ll consider expanding on in future videos. Thank you for your input and sharing your views! Stay posted!

    Hi! Thanks for the video. I play guitars, compose riffs and solos. Under the guidance of the producer, he even released a record in Detroit on the FNR label. I have a lot of ideas, but I can't write a simple and easy song, organize myself, make an arrangement, maybe it's lazy, but it's difficult for me. This video helped me get rid of this complex and it became easier for me to understand that music is also mathematics, in addition to creativity. Thank you, and I wish you and the channel prosperity.

    Bro, really dig your stuff. I wish I could take a few songwriting lessons.
    I’d love to hear more about developing ideas - when I write alone and play all the parts, I struggle to differentiate the verse and chorus, it just takes more work than I feel it should. I think this happens to a lot of us.
    But it comes so quick to you, so I’d love to hear more about that!

    Any advice on writing to a song? I make songs I really like but when it comes time to put words on the track, my brain just melts. Like I can’t come up with a melody to save my life.

    • @bananalabs
      @bananalabs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey, Jack! Thanks for your question. I struggle with lyrics myself, to be honest. Definitely not my strongest when it comes to writing down words, so it would be difficult for me to help others with that. If I can find a way to explain how I personally come up with lyrics I will not hesitate to make a video on that!

    • @DIGITAL7Media
      @DIGITAL7Media ปีที่แล้ว

      I would suggest to get into the practice of writing words once a day or as often as possible. Writing anything. Just get in the habit of dropping down words from your head. OR grab words from your favorite book or movie.

    Great video and catchy song! Of course he song form you choose depends on the style and he mood you want to express… For certain songs the verses and choruses could last the same (16 bars). A lot of Fleetwood Mac songs have a regular 8-bar structure (i.e.: “big love” or “everywhere” but they have a bit of a longer intro that was popular in the 80’s, nowadays most of modern pop music have no intro at all!) and Madonna’s biggest hits start with intro+chorus and then follow the 8 bar rule verse-chorus-bridge (i.e.: “into the groove”, “express yourself”). On of my latest songs has the “express yourself” measures but the funny part is: it wasn’t planned to be done that way!

    My observation is that beginners songs and mixes suck due to using free virtual synth presets. One must have time and interest to learn how to at least tweak those clangy, boomy, odd and too complicated pads and lead sounds which can totally ruin chord backgrounds. It is like trying to make simple vocal-guitar idea to "too professional" sounding product and fail totally.
