​Songwriting Essentials

By now you’ve probably learned most of the basic chords, you can perform a few different strumming and picking patterns and you can sing a little while you play. You’re thinking of writing a song of your own and maybe you stumbled on a few chords that sound cool together. Maybe you found some cool chords by accident.
​
Songwriting is all about expressing yourself and finding ways to turn your thoughts or emotions into sounds. Let’s talk about a few tools you can use to help you.

Where do I start?

We need to find 2 or 3 chords that sound good together. Here we will look at chords in the key of C major and A minor to give us a place to start.

Progressions

When you play chords one after the other you are playing a chord progression. If you play C / Em / G / C you are playing a I iii V I progression in the key of C

Structure

Most pop songs have a structure like this INTRO, VERSE, BRIDGE, CHORUS, VERSE, BRIDGE, CHORUS, CHORUS. Each section is usually different to each other but you can also write a whole song with just 2 chords too!
