I'm not sure if this something that I can actually be helped with but...

I'm having trouble with creating a rhythm for my lyrics. I always end up creating something that has the same exact rhythm as another song, pitch by pitch, pause by pause, and hold by hold. Can you guys (or gals) give me tips on creating unique rhythm for my lyrics?

Thanks. :D

Ooops, not rhythm. I meant melody. Sorrry. I need help creating a unique melody for my lyrics.

Thanks and sorry about the confusion.

Use the pinky! I kid you not. Especially when coming up with chord progressions. Start with something simple...Am,C,D...or something like that, and then add in the 7th note (or an 11th, or a 13th, or whatever sounds good!) part way through a simple strum pattern. It turns your 2 dimensional pattern into a 3 dimensional vision of sound. It has helped me many many times. That can also help create a vocal melody. Anyway, I hope that helps a little bit. Just spicing up your sound, giving it a little jazz, can add a lot to your melodies.
