Hey, oke so i have writing my first song. Now I want to create the guitar parts but I dont know were to start. I decided the intro will be guitar only, but anyway can you guys give me some tips. If you want to see the structure and lyrics let me hear.
thnx, RHCPfan
Invest in this book, it will answer all your questions. Well worth the $$ paid:
Also, be sure to cruise the songwriting forums on the board! :wink:

Better still, try posting the lyrics in the songwriters forum - you might get some feedback there on chords etc.
:D :D :D

I'd think posting a sound clip would be more useful... I just came up with what is likely a pretty good chorus for a song and currently have absolutely no idea what chords I'll be using, though I do know what it will sound like, it's more I don't know the key I guess. At least, I knew how I wanted it to sound in my head when I wrote the lyrics down, the music I assumed I'd remember (or more likely I realized I had no idea how to write it down even a basic overview of what I wanted without figuring it out by playing it on guitar first). Good luck with your song though.
Editted in:I also meant to say that my plan for figuring out the chords is I'm going to try singing it (ruh roh) first, and then try a few different chord progressions until I find one that fits... so basically I'm going to trial an error this one but I think that will work for me.
There's plenty of sites out that there really help with this. Justin Sandercoe has some fantasic lessons on youtube. http://justinguitar.com/ That's his site right there. He has a video that explains what chords sound good with what notes, etc, etc.
He has some good lessons on power chords too. I strongly suggest checking him out.
