Here are several situations and solutions for your reference:
1. People who like singing often hum their own songs, but they don't know the staff and can't remember the music. What should I do? How to record your own creation? To meet this problem, we should first prepare a walkman that can be recorded, or even other recording equipment. When humming, record it immediately, and then use various methods to find someone who can help you compose music (whether it is staff or notation), ask him to make a complete record of your creation, and then find someone who can play musical instruments (preferably guitar, piano, electronic organ, etc.). ). Ask him to help you arrange the music simply, and then record it with recording equipment (vocal instrument) to make a simple Demo. This way of writing songs can not only be preserved, but also bring you a fortune in the future.
2. How can I write words but not melody? First of all, you must find someone who is good at writing melodies. You can divide your words into paragraphs (like the lyrics of a record), and then communicate with him your imaginary style, rhythm and so on. I believe that such cooperation will produce good works!
I am good at writing melodies, but I know nothing about words and lyrics. How to create them? This situation is similar to the situation. No matter whether you are good at writing words or melodies, you can record them completely first (using your own recording method), and then find your other half! But the situation of many record companies is oh! So it's very important to take care of your work!
Writing melodies is very touching, and I can play musical instruments, but I don't know much about chords. I can't make a good Demo. What should I do? There are many people who encounter this situation. First of all, it's a good thing to be able to do Demo. No matter how good the chord is, how bad it is, how changeable it is, how to change the tone, and so on. Do your own original Demo first. Arrangement is another matter. Because when the record company chooses songs, although it will be influenced by the arrangement, the influence is not great, because according to their professional judgment, it is possible to compose a good melody after the arrangement. Therefore, it is most important to write a good melody. If you want to learn how to use special chords, the best advice is to buy a book about harmony. This progress is incredible!
5. I can arrange music and use chords, but the melodies I write are often bland and meaningless. How to write a song "Where is the Song"? This situation often happens to so-called dear friends. In this case, individuals must often sing and sing songs that they feel good. They sing more, and naturally they can write more beautiful melodies in their creation. Of course, the real release of one's feelings will be the most direct source of moving songs! ! Now to start our business, you need a pen and paper to remember something. Before learning theory and experience, we should learn to use all kinds of chords freely. A and D (People like Springsteen and Bob Dylan use them a lot. For example, the famous (a) born in (d) U.S. (a) A. mixed with G can get more than 70% of the classic songs of pop, rock and folk songs! ! Don't believe me? Give it a try! ! ! Other synthesis operations are just as simple. I have abused chord mixing such as Am-G or a-g myself for many years. Don't ask me theory before this, it's not my specialty. Read David Hodge's wonderful column "A before E" (except after C). David will explain it in detail. First play the main chords (A-B-C-D-E-F-G, not the minor chords or anything) and feel them. Open chords and minor chords have completely different feelings. Chords have a melancholy feeling. They sound like there are many tragic love stories in it! Now let's play a minor. Do you feel different? Now play A first, then Am. Pay attention to their differences. Then I played g, followed by an Am, playing in a different way. Play for a while, and then find a compact and fast mode. See if you can find several different patterns on these two chords. Each pattern can be a song. Now you can just play your favorite mode. Then write some sentences on paper with a pen. Don't go beyond your ability, just write down what you often think of. Subconscious things will become what you want, and the possibility of success or failure lies in that you have to feel the same way with your favorite model. Then you have to play your favorite tune over and over again until you feel comfortable, and then sing the sentences you wrote. Yes, everyone can sing, and not everyone can sing well, but don't mind this. If your sentence has 1 to two special syllables, you have to adjust your pattern to 1 to two corresponding places. Or you can remove a word from the sentence, or replace a long word with a short word. There are many things you can do, but we still keep a simple attitude here. If a syllable is missing from the sentence, please drag one of the words one beat longer. Now write other sentences. Although it doesn't need to have anything to do with the beginning, sometimes something may happen. If it has nothing to do with your first part, you should do something special to connect them. You must remember the number of syllables in the mode you choose (these are actually more troublesome than the previous part, but keep a simple attitude at this time. Then, don't rack your brains and follow your heart. If you really can't think of anything to write, add something to the sentence written earlier. Now it's time to connect these two paragraphs. I suggest you add two more paragraphs. That will be before you finish your work. Ok, now you have four songs in AM-G mode. This is simply a poem! Let's try to start another song. Still 4 paragraphs! ... don't write fake! ! How does that sound? Maybe I missed something between these two paragraphs. Then add a d between them and connect them through the previous pattern. Now you can play the modified things again. Ok, write chords next. We try to use the c-g model. Replace your previous thing with this as a chord, and you can use it as the "climax" part of the song. What about what you wrote earlier? How do they make you feel? Let these poems come alive! Have you thought about this? What do you think of these problems? After writing the first paragraph, are you ready for the second paragraph? Please try using F-G mode. Return to C-G mode when writing the third paragraph. The next fourth paragraph will be very important. If you don't make some changes here, you will play these chords forever. Your audience will also fall asleep. Never in F-G mode, just hang there when you meet G again. Just like your phrase, it will end in g again. In other words, you hang the whole song there. Based on the above point of view, you can put down your guitar. But whether you feel comfortable or not, continue to write other sentences. Now you write according to this rule: the first paragraph, the second paragraph, the chord, the third paragraph, the chord. Then play the whole song. Look, you have a complete song! A simple song is also a song. Don't worry, the point is that this is not your limit. The rest is the title of the song. I don't suggest you give this song a name with simple words. You can read through the lyrics you wrote, and you will find a few words pop up suddenly! Use this as your song title. Finally, do you think it is easy to write songs? I hope to hear about you and see your change. You may want to change some chords, throw something away or add something. Try different things and you will make progress. Of course, don't remove the important parts of the song, and don't add those useless things.
In addition: 1. First of all, most songs are written after getting the words. Therefore, it is very important to study the artistic conception of lyrics first. Some people often fail, such as the rain in June. Melody and lyrics are extremely incongruous.
Don't be busy spelling chords after learning the lyrics. Memorize the lyrics. When inspired, one word can even write several versions of this song.
3. Inspiration comes, hum a whole paragraph according to a melody. Because if it is always intermittent, it will make a song feel incoherent. And be sure to memorize it. It is possible that you will only think of a certain melody once in your life. When you remember a melody, never follow the pitch relationship. If so, the next time you remember, you will remember the pitch relationship but definitely forget the interval relationship. Remembering the melody only needs to be hummed in your head for a long time. Just like me, the teacher often scolds me for a word or two of music in class, or I can't do my homework without class. Do it again! But it was worth it.
4. When the melody is completely composed, plan the structure of the whole song. Or interspersed with some rap, such as those in the middle of the hair as snow. Structure sometimes plays a big role.
5. Arranging (accompaniment), which requires some knowledge of chords. The only step in making a song is to use chords dead. If it is piano accompaniment, it is usually played by the right hand first, and then edited by the left hand. Don't be stupid enough to make up some four-way play. If it's a guitar or something, it's easier. Just get the chords right. Chords should be in harmony with the main theme and the level of your own voice. If it is a variety of musical instruments, chords are used more. If you want to find a particularly outstanding feeling in the plain, it depends on your personal skills and musical accomplishment. As for the details of chords, it's a long story. I'll talk about this later.
6. Harmony, harmony actually plays a role in setting off the main theme. It should be noted that general harmony is very ethereal to me. No, no, there are many harmony parts at the end that are obviously sung by two voices, such as In the Name of Father, The Little Blacksmith in Milan and so on. 7. It's almost time to record, but ordinary recording pens are definitely not. There are many recording softwares on the Internet, all of which are not bad.
