Welcome to Songwriting for the Curious Guitarist! This is a complete course that will turn you into a confident & creative songwriter on your guitar. We'll start at the very beginning, assuming that you don't know anything about songwriting, and teach you how to arrange a song, choose chord changes for each part, create melodies that go with your chords (for singing or soloing), plus your own rhythms & strum patterns, and add your creative mark to your original songs.
This course is an excellent way for you to expand your patterns & formulas for song parts & arrangements, and also go deeper into the possibilities on time changes & modulations, or key changes.
Any kind of six-string guitar will work well for this course - electric, acoustic, or classical guitar.
Songwriting on the guitar is so enjoyable because there are unlimited possibilities for chords, song parts, melodies, solos, lyrics, and your own creative direction. This is why so many popular artists write their songs on the guitar.
Every lesson video in this course has a PDF attachment which are the tabs, chords, and text lessons to use as an additional resource while watching these videos. You can download, save, & print these. Be sure to get all the PDFs.
