SONGWRITING
Here is where we delve into how my songs are written and the songwriting
techniques that I use.
βEveryone wants to write a songβ¦ AND EVERYONE HAS A SONG TO WRITE!β
- Robben Ford
Songwriting - what you will learn:
-

INSPIRATION
The Blues being my biggest influence, I decided to keep close to Blues and R+B, but, stretch it as far as I could! Here, I walk you thru songs Iβve written from their inception to completion, showing the chords and explaining the inspiration behind the lyric.
-

VOCABULARY
To write songs, itβs good to have a variety of chord voicings under your belt and to have a love of words. My writing has strived to use lesser-used chord voicings and to pay respect to language, staying away from slang and cliche. And, youβll find a lot of those chord voicings mentioned woven into these songs.

DEVELOPMENT
Learning chords and developing a real appreciate of language will give you the freedom you need to open up and tell your own story. And as said earlier: Everyone wants to write a song - and everyone has a song to write!β¦You can do it!
