  • write a song with me in 30 minutes :)
    taking another break from tutorials today to share with you my songwriting process. i’m really hoping to make more videos about the songwriting process and my experience with it, so if you guys would like more videos like this, please let me know in the comments!!
    in this video, we’re just going to sit down, drink some chai and attempt to write a song in 30 minutes. i never really put a time restraint on songwriting but i thought it would be fun to let you guys see a behind the scenes of how i write my songs and the process. if you want to see more let me know!!

    For verse 2:
    ‘cause you’re a bad nostalgia
    like a dust in my eyes
    i have to get it out
    but there’s no use you’re all in my head
    even when i call others name
    you’re the one who stuck all time
    and your out of sight but
    never out of my mind (mind)
    Im at the place that we used to go
    when we watched summer turn to fall
    feel the sun as i fall for you
    and then days went by,
    and you had to say goodbye
    now you’re the one who turns my summer into fall
    took my bright colors and painted all gray
    as i sit right here and remember your smile
    as long as im alive you’ll be forever in my mind
    LMAO THIS ONE TURNED OUT SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAT I EXPECTED TO BE

    I’ve written about 70 songs during this last year in quarantine. Most I feel like are pretty good, but I think that others need help. And I also forget the melodys I’ve come up with so recording it on the voice memos app helps a lot.

    I want to write an acoustic song about a girl I like. I have the tuning in D standard (DGCFAD) and I was watching this last night when the song title came to me. I was going to call it About A Girl, similar to that of Nirvana’s song but a different vibe, but then I thought, since she’s the girl I want to be with, I called it “You’re The Girl” and that’s as far as I’ve gotten. I have the chords I came up with about a year ago when I was doodling on my electric guitar, as it was originally going to be about my then girlfriend, and because I suck at writing lyrics this video helped me a lot. We will be in college next year and maybe I might have a chance for a relationship with her

    Maybe a weird question, but is there any way to send you videos of guitar playing? Like I have a few songs that I wrote and am looking for critiques on what I have wrote. Hopefully that's not an odd request lol.
