i play drum. Wow your hobby is composing songs? That damn cool... ANy sample? WHat instruments do u play?

wow, cool, girl drummer.
it is just one of my hobby, but i seldom do that,
since have to squeeze out the idea until headache.
so only when the feel come, i only start to arrange songs.

i play drum too. and i m using guitar to find chords... and those melody things..

wow u play drum and guitar? so talented. Then whatkind of genre u play or compose?

hmm, not so talented la, since quite a number of people know at least 2 types of instrument.
i usually work on pop and rock, but is not expert one la, just very surface things.

being able to master 1 instrument is diffuclt enough... beside splitting the time for each instrument u still need to do your own work.

You're just humble

actually haven't master those instrument la.
keep on practise is the only way.
you play drum since when?

play drum since last yr... whats your main instrument? how long u beeen playing gutiar n drum?

i see.
i start to learn guitar and drum in almost the same time,
around 7 years ago.
didn't specify which one is main la,
since they have different usage.
in song arrangement,
i use drum to create the song's beat feeling,
and use guitar for the melody line...

wow 7 yrs must be damn good already. WHat makes u start them same time? KInda weird to start 2 intrument the same time.

haha, but i haven't master them la, although is already 7 years story.
because within this 7 years, i didn't practise much also.
so without practise, 7 years also not a big deal.

about start to learn 2 instruments together,
have to recall back the time when i were in form 6.
that time i m interested to play drum first,
then a music club there offer a guitar class in the same time,
then ma go learn also.

my hobby too~ haha tetiba excited

muh latest song.



if its not your cup of tea..im sorry

wow u compose songs also? Nevermind my cup or not. Can compose song itself is already an achievement not everybody can do.

what songs you usually listen?
chinese songs? english songs? or other songs?

usually, its either the melody comes first, or the chord bringing the melody.

the compose music, to me, the most important thing we need its inspiration.

Chord progression plays a huge part, to create a good song, you must first understand how the chords play.

well, composing comes by heart, but its always fun to learn how to compose starting with this simple progression

haha, these 2 chords are called Cadd9.

i dotn understand cuz cannot play guitar. izzit only know guitar then only compose song?

not necessary use guitar only la.
you can use keyboard or piano as well, and even violin.
most important, you have the melody come out.
you can record the melody.
but when in the stage of finding chords,
you have to know about music la.
