Hi how do you compose songs?? Theres the vocal, guitar, bass, drum, keyboard, piano and so on...

Which one comes first? DO u start making a song by writing down the lyrics first, guitar tune, or drum beat or wat?

Sorry im a little slow but dont get it.

For example i want to make a heavy metal music. Then wheres the starting point? Guitar making the tune of the music then develop from there? Sure it has to start somewhere right? All instrument cant play separately then combine will become rojak.

If more people know about the difficulties in writing songs they will start appreciating the talent of bands more and not go for piracy

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 tongue.gif

Oh i see.. I always thought that a song in a band is created by all the members. Like someone come out with a song idea and then the separate members like the guitar,bass, drum try create a tune fit for the song. Rupanya is one guy do every thing tongue.gif
