Most Songwriting topics concentrate on the lyrics.
My Songwriting topics concentrate on the chords.

REMEMBER

To me, every song is like a piece of cake

THE ICING:- the melody and solo
THE CAKE:- the chord progression
THE PLATE:- bassline and drums
  • melody and solo are supported by the chords

  • bass and drums support the chords.
