Description

90% of beginners quit learning to play the guitar, a report published by Fender. This course, Songwriting Made Easy, demystifies the process of turning 'learning the instrument and musical ideas' into fully realized songs. From losing interest in learning to play the guitar to 'learning essential chords, chord shapes and translating those skills to composing a simple 4 chords song'. Learn open shape chords, barre chords and power chords and simple theories that make learning 'guitar and singing' simpler and using those skills to composing a simple song. If your bored with the mechanical way of learning, this course offers a unique creative experience of learning to compose simple melodies and song structures to retain your interest in music. You may become the next best musician but more importantly you will be a lot more happier expressing yourself using music. Also, you can't change an ill minded neighbour from annoying you but definitely find a sweet spot on the guitar to release that negative energy and be the sunshine in your own life. This course is designed for beginners and emerging creators, walking you through essential techniques—from developing captivating melodies and chords to crafting meaningful lyrics.
