So I need some advice to solve some of my songwriting failings... or maybe I just lack talent :'(
-I struggle to get away from 4 or 6 chord, chord progressions. :L I know lots of music theory and play piano, I doubt this aids creativity :(
-What order should I do things? At the moment I start with a chord progression, then beat, then melody. I think this is a poor order as again, it inhibits creativity.
-How to you write a great melody? I do instrumentals, so, meh...
-Is it ever the instruments / lack of sounds? I don't think so, so I'll try and write some decent stuff before I buy some more gear...
