I can understand books teaching how to play guitar or piano etc and I can understand learning the musical structure of chords and how they go and playing cover songs but books on songwriting I just dont understand really.
You have to do this from the heart from inside what is you. Any song you write is like a fingerprint or DNA that is to say unique to YOU.
Any song I have written is from the heart. If somebody said "hey wrte me a song about ths and that" i just couldnt do that. As it has to be some instant flash inspiration rather than contrived.
I can understand books on lyrics, but writing your own music comes from having a good knowledge of chords and how they work together.
But there is no right or wrong ways. And music is a personal thing you like a song or you dont.
ha ha am talking rubbish now.
