How to Write a Song on the Guitar

Unlock your creative energy and begin writing your own songs! Here's how.

First, download the Major Key sheet for FREE at http://www.nextlevelguitar.com/pdf/chordsineachkey.pdf

Next, choose a row for a key to write your song in. I recommend the first row which is C Major for beginners.

Finally, after learning to play the chords, start picking out certain chords from that row and put them together to see how they sound. Once you find a nice sounding chord pattern, repeat it to form the basis of your song. Usually three or four chords together in a row works nicely (ever hear of three chord bands?)
