It can work on guitar too but pianos are easier for writing imo cus you can have a rhythm and melody at the same time Anyway, turn on a TV show or movie and mute it. Then try to write music that goes with it. Doesn't have to be good, but once you have a few decent melody/progression/hook ideas, just take them and build off that. Works for me I play piano (probably better than I do guitar) but I don't have access to one right now. The TV thing is a good idea though! I'll try that out when I can get to a tv. jamieyello3 posted... Well first I get really sad. Then, I write music to feel better. Sometimes it's forced and I can't tell when I'm making it, so the next day I just throw it out. Writer's block happens when I go through a period where I'm not feeling any emotions. God lyrics must suck to write though. "I'M SO SAD, MY HEART IS AN ETERNAL VOID" I don't even go there. If I ever write lyrics it'll be Panic at the Disco style where they don't make any sense or they just tell a story. Oof my music is awful and I end up never keeping it either. My lyrics are even worse, with the added level of mega cringe, but they're usually pretty genuine to how I'm feeling so I keep those in a notebook I sometimes look at and think about how much of a dork I am. <cite>PurpIePerson posted [p:880551614] in Stuck in a...
