Writing Your Own Music and Improvising by Chris Moresby
After you have learned some basic chords–in particular, the open chords–and can use them proficiently to play some songs, it’s a good time to begin improvising and writing songs on your own. Even if you think you don’t have enough guitar knowledge to write very complicated songs yet, it’s better to start writing your own material toward the beginning of your odyssey into the world of guitar playing so that you develop as a musician and exercise your creative mind.
Starting out, of course, it’s best to come up with a song that makes use of just a few chords. Build on what you already know by trying out different combinations of the open chords and experimenting with the different melodies you can produce. Not only will you begin coming up with your own songs, but you’re simultaneously developing your ability to change chords quickly and are getting accustomed to common chord changes. Don’t worry at all about the songs sounding simple. Some of the biggest hits in musical history make use of only three or four chords!
After you have played around with some chord combinations, ask your musical friends for guidance. Show them what you have come up with, and let them play along with you. They will probably be able to give you some pointers as to the direction into which you may consider taking a song. This will also give you the opportunity to use any knowledge of scales to improvise over a piece of music being played by someone else. When one guitarist is playing chords, the other may want to use the scales he or she knows to place melodies over the chords being played. In essence, you can create your own guitar solos alongside a rhythm guitarist! Take turns soloing and playing rhythm guitar with someone else. You will find yourself creating new melodies in no time.
Another way to tackle improvisation and writing your own music is to begin with some songs you already know and change up the melody. For example, let’s say you really like listening to “Wild Thing,” and you can play it easily. Try writing another verse to “Wild Thing” using chords that you already know. When you can do this with one song and can play your original melody consistently, start doing it with others.
Once you have gained some experience with these steps, the next milestone toward writing some of your own material is learning how to play barre chords and learning to play them well. Some of your guitar books for beginners will contain information about playing barre chords, and that’s a great place to start. Combinations of barre chords and open chords will provide you with more versatility than you ever thought possible, and they can even lead you to experimentation with different styles. This is where may guitarists’ tastes start changing as they begin learning to play songs they had never considered learning and collaborating with musicians with whom they never thought they would play. It may not be what you expected to be playing in the beginning, but the path toward creating original music is an exciting one.
