I want to start a passion project, and basically write a concept album. I've played the guitar for 6 years but am only ok at it, I can identify basic common chord progressions. I'd like /mu/'s advice on writing music and stylistic ideas.
I'm also open to making this a board-wide project if people are interested.
>been playing guitar for a little over a month and slowly realizing that it will take years for me to get even marginally good at it
feelsbadman. do all cases turn out like you or did you not practice enough?
1. get a piano
2. get fl studio
3. tap out beats of other songs you like(unoriginal, but saves you years)
4. imitate melody(save you 20 years)
4. refer theory books for when you get lost

Nah man I just never improved.
Let me give you advice. Learn it by music theory, not tabs or learning songs directly.
I'm fixing my habits now.
Honestly, I was understating myself. I'm actually pretty good.

Phew, I do notice some progressions after a month, but I have been doing it for like 3+ hours a day. What do you mean by learning it by music theory? I'm still learning chords lmao.

Understand the relationships of chords and scales, your majors and minors, scales culturally. Fourths and fifths, shit like that. Also, learn the frets by the note names, not numbers in tabs.

Where did you learn this from? I've been going to a teacher and doing justinguitar so far.

This is stuff I learned from the violin, because it's the same Western-style composition. It translates easily to the guitar. Trust me ask your teacher
