From the course: One Minute Motivational Tips for Songwriters
Find a great groove
- [Instructor] One of the things that songwriters, especially songwriters who come at their songwriting from a lyrical perspective, tend to forget is how important a good groove, a good rhythmic feel to your song can be. Especially if you're one of those predominantly lyric-driven songwriters, take time every once in a while to write a song with a great groove, and these are easy to set up. You can just listen to a drum loop or you can put a metronome in, anything that gives you a sense of timing and rhythm will really help not only, by the way, make your song feel good, but give a framework for your words to sit in, which will make your words sound more interesting too.
