Feeling the flow

  1. Choose what kind of feeling you want your song to have, eg: happy, sad, horror, bouncy.

  2. Think about what makes a song feel a certain way. What makes a song feel happy? (Maybe use brighter sounds, or more major chords.)

  3. Put some chords together. Change them until you are happy with the chord progression.

  4. Sometimes a chord sequence can sound better at a different tempo. Try playing the chords faster or slower.
