Question:

What's your method for creating a song?

Here is mine:

First, I come up with a chord progression.
Secondly, I make vocals to that chord progression.
Next, I come up with a way to finger that chord progression.
Then the other musicians (guitar, drums, then bass in that order) create their parts to the song.

I found that some people make lyrics first, or just start out with some riff they made on their choice instruments then build off of that.

What's your method?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I prefer starting with a literary phrase. Work out a melody and work the chords into it simulatenously. From there the song shapes itself.

I prefer a more organic approach with structure. So knowing verse/choruse/verse but letting the song evolve at once.
