Musicians??
I have found my home.
I play several instruments, I can't sing, and I kinda write songs (I gave up on lyrics a while ago; now I try to write instrumental pieces without much success).

i’m a producer/singer songwriter and musician. There is this track that I was working on about a week ago but lyrically all I have at the moment is the hook in the verses are vocally empty because I have the instrumental which is basically just piano

Deleted user

there is a lot of seventh and ninth chords in this track and yes I played and recorded the piano part

Deleted user

The hook has a fairly straightforward chord progression but in the second verse it changes dramatically and that’s when the kinda advanced progression comes in

Thats awesome, I just do vocals and lyrics. Sometimes i use a soundboard….

I'm pretty trash at songwriting, but the one song I wrote that actually cam eout pretty decent I wrote by composing a poem, and then improvising some music to it, then wirting down that music and building on it

Piano accompaniment is one of the best kinds in my opinion. It's just so pure and simple and nice, plus piano isn't terribly hard to write for if you know what you're doing- it's really versatile and can work with what you want to do.
I wrote a piano/trombone duet last year, and I placed in a state songwriting competition, so that's cool. I'm working on a piano duet, but writing 2 piano parts at the same time is a pain. I also have a piece I wrote that was partially inspired by one of my OCs, which in theory is hilarious, but it's one of my favorite things that I've written.
I'm just curious. Who here uses composition software? Because I've used it exactly once in a music camp, then never again. I hand-write everything now. I just much prefer sitting there and having to forge together the parts to being able to have a computer play them for me to hear. (Yes, I enjoy making things hard for myself.)

oof I sometimes write down lyrics that come to me? otherwise I just don't do original stuff bc I'm highly self conscious of my singing voice and anything I've written so I just stick with covers. I have zero idea how to read tableture because I learned how to read music with all the bars and stuff so it bugs me too much to play it. on the bright side I am learning the guitar sheet music stuff now so that's good

@Becfromthedead group

Sort of? I have perfect relative pitch, so I can tell any sort of interval, recognize pitch errors in harmony and harmonize with another singing part as I go, but you can't just play a note and I automatically know what it is. I can figure it out though because I've trained myself to memorize where C is and use intervals from there.
I can tune most instruments without a tuner though, so that comes in handy.

some would say that my perfect pitch is due to blindness but I don’t know how accurate that is LOL

@Becfromthedead group

Yeah, idk about that. Some people seem to have more aptitude for it than others, and then of course, if you’re a musician, you can train yourself. So it would almost be dismissive of your hard work to say it’s because you’re blind.
