Neat and organized read!

When I try to write songs, I sometimes would just play on my guitar and note anything that sounds nice. Now when I do so, I try to imagine the songs in my head or envision (how I would like something to sound) before actually playing. This includes hearing the harmonies and the melody, as well as the tempo. Simply playing your instrument can be helpful to start, but sometimes it can limit you to what you already know, rather than trying to attain that sound you had in your head, becoming a better writer in the process because you might have to look at your style and see where you can improve. This way you can make a song that you may not have thought you could write (but you did)
