Writing a song is quite often as simple as taking a look around, either at the external, or taking a look within at the internal, putting pen to paper, and then leaning on some tried and tested song forms. And, with over 100 years of popular music to explore there's an awful lot of reference material to help us along the way. The road has already been paved for us, we just have to follow it. In each session you'll be exploring unique exercises to foster authentic lyric writing whilst exploring key song forms and common music writing devices. You'll then have opportunity to take it further by attending supporting events such as our confidence inspiring Live Lounge Support Room where you can develop your stage craft ahead of our performance event, Live Lounge. Your creativity doesn't need to stop there, either. As a Guitar Social member you have access to our studio and rehearsal facility where you can record your work. All of this makes The Guitar Social song writing program like no other, and I can't wait to have you take part. Oh, and bring a pen.
