I want to write a song about my boyfriend and I want to write lyrics along with an acoustic guitar part. What are some tips for writing the lyrics? Also, what are some tips to writing an acoustic guitar part to a song? Thanks loves. <3
Answer
Two ways.
1: Lyrics first (recommended)
Start by just writing down everything you want to say. It might be very "poetic" or it might just be very specific. Both make great songs. Do not worry about it fitting into any kind of rhyme pattern or lyrical style. Then, one note at a time, write the music by making a FEELING. Put the words to this. Most of the time what you have written will already fit right in, but if they don't, at this stage you can start worrying about making your paragraph into lines of a song, rhyming (if desired it is not necessary for a high quality song).
2. Music first:
Do not worry about what you want to say to/about him. Just pick one note at a time, or one chord at a time. If nothing is working look up new chords. Create a feeling. Then describe what you are writing about and there are your lyrics.
Tips on acoustic writing: If you are somewhat skilled, folksy riffs sound great with a girl's voice. The great thing about writing acoustic parts is that very simple chords, if played cleanly and perhaps with an interesting strumming pattern, can sound very, very good.
