Charting out original songs - 01/27/20 01:55 PM
Played some music with a couple of guys last night.
One fellow has some good tunes. Not much of an arranger.
Songs wander a bit.
I Mentioned the idea of charting out some of his stuff so we could work up arrangements and learn tunes faster.
He's interested but has little knowledge.
Wondering if any forum members know any videos links or sites that might demonstrate a simple concise way of charting out songs. I found one online but its specific to a drummer's view of tune.
Need more of a singer songwriter approach.
His stuff is fairly common intro/verse/chorus perhaps a bridge stuff.
Charting them out in BIAB is too much work at this point.
Really just want to do it on paper to start.
Chord changes over bars is mostly what we need.
I'm happy to work with him to get started but I don't want responsibility for charting out 50 tunes. Its really his job
If I help get him the tools, show him how to use them, and he does the work,perhaps I'll use the arrangements to build backing tracks in BIAB.
I'd like to help him and ultimately play out on his book.
I'll also need to find him a metronome.
Thanks
