• Step 1 - Idea or inspiration - aim to create a general feel, attitude or vibe.

• Step 2 - Title - This should match the feel, attitude or vibe from Step 1 and can help focus your songwriting.

• Step 3 - 3 Chord progression - explore and experiment with chord progressions on your instrument, create a string of chords that reflect the mood or feel of your song. This is a chord progression. Now create 2 more chord progressions.

• Step 4a - Vocal melodies - play each chord progression while you sing over the top using random words or scat to develop your vocal melody. These words can be used until your final lyrics are written.

• Step 4b - Lyrics - simplify your lyric ideas. Keep linking your lyrics back to the inspiration or idea.

• Step 5a - Arrangement - play chords in a group or try recording with synths, strings, drums or other instruments. Select the most suitable chord progression and melody for each section of the song.

• Step 5b - Clean up - rearrange your song, you can try to match the structure of an existing song.

• Step 6a - Refine vocal melody - check that the melody captures the spirit of the lyrics. This should relate back to the attitude and vibe.

• Step 6b - Match melody to idea - refine your lyric ideas. Does anything need to change? Keep linking your lyrics back to the inspiration or idea.

• Step 7 - Structure (bridge/solo) - take the song so far and play around with it on your instrument/s, play the song over and over to refine.

• Step 8 - Refine solo - use the chorus chords for the solo section and put this before the last chorus.

• Step 9 - Bridge lyrics - the bridge may be a change of direction (both musically and lyrically) that leads back into the chorus or a solo section.

• Step 10 - Tighten - rehearse the song live - record the track.

• Step 11 - Hook? - what will people be singing or whistling after they hear your song? Play all your chord progressions and improvise high climactic vocal parts. Add this new section after the choruses

• Step 12 - Chill - allow the song to rest in the subconscious for a long time (or overnight), then listen and analyse - revise if needed.

• Step 13 - Send it to wolves - play the song to friends, family, and musicians. Can their feedback be used?
