Many guitarists, after about six to twelve months on the instrument, can create original riffs and lead lines without much difficulty. Good guitar teachers always stress improvisation as an essential skill to learn, since it gives the guitarist the ability to jam with friends and begin to create an original style. However, there is a knowledge gap between being able to create original guitar riffs and being able to write complete songs. Take it from Vivian Campbell, a guitarist currently with Def Leppard. When he first hooked up with Ronnie James Dio, he was a great guitar player, but by his own admission, he couldn't write a complete song. He just had no idea how to proceed from riffing to structuring a song based upon those riffs.

This article is directed toward guitarists who have either not yet begun to write songs, or are just beginning compositions and are looking for another songwriting method or set of tools to assist in the song construction process. Every songwriter or composer has a slightly different method of writing songs; they all work, but some methods work better than others for some people. I hope this method will help those guitarists who wish to compose music in the rock instrumental style. You could easily write lyrics to go with the songs you write with this method, but as I am personally unfamiliar with lyric writing, I am concentrating this article on the instrumental aspects of the songwriting process.

To test out the idea of writing songs away from my instrument (something I had never tried before), I took out some paper on a plane trip from Chicago to Raleigh, and in an hour I had sketched out seven song structures. For me, being away from my guitar gave me a new freedom I had never experienced before. I was letting my imagination structure the song, instead of my fingers. On these particular songs, I was not specific about chord progressions; I simply designated entire sections by a single chord. For example, I would designate the first section of the song, "the E minor section", followed perhaps by a 12-bar section in A major. My idea was to put off until later the choice of a chord progression to fit the section.

So after this song structure was completed, I knew I had a song of about 164 bars, mainly in the key of Em, with a 16 bar solo section that modulated through 4 different keys. On this particular piece, a lot of the details of the song and its final instrumentation were left for later. Notice, I did get specific in some areas about the guitar sounds I wanted to use or the type of rhythm guitar I wanted to try. I also included a note about using the Dorian mode for the melody in one section; the purpose was to make sure I tried something I normally wouldn't do if just grabbed the guitar and started jamming. It forced me to go home and figure out exactly what the Dorian mode is, and how to use it over A major!

See, brainstorming with your pen is a major benefit for songwriters who begin to get stuck and can't seem to write something new. You can write down anything you want. You can write down things that are odd or concepts you have no idea how you will make work, simply to get yourself to try something new. For example, on one structure I wrote, I put a note for one section that read, "Do something Chinese here." On another I stated, "Make the last two bars of this sound like World War III, using just the guitar." Another read, "The melody here should be oceanic". My goal was to give myself something to think about when I finally go into the studio to flush out the details of the songs.

I also kept in mind that good music is usually equal parts surprise and predictability. When I designated a section as the 'A' or 'B' section, I intended to repeat those sections at different points in the song (with some variation) to make the song more memorable. Some sections like intros, breaks, guitar solos, and bridges (a non-repeated section, typically placed before the solos), were intended to occur only once, providing the surprise elements and adding interest.

I personally like to write music with a rhythmic bed of drums and bass already established. Other songwriters like starting with simple chord changes or a basic melody. Since I have my song structure already in place, I find it's easy to put down a drum and bass track to outline the song from start to finish. I can include tempo changes and any rhythmic variations in my rhythm tracks that will help me write the proper guitar and keyboard parts that fit the character of the song. Some drum machines, keyboards, and software packages allow you to demo a simple song by entering chord changes, choosing a style of music, and selecting a tempo. This is a fast way of getting a groove going that can help you write rhythm parts and melodies as if you had a group of session musicians at your disposal - 24 hours a day!

The final step in the process of songwriting varies on your goals. Are you interested in the compositional aspects of songwriting only, or do you plan to release the final song on a CD or cassette? If your goal is the composition itself, the final step is the transcription of the song into traditional music notation and/or guitar tabulature. You may also wish to clean up aspects of the demo that are, in your own judgement, substandard, and not up the quality of the rest of the demo. This will become important if you decide to submit your song to other musicians or a publishing company, and they prefer to evaluate your song on the basis of a completed demo. If your goal is to include the song on a released recording, it's time to go into the studio, hire some great musicians, and rerecord the song, part by part. The final studio recording is when attention to detail and quality is appropriate, and is why many artists spend a great deal of time recording and mixing an album.

Amit has been writing for titles like Total Guitar, MusicRadar and Guitar World for over a decade and counts Richie Kotzen, Guthrie Govan and Jeff Beck among his primary influences as a guitar player. He's worked for magazines like Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, Classic Rock, Prog, Record Collector, Planet Rock, Rhythm and Bass Player, as well as newspapers like Metro and The Independent, interviewing everyone from Ozzy Osbourne and Lemmy to Slash and Jimmy Page, and once even traded solos with a member of Slayer on a track released internationally. As a session guitarist, he's played alongside members of Judas Priest and Uriah Heep in London ensemble Metalworks, as well as handled lead guitars for legends like Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols, The Faces) and Stu Hamm (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, G3).

Some of the coolest guitar songs are instrumental guitar tunes, which shine with their composition and ingenuity without the need for any lyrics. These epic compositions evoke amazing feelings and satisfy the guitarists intellectually with their inspirational licks, harmonies, melodies, and solos.

I tried to create the list as a mix of timeless classics of renowned guitar players and new amazingly-talented guitarists that became famous with social media like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. You can listen to any of them to get some inspiration and have fun with their jaw-dropping skills.

One of the most important guitarists ever is Paco De Lucia, who creates unbelievable sounds with the nylon strings of his classical guitar. His technical capacity is unmatched, and he is one of the best songwriters as he builds amazing musical sentences. He is the master of telling a story with his instrument.

Entre Dos Aguas is one of the most famous tunes of the virtuoso guitarist. And this version, with the other two virtuosos, John McLaughlin and Al Di Meola, is one of the best live guitar performances ever recorded.

The student of the grand master Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, is one of the most famous electric guitar players ever. The three-time Grammy Award winner has great knowledge of musical theory and attention to detail, creating very unusual harmonies and licks that are pure magic.

In this song, Classical Gas, you can feel everything I mentioned as Tommy flows from country and folk style to more Paco De Lucia realms and more classical styles, as well as modern percussive acoustic guitar playing.

One of the grand masters of electric guitar, the teacher of teachers, is the virtuoso Joe Satriani. Many famous guitarists today, like Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett, Andy Timmons, Alex Skolnick, and many more, are his students. He has been awarded for Grammy 15 times and sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. He is the best-selling instrumental rock guitarist of all time.

This piece, Always With Me Always With You, is a more humble tune where Joe Satriani hangs around great melodies with a beautiful clean tone, creating amazing guitar passages instead of shredding his way through and showing off his skills.

This instrumental rock guitar song, Wave Of Synergy, is a killer song with amazing rock guitar riffs and heavy tones. Angel collaborates with Andy James, another virtuoso guitar player in the song, while the duo throws around amazing tapping partitions and rock-solid guitar licks.

Another super-skilled virtuoso guitar player is Paul Gilbert, who you might remember from the heavy metal band Mr. Big. He is considered one of the best shredders of all time as he is known for his highly technical fast playing style. 2351a5e196
