I can't find a good melody or lyrics for my songs
Not sure if this belongs here, but when I'm trying to make my own music I feel like I can't get a good melody for the song (I'm making mostly instrumental stuff because I'm not good at singing). I do have one almost done song that's lacking a guitar solo and lyrics (making the lyrics is difficult too... Or maybe I should add some kind of melody to it... I don't know yet ^_^'). I think you guys can give me some tips. Any tips will be fine.

It would be almost impossible to give you any tips/advise on your song without seeing which direction your heading. Is it Boroque/Chamber music? Bubble Gum Pop? Travis Pickin? What?
Is it in the key of Z? |
That is a really general question.
I mean the first tip i can give you regarding lyrics or whatever is to listen to music and read poetry. Personally, I'm most inspired after I read poetry and can write it better that way. |

Theres a website called MyOnlineBand.com that you can post whatever you have so far and audition people to put additional parts to the song be it vocals or other instruments. Might be worth a shot to see what comes out of it.
It seems to be quite a busy site as well. |

I will upload the song that I'm working on to youtube when I get back home later today (if I remember) so you can tell me what you think of it and what you liked/disliked about it. Since I can't post links yet, I can't provide a link straigth to my youtube channel so I just put the username here later when I have uploaded the song. You can also listen to my remixes at my old channel, if you want to listen some stuff that I already have made (I'm not yet sure if I use the new channel just for uploading my own music or if I entirely move my activity there). Here is the username for my old channel: 54747908563 EDIT: Here is link for the song. Just add this to the end of youtube.com/ watch?v=1MnkFuMhEk4 Leave the feedback to the comments of the video if possible |

Now that I've heard your tune, and have a better understanding of the direction you're going (techno), I can tell you my thoughts on it. It sounds a bit generic, with the sampled drums, and buzzsaw main riffing. Experiment a bit with widening (pan hard left/right) the main instrument. That would give it a fuller sound. As far as adding guitar to it, maybe intertwine a main lick at intervals with some shredding in between. Dunno. Just a thought. |

Play a riff at one point in the song, then when the the main melody repeats, play the same riff, and repeat for every time the melody repeats, then pick a good point in the song for some fast melodic picking, staying within the chord structure.
With my limited knowledge, I really don't know any other way to explain it. |
