February 2023 Guitar Newsletter: Write Your Own Melodies!

Without a doubt a good melody is one of the most attractive things in music.  It keeps the listener engaged and compels us to re-listen to the song.  Melodies can range from very simple to quite complex and are equally present in all genres of music.  Analyzing their structure, seeing patterns and discovering formulas is engaging and educational.  Equally, composing your own melodies is also rewarding.  Starting in 2023, in an ongoing spirit of self-betterment and musical growth, I set myself the goal of regularly writing and recording a melody.
