Zurf, Jerome, Ben and Amy: What do I write? Like songs? Cause I'm not that good yet...
Auxi... write what you're feeling. Sometimes I just get a thought in my head that's driving me nuts... I start writing like a crazy lady, making some rhymes and some just random thoughts, then I might get a though in my head for a melody line, mess around with the words more till it makes some sort of sense and figure out what chords will go with that melody... and there you have a song. I've only been playing 2 years myself, but I've written three songs. I wouldn't say they're great, or "that good", but they're from me, my heart, and they mean something to me and it feels pretty good to put something out there that's mine.
Just go with it, there's lots of really horrible stuff, so you can't be worse than the worst. Bonus... you might just accidentally learn a tiny bit of theory in the process on accident, I did, even though I keep fighting it on purpose. LOL!
Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
