Sometimes it's a lyric you can't stop thinking about.
Sometimes it's a melody recorded into your phone at midnight.
Sometimes it's a chord progression.
A feeling.
A story.
Or simply one line that sounds too good to forget.
Songwriting Book for Beginners gives aspiring and developing songwriters a dedicated place to capture those ideas and gradually turn them into songs.
Rather than being a traditional songwriting textbook, this is a guided songwriting journal and log book designed for actually working on your songs.
Build Your Song One Section at a TimeEach Songwriting Log provides dedicated space to record your:
- Song
- Key
- BPM
- Draft number
- Verse lyrics
- Chorus
- Hook
- Song structure
- Chord changes
- Bars
- Song notes
- Inspiration
- Reference tracks
- Voice memo
- Timestamp
- Phone
- Co-writer
- What your co-writer contributed
- Next songwriting session
- Demo to record
The song-structure table is particularly useful because it lets writers organize individual sections alongside chord changes, bars and notes, while separate writing areas provide room to develop the verse and chorus/hook.
Capture Inspiration Before It DisappearsSong ideas have an inconvenient habit of arriving when you least expect them.
The journal therefore provides space for inspiration, reference tracks and voice-memo information, making it easier to connect those fleeting ideas with the song you're developing.
There's also room to document co-writing sessions and what another writer brought to the song, along with your next session and the demo you need to record.
Songwriting With a Sense of HumorThe later pages add another dimension to the journal with funny and relatable songwriting quotes combined with guided reflection pages.
They touch on everything from needing coffee before writing the chorus to guitars knowing all your secrets, awkward emotions becoming catchy choruses, love songs unexpectedly becoming breakup songs and the rhyming dictionary becoming your unofficial co-writer.
Other reflections capture the creative reality of songwriting beautifully-writing feelings down and disguising them with chords, staring at blank pages, waiting for inspiration and having a bridge that is permanently under construction.
