for me it's taking a lyrical idea or ambience and creating the atmosphere around it. Then build a song all around it. This is a fantastic example of workflow and applaud your album. I too just dropped my first full length album.

Congrats on your release, thanks 🙏

Just a thought: I would add that the fretboard needs to be memorized, in and out. Then with some working knowledge of theory, the whole fretboard just opens up. You'll have more freedom to be "you "musically and explore new things. Just take the time and really just enjoy the process along the way. One observation: all my younger students who are serious gamers seem to do this really quickly & it just makes intuitive sense to them, both learning theory and the fretboard. That's really cool to see.

I haven’t ever really started with just lyrics first, but starting with a song title is one of my most useful starting points. I do that whenever I make sync licensing songs especially lol. Starting with a specific guitar tone is also sometimes enough to inspire a song arrangement.

Totally man, thanks for sharing here.

More content like this. When I write riffs, I usually follow the ABAC format for each individual riff. Not always. I never write music to lyrics, and maybe that's why I have a hard time finding a vocalist to write over my sporadic music lol. I use the EZ Drummer 2 program with a few midi expansions (Metal!, Pop Punk, and Post Rock). Definitely helps when song writing. Big game changer. Sometimes to get new ideas for songs, Ill just listen to Slayer (for example) and map out their song format, and then emulate that format. Really helps you get out of your comfort zone and habits for writing.
