Writing with
My Co-Writer

Writing the lyrics and melody to a My Co-Writer rhythm track allowed me to create a song from a different approach. Most of the time, I write the lyrics, the melody, and then create the chord progressions. But this inspired me to write a melody I probably wouldn't have created without the chords guiding me along. It was a lot of fun. I think it's a great tool for writers of all stages.
