What Are The Different Parts of Songs? - Song Form - Song Structure

What are the different parts of songs? Understanding song form or song structure is going to be really handy for you as you learn songs & learn how to write songs on guitar. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another beginner guitar lesson for you. Today's guitar tutorial is about songwriting tips for beginners that you can also apply to learning how to play songs on guitar. A lot of guitar lessons for beginners will overlook teaching you songwriting for beginners, but they really shouldn't. Understanding these different parts of songs will make it much easier for you to start creating your own music as you learn how to play guitar. Seeing songs as their different sections & the structure of how those sections are put together will make learning songs so much easier, too! Instead of being overwhelmed with learning an entire song, you can just learn the chorus. And then learn the verse, and then learn the bridge, etc. It makes song learning a much more bite-sized process than trying to swallow the whole thing at once. Of course, these guitar tips and tricks for songwriting apply whether you play acoustic guitar or electric guitar.
