Whats a good instrument to use for songwriting?
There are several schools of thought on this issue. Some people feel the best instruments are a pencil and paper. Others use an instrument such as a guitar or piano to write with. Still others use sequencers and recording gear. Most people like to write with instruments that can produce chords, such as guitars or keyboards. However, you shouldn’t feel as if you are limited only to those. Use whatever you feel comfortable with, keeping in mind that different situations will call for different instruments.
The best instrument to use for songwriting is of course the human voice. The human voice contains with-in it, the frequencies that will ultimately create or compliment the Melody. A lot of times its best to go off the pure emotion you are enveloped in. Whether Happy, Sad or Angry, I feel it is best to capture the essence of the energy in the exact moment that it is occuring in, by recording it live.
