Need Advice For Writing '70S Style Glam Rock!
chrisnaish replied to heartofglasses's topic in Songwriting
The king of Glam, for me at least, is T.Rex. Most of their big glam songs are in E and use very simple groovy rhythms for the verses with minimal chord changes, then swing into a C-Am-F-G on the choruses, pretty back stuff. It's all very rockabilly/girl group styled 50's "changes." an example would be "Children of the Revolution" by T.Rex. Here's a Youtube version with crazy nice piano. For his ballads he often just rocks out the C-Am-F-G the whole time...which of course sounds epic on piano. Bowie, of course, is more tricky... but alot of his best tracks are also super simple boogie/blues based riffs with insane lyrics. Glam is more about taking basic rock, kicking up the rhythm and attitude, imho.
