Hi! you huys can call me Balls. I'm brand new to this song writing thing. I'm a guy and have written sucky lyrics. I can vaguely play the piano and I know the basic chords. found this forum on google and was wondering if anyone could help me out in terms of composing a melody and writing lyircs. I like rock music and a few of my favorite acts are oasis, the fray, david cook and foo fighters. I really wanna learn at least the basics of song writing so that i can do it myself.

Well thank you. I was hoping to learn about writing melodies, arranging accompaniments to melodises and how to create a melody from a chord progression. Any ideas on where I can do that? Oh and would any of you like to collaborate ? I can help with lyrics. Only if u guys don't mind
