Can't Think Of New Ideas? Read On

If you cannot think of new ideas or new tunes, there's a simple solution. 


Disclaimer: This is mainly for beginners. If you're an advanced musician, you probably know this already.


1)Generally, the best compositions are made when you don't expect them. Let's say you're sitting and just playing random notes or chords on your instrument, just relaxing, and you suddenly feel like singing. Without thinking, you play a progression of chords and start singing whatever comes to your mind. That's happened to me and a lot of other people a lot of times, and usually they're better than the planned compositions.


2)However, another tip to making a great composition is to think out of the box. This means going beyond what you're taught. It's not tough at all, so beginners, or people who are scared of exploring, just read this. All you have to do, is find the same notes you're taught in another part of the instrument. Let's take the C scale and the example of a guitar. You're aware of the notes on the C scale, and the C chord on the guitar is basically played with C, E followed by another C. Instead of this, try playing D. Maybe try taking any two notes of the C scale and try playing them together. Make a combination of the chords in the C scale and try it out.


3)The third tip to coming up with a new tune is to have an open, empty and relaxed mind. What I mean is, there shouldn't be too much on your mind, you shouldn't be stressed(with work, school, college, you get my point). When your mind is too involved in something else, your compositions generally don't turn out that good, unless that's the message of your composition.
For example, if you're trying to compose, but thinking about how your boss shouted at you today, your composition wouldn't turn out that good. However, if you're singing about how your boss shouted at you, then it's perfectly fine to think of it.


4)The fourth tip for a great composition is to be undisturbed. You might want to ask your roommates or family to not disturb you for a while, to not enter your room, you might want to close your windows so noise from outside doesn't disturb you. Make sure you're comfortable, clear your mind, and begin.
