How do you get your feelings into your music?
I can't seem to get the feeling that seems most appropriate out. I can make songs that are happy and angry, but nothing inbetween. Sad songs, I just can't do.
Tips? or is it something I have to develop?

Zei the Seraphim How do you get your feelings into your music? I can't seem to get the feeling that seems most appropriate out. I can make songs that are happy and angry, but nothing inbetween. Sad songs, I just can't do. Tips? or is it something I have to develop? Some of the most haunting music I've ever heard is played realy slow or at mid tempo. Basicaly try fiddleing around with the blues scales and minor modes. It also helps to be sad or depressed when you are playing. Its one thing to write a sad song but its another to actually feel the same sadness.

But whenever I am sad, and I try to write it, I just cant come up with nything that is sad or whatever. And then playing gets rid of my feeling, and makes me happy xD Its a vicious cycle...

If that doesn't work then I would avoid kittens because that would just be creepy hearing happy music next to sickly kittens wink

I can translate feeling into tone but I don't know how to explain it. Think of the notes as words. OR if your going for sadness, think of the notes as screams or cries.

I can usually get some feeling out of my playing using bends and like Flabbergasted said play mid tempo. David Gilmour of Pink Floyd can put so much emotion into 2 notes, listen to some of his work and you can feel it.

well usually to make your music driven by fealings alone comes from either lots of experience writing songs that you just write for the hell of it.
but if you have no experience and you want to write a "touching, true" songwrite of a genious porportions, you should be high; otherwise people will laugh and call it a p***y song or some crap like that. stay away from writing a song like "every rose has it's thorn" because that song is the most simple song, yet it is a trademark in metal balads. and i have no idea why people love it, you naturally asume that he put his soul into the song, i think it really just speaks to some people, im not one of them though; mainly because i got my heart broken by a whore, not a stripper.

Along with playing in an emotional state, might I suggest learning as many scales as you can get your hands on? You'll probably find a few that you can use to really enhance the feeling.
