As a 16yo I've been writing my own songs for a year now (have not played them for anyone tho) and it's honestly just such a great way to express yourself and sometimes even realize things you didn't know you felt before!! It's my fav thing to do :))
Nena is just giving us everything right now and I'm soooo here for it ✨ All of us swifties that decided to pick up a guitar 'cause of Taylor's music (ahem, me at 23 during quarantine) now have this perfect corner on the internet with info and tutorial and tips, it's all I ever wanted 💖💖 thanks Nena!!! Love from Brazil 🇧🇷🌈
i know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my login password. I love any tips you can offer me.
I think now is the time I write one! All credit to you and our mama TAYLOR SWIFT! I didn't know what how and all but thankssssssss. So much love to you!
There is one thing. Just write. English is not my first language, i am Turkish and 17. I started to write song 4-5 years ago. I wrote Turkish until last year. And they are horrible. But i didn't give up. I just wrote all the time. I pushed and pushed every time. When i first started songwriting, i showed my friends that i wrote lyrics . They didn't like it. They said stop don't write. You are no talented anyway but i didn't give up. I wrote all the time. I wrote so badly until last year. Then i suddenly started to writing English lyrics. And now my lyrics are good. I write for artist now, weekend, Taylor, Harry, why don't we, Coldplay, maroon 5, camila cabello. I wanna be music producer and help people with my music in this cruel world. So just write, don't give up. No matter what who says, don't listen. Just write all the time. You are gonna make it ✌🏻🖤
I am turkish too and I write songs since I was 11 in English, I'll be 15 in this august. And all I want to be is a singer/songwriter. I know it seems like an impossible dream but I'll try until the end. My friends also used to make fun of what I write and sing, but I really improved myself. Taylor Swift inspires me so much. And I hope you achieve your dream too. One day we will be remembered. 🙌
You know I'm Iranian but I love English and it's taken one year since I started to write songs English. But thank you so much for this video. It could help me to write a song just in 5 minutes and I really love it. And you teach Taylor's songs very well. I love you Nena. Hope I'll see you one day💞
The funny thing is, as I've been writing very intently for about two years, I somehow figured out most of these tips but the way you ordered the tips and the way you've explained it is absolutely wonderful and it helped me so much despite me knowing it.
When you were talking about being a storyteller in songwriting and to start with sensory things and setting a scene, my mind immediately went to “the story starts when it was hot and it was summer and….”
Girl!! this came in the right moment haha, I have been following you since a few month but this is the first time i comment. My Keyboard stop working so i was like "HOW IM GONNA WRITE SONGS?" And i was so afraid to Pick up the guitar and start writing because I been playing guitar for like a month. So Thank U
Nena! You gave me the courage to start writing!! Thank you soo much. I have spent all day writing a song. I love all your tutorials (fellow swiftie) and your channel. I would loove more of this kind of video and maybe more technical guitar stuff
I’ve wrote songs without any instrument for months and now I’m learning guitar and can play out the melody’s for quite a few of them so I guess everyone’s process is different but I love this video nina. I’ve related to this video and found it very helpful
omg!! even in just my poetry for school, i found i could really only write through the lense of another person?? now that i’m trying to write songs i just find myself going back to that but i just didn’t feel authentic or valid LMAO i’m very glad you brought that up because now i feel comfortable that it’s a good place to start. i LOVE your videos!!
This was so interesting. I don’t write music as I’ve mentioned in comments but I do write blogs and I was an English major. I also am a motivational speaker about bringing people with and without disabilities together and I believe some of the best writing and speaking is when you are brought to that situation or able to feel that feeling.
14:09 actually I started learning guitar to just make songs from my own poems, and there are a bunch of them. Still havent figured out a pattern of chords or strumming to fit any of them but there is time :D oh and your video of cheating bar chords is 🔥, i try them but still hate them at this point, so you were helpful in my journey :)
Notice that there’s only 1 dislike. And i bet that one person probably got so excited because of the great tips that they had their phone upside down and so they thought that they clicked the like button 😃👍
My dream is to be sa singer, songwriter,dancer, etc. I thought it was easy, like as easy as cutting a cake, but when I try it it was really hard and I just back out immediately and I said why are they so good. Thank you for your advice🥰
This video truly gives me the ideas on how to write songs and I already made one for my crush...now the problem is that I realized that I'm not good at singing hahaha
Hey nena☺️ Thanks so much for this video can we get a video on intermidiate song writing tips Like when to use hammer on pull off In the last of verse use different chord then before Or when to build drama in a song And dynamics ,changing strumming pattern Please it would be awesome ☺️
My problem is finding chords for the actual song. so hard for me i can do everything else with a little effort but the song part i cant do. ( i play electric guitar )
Watching in 2024. I started writing my own original songs this year and uploading them to UA-cam but they barely reach +500 views. but I still continue writing better songs hopefully one day they get more views.
i have been writing for a few years and i've found i almost always start with either chords or a specific line or lyric, its very rarely a melody at first that comes later
At like midnight last night a random bunch lyrics just popped into my head so I quickly wrote them down to get them out of my head then I realized, ''Hey- this isn't too bad-'' So I sent it to my friends and they all told me to write a song based off of it if I wanted to (I do) so I came up with some more lyrics, a chorus, all the fun stuff. Now I'm sitting here, guitar in hand trying to learn from an expert. Pray for me this goes well lol-
@@juliana_nicole Uh.... To be completely honest I didn't get far. I was also really busy at the time and forgot about the lyrics but now that I've seen this reply I might pick it back up again and try some more.
I'm starting to songwrite this year making music on bandlab starting to get the hang of it. I've felt that decide the emotion on the subject first before finding chords and melodies. May help.
Ahh amei as dicas sou brasileira e amo aprender a tocar as músicas da Taylor no seu canal ❤ pretendo aprender inglês porque ainda preciso da legenda para entender seus vídeos
I have so many songs that are almost finished but like only in my head... I've got the whole lyrics and melody figured out, but I just can't find the right chords to actually play it :(
Haha i am actually doing the same thing.. there are times a line pop out in my mind together with melody then rushing to get my phone cause im gonna record it i actually know im gonna forget it later👍
when you said: "we are storytellers, YOU are a storyteller" and pointed at the camera... girl I felt that
Me too😭
Nothing rymes with orange .

My problem is finding chords for the actual song. so hard for me i can do everything else with a little effort but the song part i cant do. ( i play electric guitar )
I usually get inspiration when I'm at lesson😬 and only choice is to write it down in a weird way so that I can remember the melody in my mind😅
This is really great!
