Title: I wrote a pop song fragment...

As an exercise I tried to just write a fragment of a chorus.  Because I figure a pop song needs a catchy chorus, so I might as well try to start with that, focus on creating just a small part as a first step.  Hopefully I will return to it at some point and make a whole song.

I was also testing Amplitube 5 plugin on the guitar and bass, "modo drum", and sunset studio reverb (plate) on the vocal.

Reminder to self: Chords are F G, F G, F G C, F G C

Sounds very catchy, like a chorus of an early 60's Beatles-like band like Freddie And The Dreamers. I also can see if you amped up the guitars with chugging power chords you could turn it into a Weezer song! Many possibilities here...

Hey, thanks for your feedback and suggestion.  Nice to have feedback as the song develops.  I decided to try your suggestion for the guitars on the chorus.  Also added sketches of an intro and fragment of first verse, trying to implement an element-by-element build.

I agree. It's catchy.

Looking forward to see where this is going.

Maybe add a harmony vocal on the chorus.


P.S. In my twisted mind I would be tempted to sing "I like her better than you" :D

This is really coming together. The verse is very cool as well, great dynamics with the chorus.

This is really developing nicely Des. I would be tempted to add a vocal harmony (or two) to the opening verse similar to the Everly Brothers style. I look forward to hearing how it develops!

It's coming together nicely. The plugins are working out good. Sounds nearly complete.
