If you're really in it for the music, just go back to being creative instead of trying to capture the attention of the short-attention span crowd. If 95% of people skip your tune because it has a two-minute intro before it even kicks in, then you still have that 5% of a loyal crowd that love what you're doing. Build on that. It's better to have less fans who are loyal than a huge fanbase who only want a catchy hook that they could get anywhere else. Now if all you want are numbers and money, different story. However, making music for the love of the music is sustainable and will more likely lead to you having success of some kind because you'll keep doing it no matter what. Those who just want the numbers often get frustrated when it's not happening fast enough and quit.

I agree with most of this on principle, but only if you're ACTUALLY being creative and not just putting a self-indulgent 2 minutes of unrelated garbage in front of a good song. A Change of Seasons has a long af intro, but it has the opposite effect of the kind of intro I'm speaking against in the video - it draws you in and hints at the amazing (very long) ride to come. The length of your song or intro is less important than its artistic and narrative value - without that, you won't have that 5% of hardcore loyal fans OR numbers and money. Keep in mind, this video was made mainly as a response to the local band-style songwriting that I see over and over where they just don't have a handle on basic structure stuff yet.

@The-Art-of-Guitar Like…that’s your opinion man. That’s not really the point Trey is making here. What he’s saying is grab your audience by the neck beard and hump them into submission with THE RIFF or the main theme of the song, and not like bludgeon them with weird riffs until the song blossoms into this thing you think is cool but 95% of everyone around you is already tuned out on. The era of the neckbeard is over. Let’s write music everyone can enjoy for a bit, yeah?
@SwBeyond2 жыл бұрын
@@treyxaviermusic Yes, but your starting point is sort of that the intro IS "self-indulgent 2 minutes of unrelated garbage" and it really does NOT have to be the case. A good intro sets the mood for the song or it could even be a break from the rest of an album. So as much as I see what you're trying to do here, and I do get that it is from a good place, I think the result of videos like this could very well be generic sounding bands, which in many cases seem to be the case these days: Same 3:45 song structure ("Here's how you write a song- don't bore us, get to the chorus!", same VST ("Here's how to get a killer tone!"), same use of harmonics ("Here's how you use harmonics!") and riffs ("Here's how to write a killer metal riff!"). So I agree with The-Art-of-Guitar here: If folks don't have attention span to listen through a/my intro, then fine. They're probably not gonna be very interested in the rest either.

I agree that the advice in this video is great for concise, efficient song writing for 2022. However I do worry that telling people specific rules about how they should write songs only adds to the homogenisation of modern music. We are already at a point in culture where the creative snake is eating its own tail and I think experimentation needs to be prioritised in order to break that cycle. I would love to see a video made specifically for the consumers of music arguing why you shouldn't skip songs at all and how we are all missing out on so much by doing so. Love your videos Trey just some thoughts from my brain :)
@vlyrch2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, and it's also assuming that the listeners would like the song if it wasn't for the intro, and that their attention spans are long enough for the rest of the song even if they like it. Neither of these is necessarily true, and "blaming" artists like they're doing something "wrong" is counterproductive. Artists shouldn't make their art conform to the expectations of their audience in any case, let alone the expectations of some hypothetical potential audience. The "weirder" your music is, the more likely it is that the people who find it are simply not interested in that style of music and were expecting something different (probably something less "weird"), and THAT'S why they're skipping it. This is especially obvious when people say "there's potential in your music, but you need to [change thing]". If someone says that, they're probably not part of your target audience... As for the homogenisation of modern music, I'm not sure if that's really happening? To me it seems more like the lines between different styles of music are becoming increasingly blurred, which is arguably "experimental" by default. With rock and metal in particular, the borders between subgenres are becoming less rigid and it's becoming more "acceptable" to mix influences from other genres, but there are still more bands doing the subgenres being combined than combining them. Besides, bands copying each other has always been a thing, and the sound of modern metal is constantly shifting and also branching off into what will presumably end up being new subgenres. It's probably more an illusion because "influencer-influenced metal" is all over KZbin. That said, I agree with the concern that the attitudes of "music influencers" lean too much towards "specific rules". It's probably in part a side effect of having to cater to the algorithm, and videos like this are effective since musicians will click on them either way, whether they want to learn tricks or to comment on them to disagree. And yeah, they could even be "harmful" if taken as absolute truth, since getting listeners is a lot more complex than just getting intros right or any other "tricks". Like Trey even said in the video, nowadays there are a lot more bands competing for attention. You could make songs engineered for maximum success and still get zero listens, because at the end of the day people need to find your music. I'm pretty sure that's the hardest part, and there's no magic trick for solving it... I miss Myspace haha. (Sorry for how long this comment ended up being.)

This really touches on one of the harder skills to develop: listening to what you write dispassionately. Most people either fall in love with everything they write or hate it. Learning to listen from the perspective of the audience you wish to reach. Long introduction parts with little/nothing related to the rest of the song are definitely something to consider depending on the audience you are wishing to reach. A Dream Theater fan is going to give you a lot more time to explore ideas than a Maroon 5 fan is.

I disagree. I almost always write my songs chronologically, even after like 15 years. I write by feel, not by formula. I never open a session in my DAW and think about what I *need* to write. I don't need to write anything. I start with the main idea, and after every section, I think about what naturally comes next or what would be cool to come next. Sometimes that results in a standard structure, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the into is a minute long, sometimes there isn't an intro at all. Actually, if I do think about something when writing it's usually the length of the song. Sometimes I want to write a 1 minute song, but sometimes I like writing 10 minute songs. Music is fun and creative. If your goal is to just get a basic song then this is great advice. However, I think it's kind of strange how we talk about being unique and finding your own sound and all that, but when it comes to song structure - paint by numbers. There are a lot of great songs that I love that follow a regular formula, but I do also love really weird songs with no structure. I know this is more focused on new writers, but like have fun damn it. Why sit around writing the basics like boring, predictable modern metalcore, when you could just be vibin'? 😎

I don't see anything wrong with writing the song in chronological order. You go by imagining that you are the listener, with a "Choose your own adventure" kind of an experience. You hear how it starts, and you choose what comes next by what you know would make you, the listener, the most entertained. And then, if it goes somewhere where the intro doesn't fit anymore, you get back there and change it...

Something else that I think works, specifically for epic songs that try to tell a story, is to try to set it up somewhat like a classical piece with movements. If the intro has a bit more meat to it and almost acts as a satisfying smaller piece that builds into the main course, I think that can also be really effective. But it has to be really intentional, and it has to take the listener to something bigger. That's obviously more advanced, but it's an approach that I do like myself.

Depends on the genre. Metal/rock I expect the intro to be at least similar to a stripped down version of the verse, or chorus, whichever comes first.

I typically do a 16 bar intro that doesn't get repeated at all through the rest of the track, except on occasion as an outro.

The intro is like the prologue of a fantasy novel. Take it out unless the actual beginning of your song doesn't correctly set expectations for the rest of the song. For example: you have clean singing and screaming (that otherwise doesn't normally fit into your subgenre) in your chorus or bridge or something, but that is the first time it happens in your song, so maybe make an intro with screams. Alternatively, maybe you have an energetic metal song, but the first verse is subdued vocals and piano or something, in which case you might intro your song with a heavy riff. Sorta like how an epic fantasy series might start with a ridiculous display of gods and the creation of the world in the prologue because a normal farmboy-the actual start of the story-doesn't exactly set the tone for the cosmic struggle that the series will turn into.

Well, to answer your first question, when I’m listening to a new band, I don’t give it very much time at all before I decide if I’m going to listen to the whole song. I’ve skipped songs within the first 10 seconds. But, I’m extremely picky for someone with such simple taste. If I hear anything that sounds remotely like “modern metal” I skip it immediately. I find that stuff boring. It lacks the energy and aggression of mid to late 80s first wave black and death metal. So basically if I don’t hear some Sarcofago barbarity or Celtic Frost groove, I’m out. As for the rest of the video, I actually agree with everything you said. I think there’s a lot of good advice here.
