I've been a guitarist for as long as I know, and I'm pretty much at a professional level at this point.
But one thing I have never thought about or even cared about is songwriting. I don't mean just lyrics, but musically too. I'm 24, have been playing guitar for probably 15-16 years, and I have not written one single song or melody or anything that is my own. This is why I will never make money with my playing, 'cause I don't have my own material.
Do you guys think that if I've been playing for so long and have not written anything that it simply isn't in me? Is it something you have to just have? I've met many musicians in my life, and even the really bad ones who have no physical skill on their instruments still had something to show that they had written, and most of the time it was impressive to a certain degree.
I have been trying to come-up with catchy melodies or chord progressions and it just doesn't come out from me. Everything sounds so fake and soul-less.
Anyone have an opinion on this? I'd appreciate any input, and don't hold back, let me have it, just watch the hair.
