Can you turn RIFFS into SONGS? | Solo Album Journey #1 | Kris Barocsi

#songwriter #krisbarocsi
I wasn't kidding when I announced that I'll make my first solo album. I'm at stage 1 which is song writing. Most of us have a lot of short ideas, riffs, chord progressions but it's not easy to move on from there and make songs out of them. Let me show you my method, it might be inspiring and worth trying it out.
