How To Write A Love Song
Learn How Write A Love Song On The Guitar!
Welcome to the comedy relief portion of GuitarLessons.com. In this lesson we are going to take a look at how to write a love song. I’m not the greatest with words but I will give you a few writing tricks that I have come across throughout the years.
Emotions are a great source of inspiration whether they are sad or happy. They can give you some good motivation and material for writing songs. In the example in this lesson my girl broke up with me so I just wrote down everything I felt for two or three days. That’s where the lyrics in this song came from. Even thought they were a bit sappy they got the idea across.
Try to be aware of your day-to-day experiences and use them to come up with content for songs. The next time something good or bad happens to you just jot down how you feel and see what happens.
I got the music for this song going from kind of ripping off the feel from a random song that I had heard somewhere. I just used the basic feel of that song and changed the chords to a progression that I had come up with. The music doesn’t have to be complex especially if you want your audience to focus on the lyrics. Sometimes the best songs just have a few chords with some basic strumming.
Try to take some experience in your life and put it to music. You might be surprised with what you can come up with.
Dude, you did hot have to let us in on the pain.
Thanks for showing how involved life and women can be.
Sorry for the loss, but the song does have a nice sound.
I could go further, but, I really don’t feel so good right now

hi nate, my name is rajan, im from india! i ve been following your guideline from last one month. you are great with guitar and i mean it. i ve learnt a lot of things from you and i even gifted my childhood friend a guitar and recommended her to follow your website.
about the song you just sang. it was heart touching dude. you made me remind my girlfriend. we went around for like 3 years but she dumped me because of another guy around 1 and half year back. i never got a chance to even ask her what was the reason.
last week i ran into her and look at the funny side, she has a new guy in her life and im all single from right then but when i ran into her she was walking all alone and i still stood with my friends who loved me gave me all that i needed to come over her.
i loved her like crazy and i was dumped the day i spoke to my parents about her.
you rock buddy keep up the good job!!!!!!!
I’ve been in your situation before….im still in love with the guy but nothing I can really do. depressing for me though :/
You should really edit it and be strong and sing it again perfectly! hope you’re back together as i type now!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Yo Nate Idk if you were joking but the crying is EPIC LMAOOOOOOOOO I cant stop laughing!!!!!!!
Yeah, that’s my best acting to date
Lolz rite bro!!!
hahahahahaha soz about ur pain an everything I am 14 I write love songs edit this ppl will just laugh I know ur pain (sorta) I sing my songs cos they have meaning to me an it makes me cry (I just dont put it on a video to show the world) but this really didnt help me but thanks anyway ur a sweetheart an that girl missed something big an u deserve better
xxxx
Dude I’ve been learning guitar from you from like a few months. Listen don’t let love get in your way. You are a very talented guy, if anything it’s her loss not yours-

hi Nate no luck with that grl.Never mind it was a cool song.If u publish it I guess u’ll have a place in the uk songs chart……….
Dude, if that was your best acting to date you need to work on your crying a bit. I need to see more tears.
hey nate you have whole world along with you……………………………your knowledge and talent is spreading far across countries……you are really a gifted one…….one can empathize with you……
not to down play the pain, but it would have been rad if you broke a guitar in spite of the pain. Could not know if this was a true story from your life, however, from the look on you face I do not think so. a broken guitar would go a long way in showing the other (electric) side of life.
If i’m wrong sorry, if right then not.
Cheers
Hi Nate,
If you are true in this video then we must admit that you are a sensitive and emotional person and you were able to mix your fine sense and emotions right in your song. If music is an art then only a musician can do it properly.
Else if this is your ‘BEST ACTING TILL DATE’ then we must appreciate your business skill. You really know how to make some tears easily and use them in a professional way.
Be you an emotional artist or a true business person, the video is superb.
Waiting for your reply….
LOL 1:52 was epic.. At first i though you were playing with the “strumming action” and then you face, haha. So funny
And your voice at 2:25
But only one thing that you missed.. You had to broke the guitar when you started ‘cryin’ heh.
Lmao! exactly wat i thought 2!!!
hi nate, i git little bit confused when u speak some difficult terms like ‘keys’. When u speak these, plz explain them in your videos so i would not be confused in your further lectures. Thank you!
Hello Nate .. I am sorry for You .. I felt bad too!
Can you send me the lyrics and the song chords too ? Please !
Dnt waana sound harsh or ntn but… Lmao! Dat wuz prettty funneh
Srry bout ur loss though bra =/ it all hapns 4 a reason though oki..
some girls dont love made up songs for them
hello
Dude! part of growing up and being young is to get dumped by girls and learn, maybe one day you will dump a girl for a change. The more practice the better you get with girls just like doing the guitar. One day, girls just drop in your arm without being asked. You can pick them up like flowers and have fun just like your guitar. Remember, the more girls is the better, practice and practice until the good one come along like you have found a perfect band. One or two guitar lessons is not enough to be in a band. One or two girlfriends is not enough to be a good boyfriend or husband.
dude what an actor!!!
Try your self at hollywood!!!

Nate that’s a great act. I just don’t believe your heart is all that broke
heyyy……….I reallyneed help playing guliter.i really want to get better at it.
hi nate im ahmad i want to learn guiter and i like your website you are best
Imm only 16 and i started late but this site is really helpful. keep up the good work man.
Nate, I don’t believe that you were acting. Music brings out what’s deep in our soul. I am sorry for your dilemma but appreciate the fact that you were willing to show that music really does affect people, even the player. Thanks for all the free stuff but I must admit, it was refreshing to see an uncensored cut of the power of music. Couldn’t find the chord charts on your site but the song was awesome. Like others said, she lost, not you. All things happen for a reason. Take care and God bless, Keenan
Nate – your advice is absolutely brilliant. Exactly the same was happening to me (the breaking up thing, you know) so I made up this real cool song by ripping off the chords from Chasing Cars – it works SOOOOO well. So I took my guitar into Boots where she works and sang the song. Wow – was I good? So good, she came straight round that night begging and apologising. But, you know what? I told her where to stick it! I realised I love that song and I love my guitar much more than her. Rock on, doo doo doo, da da da, diddy, diddy….
Nate, first, sorry that you had a rough go. For me, that was just painful. Maybe I could identify…been through a horrible time and trying to put myself back together. The guitar is part of my trying to heal. If it was acting then you’re way better than most Academy Award winners…but I got the sense that it wasn’t all an act. It put you back there.
Sorry ’bout your girlfriend, Nate. XD
I mean, 8(
Dude, I will probably someday feel for you. 0_0
