Make 8 bars of chords/drum loop/riffs when starting song

[jazmin8]

We've all experienced the dread of being stuck with a 4-bar loop and not knowing how to advance it into an interesting song.

I find it easier to build a song by coming up with 8 bars of anything first. If you're starting with a chord progression, make 8 bars of it and add some variation. Same with a beat or a riff. Because it kinda reveals where the song can go without being stuck within a 4-bar loop.

I find my songs to be more interesting when I do this because it makes the chord progression sound like a journey rather than a fixed route.

Yes that is a good suggestion.
