Knowing makes it much easier to write your
Knowing how to read guitar tabs makes it much easier to write your own songs. You can then pick the sounds of the song because you are much more familiar with the notes. If you break down a chord and write it out as tablature, you will begin to see a pattern as your song gets written. I have only experimented a little with writing songs and still find it very difficult. I know there are computer software to help write songs, but they are expensive. Use your tablature experience to help write a song to find pattern and rhythm to fit your melody.
