when you first started out making your own music was it simpler than what you're doing now? i started writing my own songs after years of just covering stuff and even though i can play really complicated songs by other people my own songs are very simple. a few basic chords, simple melodies, not much crazy going on. is this normal or do i just suck? and i want to note that i do not equate complexity with quality, but i guess i'd like to eventually do songs in crazy time signatures with weird progressions and other funky things.
the earlier things i did would have had no lyrics and been about an equal level of complexity as what i do now
