Bill, how do I get my melodies to be more melodic and less methodical? I always want so many notes, to try and contain as much complexity as possible because I'm always so afraid creating a song that is generic. But sometimes I feel like I ruin the song doing so, what do I do?
sounds like it's time to impose a note limit. Also it's worth writing down what you think 'generic' means, because i'm not actually sure myself
