Would Shakespear Sister song “Stay” be a good song to Start with if Authoring for the first time?
Or
Heart’s “All I wanna do is make love to you” an easy one ?
I heard some songs are easier than others and I’m not sure what makes one song easier.

I wouldn’t say that a song is “easy”. Both seem like a good song to start off with.
yes sorry I didn’t mean it like that at all I will add THERE IS NOTHING EASY ABOUT THIS PROCESS
98% sure I can’t do it But I’m trying….
Thank you for your response…
From a first timer opinion, the advice that I would look back and give myself is find a song that has:
– a clear 4/4 time signature so tempo mapping isn’t crazy
– a drum beat from the beginning (not one that has none or a drum beat that comes in at a later time)
– instruments you can CLEARLY hear differentiation between (not heavily distorted mixes or so fast you lose everything trying to chart one thing)
– a midi file attached to the song (to give you at least SOME basis to work from)
– vocals that don’t have a lot of runs, just straight notes sung long
– a length of three and a half minutes or shorter
I think that would have made it less challenging for me.
