If you're looking for an easy way to come up with more hit songs, here's a trick I learned from Seth Mosley at the Hit Song Formula workshop this week.

In case you're just joining us this week, we're talking about songwriting and I teamed up with Seth Mosley to help you out.

Seth is a two-time Grammy award-winning songwriter and producer with 25 #1 hit songs under his belt. One of the things we tackled during our workshop earlier this week was an easy way to come up with new melodies.

If you're struggling to create new melodies because you find it hard to sing without lyrics, here's the trick:

Use other people's lyrics to get you started!

Seth showed us how easy this was to do by using Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer," the hit song that nobody can finish at karaoke because it goes up a step at the end and you get screwed out of your vocal range. #JustMe?

Seth turned it into a ballad that was completely unrecognizable from the original.

All he did was change the chords into a minor chord progression, and as he hummed the lyrics an entirely new song was born.

Obviously this was only for demonstration purposes but it was quite impressive how he could come up with memorable melodies on the spot without much effort!

This is a technique that you can easily use to get yourself out of a songwriting rut.

I do something similar with chord progressions.

There's no reason to try to reinvent the wheel when it comes to chord progressions. Hit songwriters work within a familiar structure because it's a structure that works. By combining these two techniques you can easily come up with new songs. You borrow the lyrics from one song and the chord progression from another to come up with something completely new.

Then you discard the lyrics to write your own and voilá! A brand-new original you can put in your catalog!

Although it sounds simple, it's not always easy to keep the momentum going. That's why I'm happy to share Seth's brand-new masterclass, Song Chasers
