Q: So when you sing a song idea into your phone or computer or voice memo thing or whatever, what are some of the things you'll usually use to explain it or get it down good? Like, you'd probably sing a melody, and then what else do you do/say? I guess it depends on what the idea is and how formed it is (maybe sometimes it is just a little melody line), but what are some important details you like to include?
A: count it off properly, demonstrate/explain where the root of the key is, explain any chord aspects that might not be obvious. explain or sing the groove in some way, maybe even compare it to an existing song for tempo/groove reference
