Introduction
Experimenting with using musical notation to guide Suno’s AI-generated lyrics can add a new layer of creativity and control to your songwriting. By assigning chords to entire lines of lyrics, you can steer Suno towards specific moods and genres.
Understanding the Problem
When you try to influence Suno’s songwriting with musical notation, it doesn’t always work perfectly. Suno might sometimes go in unexpected directions or misinterpret the prompts.
Example:
(Em) We walk on shattered earth, (G) beneath a blood-red sky,(D) Memories of the past, (C) they haunt us as we fight.(Em) Infected roam these streets, (G) the dead are all around,(D) We slice and dice through hordes, (C) no mercy can be found.Solution Overview
To make this technique work better, here are some strategies to refine your approach and improve the results:
Strategy 1: Use Clear Chord Prompts
Ensure your chord prompts are clear and consistent. This helps Suno pick up on the vibe you want to create.
Example:
(Am) The night is dark and cold, (F) whispers in the air,(C) Shadows dance around, (G) in this place of despair.Strategy 2: Combine Chord Prompts with Instrumental Uploads
If you’re not getting the desired results with text prompts alone, try uploading a recording of the chords you want Suno to use. This can give the AI a better idea of the musical direction.
Example: Upload a guitar riff or piano chord progression along with your lyrics.
Strategy 3: Be Persistent and Iterative
Suno’s AI might need several attempts to get it right. Be patient and keep tweaking your prompts and uploads.
Example: Run multiple generations and adjust your inputs based on the results.
Strategy 4: Use Style Prompts
Combine chord prompts with style prompts to guide the overall feel of the song. This can help Suno understand the genre or mood you’re aiming for.
Example:
[Instrumental, Synthwave](Em) In the neon lights, (G) we chase our dreams,(D) Under electric skies, (C) nothing's as it seems.Limitations and Challenges
While these strategies can help, there are limitations. Suno might not always follow the prompts perfectly, and results can still be somewhat random.
Example: A user reported that Suno sometimes sings the chord names instead of following the musical direction.
