I am an indierock singer/songwriter, for context I recently released this song. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/alexjett/roselyn I am very proud of it but sometimes I feel like I cannot get my ideas across very well to the musicians. It is entirely on me, they are wonderful. There are point in my songs where I'd specifically like the guitars to play off my vocal melody more or the drums to have a specific beat and the most I can do is sing or tap what I'd like to communicate. Is this, at the end of the day, the most effective way? I am not very good with instruments and I can also create demos that somewhat get my ideas across, which I feel is good too. I am not sure if there is much else I can do until I just get better?
