    Well I would say a while back I'd first work out the chords, but focusing on voice leading with respect to melody and work from there, but at this point honestly it just kinda blurs together and I kinda naturally do everything at once section by section. I tend to then go back through and refine things, like in this one I went back and changed the harmony in the choruses and things. I started arranging after working out guitar based songs by ear like old Newton Faulkner stuff, as all the tabs on the internet were wrong
