I Built a Suno Bot Because I’m Too Lazy to Learn Music Theory

The Dream Started with a Free Keyboard

In June 2024, I made a bold move: I used some points I earned at work to buy a Casiotone CT-S200 keyboard, downloaded Apple’s free GarageBand Music Lessons, and told myself, “This time, I’m really gonna learn to play.”

Spoiler: I didn’t.

I started strong — right hand, left hand, sharps, flats, rhythm patterns. I even learned major and minor chords, how to play the blues, a few pop progressions, and some fancy-sounding melodic embellishments. For a hot second, I thought I was on my way to becoming the next lo-fi Mozart.

And then I slammed into the wall known as, “my timing sucks”.

Hitting a Wall with Music Theory

That’s when everything stopped being fun. Suddenly I was neck-deep in chord inversions, scales I couldn’t pronounce, and sheet music that looked like a medical chart for migraines. I had ideas — plenty of ideas — but no way to bring them to life.

Worse, any sheet music I actually wanted to play was stuck behind paywalls. You’d think learning how to play would unlock some creative freedom, but it felt more like I was being forced to walk a very expensive, very boring path to musical respectability.

So I did what any impatient, modern-day creative does when faced with roadblocks:

I turned to AI music.

My First AI Song Was Called “YES!”

My very first AI-powered song came from a site called songgenerator.io, or (Songly I don’t remember), and it was a vibe.

I built this track called “YES!” — a chaotic, euphoric blend of EDM and Drum & Bass. It thumped at 128 BPM with:

• A pulsing, floor-rattling bassline
• Sharp D&B breakbeats
• Soaring synths
• And drops that practically begged to be blasted at a festival

The lyrics? A feel-good mix of positive affirmations in multiple languages. It was pure energy — and totally original. I listened to it over and over. In hindsight I isn’t very good.

From there, I spiraled — making more songs, experimenting with different genres and vibes. I had no idea what I was doing, but it didn’t matter. I didn’t need to learn music theory — and I loved that.

The quality of the music was disappointing! That lead me down a DAW rabbit hole with more pay to play options, and no real results.

Hitting Another Wall: The Paywall Trap

I split the songs into stems, worked on creating clear vocals, adjusted the volume of different parts, and generated MIDI files — all in an attempt to turn my AI songs and lyrics into real sheet music.

Paywalls everywhere. Shitty results behind every one. Then I found Suno 3.5 — soon to be 4.0 — and everything leveled up.

Suno Is Where AI Music Gets Real

Suno.com doesn’t give you loops or snippets. It gives you full-blown, finished tracks — music with structure, vocals, choruses, verses. It’s like having an entire production team in a browser tab.

Same song prompted with my AI Bot for Suno.

But the magic comes with a catch: the prompt.

Suno doesn’t just generate music. It interprets your input like a composer with ADHD. If your prompt is too short, too vague, or formatted incorrectly? You get chaos. If it’s too wordy or too dense? The track cuts off halfway. If you try to wing it, you’ll quickly learn that “AI music” still requires a very human skill: knowing what to say.

Suno uses:

• Bracketed structure tags like [Intro:], [Verse:], [Bridge:], [Drop], and [Climax]…
• Emotional and stylistic tags like [Moody, cinematic] or [Hyperpop, auto-tuned female vocals]
• Timing sensitivity based on syllable count, tempo, and energy curve

Suddenly I was back where I started — confused, overwhelmed, and, once again, too lazy to learn music theory.

But this time, I did something about it.

So I Built a Music Bot

Building My Own Solution

That’s how the Lyric Muse: The Suno Prompt Engineer Bot was born.

I wanted a tool that could:

• Help me structure prompts like a pro
• Suggest the right tags for the mood I wanted
• Break down my messy ideas into usable sections
• Keep track of syllable density so I didn’t overwrite my track into oblivion
• Save on Suno credits
• So much more!

So I built one.

It’s not just an assistant — it’s a music bot that actually understands how to co-write. It takes your chaotic brain-dump of lyrics and ideas and turns it into a Suno-ready prompt that works.

Want to write a cinematic fugue in the style of a sci-fi movie trailer? You can.

Want to drop a pop hook with just the right ratio of sugar and swagger? You can.

Want to build an entire musical without reading a single measure of sheet music? You absolutely can.

Why Neon Sloth?

Because I needed a place that matched my vibe: chill, messy, creative, low-pressure.

I didn’t want a DAW. I didn’t want a library of synth patches or $200 plugins. I wanted a space where I could show up with a dumb idea at 2 a.m. and leave with a weird, catchy, completely original track.

NeonSloth.ai is that space.

It’s not a studio. It’s not a blog. It’s not a tool.

It’s a creative sloth cave — slow, neon-lit, and full of bot-powered tools that help you bring your music ideas to life without having to “learn a new language.”

Try the Bot. Skip the Theory.

If you:

• Have lyrics but no melody
• Get overwhelmed by music tools
• Love the idea of AI music but hate the friction
• Or just want a fun way to make tracks with minimal effort…
