These videos are meant to break down the songwriting process into easy to use tips, techniques, and tools that spark creativity and help you apply them like the pros. I do my best to make videos that share the 'secrets' of writing great songs without holding anything back.
My main focus with this channel is to pass on the tools of the trade that I have learned and found to make a big difference to my creative flow and songwriting. There is an old saying that goes "everybody has one great song in them", I hope to show you that once you know what makes a song great, you can apply it to all the songs you write. Start from the heart, follow your gut, and revise with your mind.

let me know what you struggle with most in your songwriting?
another great vid...
struggle would be using a universal theme (like falling in love) but making it interesting and unique
Cheers man. I'm working on a vid with some tips for that. Thing is, everythings been done. All the emotions and universal themes have been done to death. So I look at it as needing to apply a combination of "how you write is more important than what you write" and some lateral (outside the box) thinking. Like, "falling in love" = done to death, "falling in love with someone only after they have dumped you" = done slightly less. "falling in love with somebody because you're both trapped in a burning building and about to die" = done even less. Think of it like coming up with a twist in a story. then reverse enginnering it to be more universal again = "slow dancing in a burning room" John Mayer. Hope it helps.
@@SongWritersChopShop ok, I get you, makes sense
@@Table-Top cool. I'll break it down with some step by step exercises in the video.
Once again I love the video
I was wandering what is better longer songs or shorter songs
So grateful for your knowledge. You make songwriting easier and so much more fun
Great to hear thechaliecai, really glad you're getting some value from it. cheers
Great advice yet again thanks Tony.
Dope 🧏🏾♂️🥇🏆
My favourite e.g. of assonance is from John Grant's "Rhetorical Figure"
"Some people like alliteration
But I've always been an assonance man
Some people like to go on vacation
I decline and conjugate therefore
I am"
He's a clever sausage!
Great video man!
Cheers Mauricio, glad you got some value from it.
ARGH! This is amazing! Just wrote an actual song that I'm somewhat happy with off the back of this. Thanks! Great info.
Thing is, I just re-visited a 10gb folder of song ideas from a Tascam recorder from years back. They're not the type of thing I'd share and say "listen to this". They're just fragments of guitar ideas, mumbled over without any really conviction or melody. I've thought of just deleting them before because they were a mess of 150621_305.wav.
Thing is, I can often hear what I was doing or thinking about at the time, so I've taken to listening to each one and naming it. So the file becomes 150621_1305 - When You're Down.wav. Then they're all there, all identifiable as something. Then I can work from them.
With the improved singing and guitar skills (plus 5 or so years of learning hundreds of pop songs on bass, guitar and vocals) I actually have a bunch of experience that I just didn't have back then.
I'd like to recommend Andrea Stolpe and Pat Pattisson from Berklee. They both helped teach John Mayer (and they don't stop going on about it). They have some amazing bits about using imagery, rhyming and such.
I just don't think I was ready to write until I learned to sing properly. Your channel's got me right in the sweet spot. Subbed.
Cheers ian, love hearing that. It's why I make the vids. It can take time to get to a place where you are happy with what you're writing. When knowledge, experience, and passion line up, it can be a magical thing.
Pat & Andrea are two of the best songwriting teachers out there, I've learned so much from reading their books. John Mayer is also really generous with sharing his knowledge on the subject. Tons to learn from all of them. Keep writing Ian, have a good one.
What did you do to sing properly? Also important note for you is some of those ideas you have can be rough tascam recordings and be cool if you fledge it to a full song even if it has a mumbled sound it can work.
@@bluewhye8832 I took lessons, starting around 2020. Really helped when it came to coming up with a melody to start with because I knew where my vocal range sat.
Yeah I still listen back to those old Tascam recordings for inspiration, occasionally. Love it when there's a long forgotten gem, or a verse with no chorus or a chorus and no verse.
