2. oooh

3. Music for machines by machines… bring back the singer songwriter with guitar and heart. Production doesn't have to make it sound homogenized. Interesting seminar nonetheless.

4. I feel like " hit " songwriting is different from "good" songwriting. I've heard hit songs that are completely crap but then you have songwriters who are well known and revered such as Jason Isbell who has won a Grammy for songwriting. I think feel like hit songs arefor people who wanna be famous and not so much for the well crafted songwriter that isnt played on radio but has honed his or her craft.

5. This is awesome. Thank you for making this available

6. Thank you for sharing.
   I loved it!

7. Thanks for sharing, Good stuff.

8. Is noone else hearing Sweet Madame Blue by Styx really? Everytime that student's guitar part is played, from part I to III that's all I can hear.

9. That girl doesn't look like she's having fun running the sound haha

10. This was so helpful! Thanks for making this publicly available.

11. what was that song played at 6:25

12. Some good information here. But these 'lectures' are structured really poorly. I'd be pretty pissed if I paid for this. I realize this is harsh sounding but the teacher's "Billie Jean' rip is entirely generic. Would he take offense or say 'so what, I sold it'. Either way, there's a problem. Just 'cause everybody's eating baby food is not a valid reason to generate it. It's so lazy. The standards are so low. Can't we aim higher?

13. my issue is you can't really hear the questions the students are asking. How can we benefit from the answers without knowing what was asked(in particular when the man and woman come in front to take questions)?

14. I think my songs just need more cowbell

15. Thank you infinitely for filming the 3 sessions, it's really appreciated 

16. Hi!..i'm about to finish your workshop in less than about five minutes .From workshop 1 to 3, I've been so attentive on every words and everything. I feel so glad coz, i don't need to attend the workshop personally, .The best thing i can do in return is to thank you Mr. Dvoskin..I'm picking up a lot of lesson from your workshop.I have a band , and the members are my  own children.,right now, after i watched your video, started my first single step towards a thousand journey of composing our own song.Might be in english or pilipino language..

    Thanks,
    –  Kitagawa band..-

17. Thats great thanks for the info. I did see a Berklee thing the other day and orgot to bookmark it so thanks or the reminder and the hint.

18. Tyler, Coursera.org, through Berklee, offers an excellent Songwriting Class that covers all the topics you mentioned and presents some very salient insights. Highly recommended (and free!)

19. A lot of info in these videos but the basic principles are not mentioned once. How verses and chorus work and then about bridges, and whether you go for verse, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge etc etc. Because thats what I want to know about. But a great class never the less. Larry seems like a nice enough guy to want to share his knowledge. (Please don't listen to my youtube stuff Larry it really all sux)

20. thanks for posting this… Larry's approach is the best I've seen… I love how he puts a song together at the piano "off the cuff" so to speak… wish he'd hold some of these down in the Philly area

21. Wtypo….

22. Larry is a class act. Thanks QC deform

23. the students all sound the same- this is because no real instruments are actually being used and everything always is dependent on a fake "sequencer" beat style I think.

24. 1:10:06 lol, here's Just Dance again. I'm guessing that was Larry's favorite song at the time?

25. That is one thing which puzzles me; you have these classes for Music Business, Songwriting etc, and the one thing they fail to do is record the event properly. Though at the same time I guess they are only thinking of the Students who are there in the room for whom it sounds great and not for us cheapies watching it on youtube ha ha.

26. The devil works for himself and no one else.

27. it's an effect called compression. used to raise the level of the speakers voice because someone screwed up. it also raises the level of everything else.

28. But yeah, agreed 😀

29. "The devil knows not for whom he works"

30. I'm thoroughly convinced this guy is Satan.

31. Sounds like they put a Mic under every seat

32. The fact that this man offered his email to the group alone is an unbelievable opportunity. You never ever know.

33. Holy crap so thats where that song came from. I love it. I'm so glad I was able to watch these I'm surprised there isn't more views

34. This has been really insightful and helpful! thanks heaps for the upload

35. Please, next time clean up audio before uploading.
