  1. So, let's recap. A very superficial explanation of music theory as it pertains to Heart & Soul, played by someone that hasn't mastered the piano or the guitar. However, Dvoskin did team up in 1993 with Annabella Lwin of Bow Wow Wow and co-wrote and produced "Car Sex", a dance hit in England. Wow…wow…bow wow wow! Do you know how much time I wasted on this just waiting for something to pop?!?

  3. As if he disrespects Kurt Cobain. If you need to attend something like this in order to understand songwriting at a university level, my opinion is pack it in. Pay this poor hack his seventy bucks. Simply start recording your stuff people. Playback etc. etc. etc. will allow you to grow.

  7. Excellent seminar, but why in the hell did they need to take 7 thousand flash photography pictures of him. Whoever took all the pictures really took a crap on the quality of this seminar.

    I'm learning, but I am also getting headaches from the flashes…

  16. my only complaint is that songwriters always talk like that if you're not doing all these things your song is less valid but there are plenty of songs out there that have completely implied melody that follow the chordal structure and still have tension and release

  21. This is great. I was skeptical before I watched this and came away from this realizing that songwriting is actually quite doable. It's not pure magic–just some chord progressions and variations and you're on your way to writing a good song.

  31. At around 48 mins the instructor was asked a question pertaining to chord inversions and he answered in a way that presumed classroom familiarity of chord inversions. I would have, instead, gone into a working definition of the term "chord inversion", and then given some examples of a root position chord versus the various inversions of the chord.

  34. How many songwriters in the world would have given a lot for that moment to play and sing a song for that guy to get some feedback. But here I see a dude walking bored away in between and the guy who is playing his fathers song is embarrassing. I hope these folks are not the new songwriter elite.

  36. Well if anything is possible in New York, can't you at least get some oil and oil that darn squeaking chair or door ? I like your class but good gosh that squeak has got to go.

  39. A music dept. should be able to produce a better sounding video than this. If you can't change the noisy acoustics of the room you should be able to filter out some noise from the digital file.

  44. Dissonance in singing or playing melody originated from blues players. Many of them didn't know about harmony will put dissonant notes in the melody which actually created unique sound. This effect later got noticed by professionals, that people will love this kind of melodies. Melody that too perfect will put people asleep, thats one of a problem with classical music, people will fall asleep on a classical concerts. Dissonant notes will give humans brain kinda rollacoaster will keep audience exited.
