  2. Great video! There aren’t many videos about this and I really appreciate you sharing it. I think most people share your songwriting ideology. I might be in the minority but I have always felt different than the common understanding.

    For me, my songwriting has always felt like a natural ability. For example, I began playing guitar about 7 years ago. Before I even learned any notes or chords I was starting to put random sounds together. Almost immediately I was able to create songs that sounded pleasing to the ears but also involved complexities which were completely beyond my musical understanding. As I became better at guitar and music theory, I was able to complete the songs. The interesting thing is that, as time went on I wasn’t able to write better songs, or more songs in a shorter time. It was as if the songwriting had already reached its threshold out of the gates. I always knew the potential of the primitive songs I had created and that they would be amazing once my guitar abilities could catch up to my playing ability. I was right.

    Now I’m not trying to brag or anything, it’s not like I’m a famous songwriter, but it’s interesting to me to hear about other songwriters. I am yet to hear anyone who has similar experiences to me, which kind of makes me sad.

  4. Great points, Josh! Totally agree with the shortcuts part. I think that's been the enemy of most creative processes

    Looking forward to your book!
