  8. This one lesson is immensely helpful!!
    Since 15 I've written songs prolifically, most all forgotten. I am 67, retired, and it still is in me. You just saved my behind because I was about to get the songwriters handbook and get lost in the maze. I do not need fame, yet would like to share my gifts for others to sing/ play. Long as I get the credit, all is well.
    I subbed so I can soak up your lessons..
    So appreciated ..
    Namaste ??

  20. Hi, I'm a film student looking for a songwriter to write an upbeat pop or funk song with me from scratch. It would be paid. If interested send me a link to some song you have written in those genres to songwriter44@?@t.

  21. I cant sing but i have agree i have other people sing songs i wrote were a mix of grung and nu metal and listening to other people sing it they arnt singing in the right notes at right time cuz we hear the song in our heads we wright it down ask other opions get songs stolen so make sure u copy right ur songs guys

  40. Although I agree with @Pet Sounds comment, I would fully endorse the message in this video – provided one has learned at least the equivalent of a grade 3 in piano in addition to the same for what other instrument they are into. . I was lucky enough to have had 20 years on various instruments/vocal plus a couple of years in a pretty good music program at a certain college in my area before I decided to learn Ableton Live, so I can't necessarily recommend doing what I did if you cannot play an instrument yet, because you need to be able to bring a knowledge of musical theory to the table when beginning at DAW music production. I fully realize that my own music education was indispensable once I dove into the Ableton rabbit hole. Today, two years into the DAW rabbit hole, and yes, I am still in it, but I am loving it, and killing it because I have the sturdiness of theoretical knowledge to apply to anything and everything that I discover. And there is really so so so much to discover when learning the art of production. Today, I can happily say that exploring Ableton has morphed my whole creative process into something far and wide ranging, as compared to what it was before when it was just me, my voice, my guitar and my keys. I am seriously wowed by how things have opened up creatively for me in the digital world. There are so many new possibilities to create that you can easily find yourself noodling away at something that has literally never been heard before in this universe, and I find that so inspiring. That plus just about everything said in the video, I have experienced personally as well. You have full control to create every little aspect of what you envision musically. Thats awesome power, and agency that we would not have if we were to continue to rely on sending our stuff to producers to fuck with. Great message in this video. Thanks for the upload.
